Kyrkja

Fanatisk utsikt fra toppen, litt klyving opp, men det går helt greit. Vel verdt en tur. Anbefales da det er en lett tilgjengelig 2000 meter topp.

Rozhodně stojí za navštívení. Zabere cca. 4,5 hod. od chaty a cca. 600 výškových metrů.

Kyrkja er et flott fjell ved Leirvassbu som fortjener et besøk. Fjellet er umulig å ikke se der den ligger på andre siden av vannet. Fjellet kan se ubestigbart ut, men krever kun lett klyving mot toppen. Turen til topps tar mellom to og tre timer, stien er lett å følge. Bildene er fra Kyrkja.

Turen i seg selv er veldig fin, ca 4 timer tur-retur Leirvassbu. Et par ganske luftige partier opp mot toppen.

Kyrkja 2032m was the last mountain to climb for me in Jotunheimen this year, my base camp was situated further away in Olavsbu (about 10km), heavy fog covered the mountains with little hope to improve. I had to try anyway. While ascending neighbouring mountain Kyrkjeoksle 1843m (part of the Kyrkja trail) fog lost some of its intensity. I have never had any hopes while hiking - for good weather, great views, no wind or easy trail, I am just spectator and I like it this way. Somewhere around 1800m, still in a fog, trail turned to north to the real Kyrkja mountain, slope became really steep and fog was hopeless till I ascent to 1950m to the top, the sky opens only for a few seconds I was barely able to take a picture. Top was wider then mountain itself and looks glorious, when I climbed it I realised this is not the top, mountain was higher, soon when fog was blown away for a short while I saw another top, the real one, with magnificent stairway disappearing somewhere in heaven probably. I quickly climb it just to realize its still not the summit, there was one more final top all in reddish brown color, when I reach it fog moved below me instantly so I could enjoy amazing views from this nature sanctuary for long enough before first tourists came.

nydelig
