Notes:
Veslefjellet is the highest point on the famous Besseggen trail, running from
Gjendesheim to Gjendebu, on the west side of lake Gjende. Besseggen is a narrow ridge
at the south end of lake Bessvatnet. The trail continues to the Memurubu tourist hut
and over the Memurutunga plateau before it descends down to lake Gjende down through
Bukkelægret and ends at Gjendebu. You will never be alone on this trail on any
given summer day.
