Description of hike
The first part of the hike follows the trail to Melakollen, but instead of turning left uphill to Melakollen, you continue straight on to Prestegården. You pass a felling patch then, just over half way, cross Frimannsdalen. The path continues over the ridge and down to Prestegårdseter.
This route follows an old road in forest terrain from Brånaskotet to Prestegårdseter.

Access
