Hiking to Fugltinden

July 21, 2010, I hiked to Fugltinden (1033m). The weather was unstable and on the peak alone I had rain, snow, fog, sun and blue sky! It was a great trip and a new peak for me. I started from Tennes and after some trouble finding where the route actually started, it was very well marked and easy to follow. I spent 1h 27min to reach the top, and 40min to get down again. There are no really steep parts and the trail is suitable for almost anybody. Even so, the view from the top is breathtaking!
