Along the trail you'll pass the Nyehuso homestead, the foundations of the spring barn at Helling and the remains of old stone quarries. At the top of the hill you'll find a picnic area with a view of \u00d8vre-\u00c5l, and for those who want to continue, it's possible to extend the hike to Damtj\u00f8rne with a shelter, fire pit and traces of the Stone Age seabed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Car park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Signposted parking at Helling in \u00d8vre-\u00c5l.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hike description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The hike starts at Helling in \u00d8vre-\u00c5l, where a restored bridge over Helling-grove marks the entrance to the trail. After approx. 300 metres, the trail splits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you turn left and follow the stream upwards, you'll take the shortest but steepest route.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you turn right, you'll get a gentler climb along the edge of the pasture, through a beautiful and well-preserved cultural landscape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both routes take you to Hellingst\u00f8len (800 metres above sea level), where there is an organised picnic area on the mountain just below the hut. From here you can turn around and return to the start, or choose to continue up to Damtj\u00f8rne. By the water there is a shelter with a fire pit, and you'll find a stone slab with wave impact marks, which is a geological memorial from the time when the area was under the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be grazing animals in the area, so be considerate and keep your dog on a lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ut.no\/kart\/tur\/118304\/hellingstlen-i-al#12.56\/60.63722\/8.5181\">Ut.no<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hiking map Reineskarvet 1:50 000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trip to Hellingst\u00f8len is a short but eventful round trip along an old farm track in beautiful surroundings.
