Stavali

We left Kragerø at 04:00 and arrived in Kinsarvik at 09:00, where we parked the car. While waiting for the bus to Liseth (departure at 10:40), we bought food for the trip. The distance from Kinsarvik to Liseth is about 50 kilometers, and the bus ride took around one hour and cost 76 NOK.
We started the hike from Liseth at 12:10 in overcast weather, with some light rain and occasional glimpses of sunshine. After five hours of walking, we arrived at Viveli at 17:10. Viveli is a private cabin located at 950 meters above sea level. We spent the night there and had dinner – salted meat with mashed rutabaga. The overnight stay with dinner cost 350 NOK.
Day 2 We left Viveli at 10:30 in light rain and cloudy weather, with some sunny intervals. The heaviest clouds seemed to linger down in the valleys, so visibility was good. We arrived at Stavali at 17:00 and stayed overnight. Stavali is located at 1,030 meters above sea level.
Day 3 We left Stavali at 09:55 and arrived back in Kinsarvik at 15:10. The descent was beautiful, with some sunshine and great views. We passed several old summer farms (støls) and encountered few people along the way. After the hike, we drove to Odda and spent the night at Odda Cabin and Guesthouse.
Day 4 We drove home from Odda. The drive took about five hours.
