The trail up to Lundeskaret is said to be Norway's steepest DNT-marked trail, and work to improve the trail began as early as 1906. At that time it was blasted out and secured with bolts and ropes. The work carried out amounted to 800 man-days, and a total of 800 kroner was paid for the job.
In 2014 and 2015, the trail was improved again by Nepalese sherpas. Stairs and wire were installed in the steepest and most exposed sections. The staircase itself is divided into sections, and it is difficult to see exactly where the different sections are on aerial photos, so the marking on the map is therefore not definitive. According to a report from the National Park Board covering the restoration, a total of 122 meters of new stairs were built, spread across 9 sections. In addition, 36 meters of old stairs were repaired/improved. 233 meters of the trail were also generally improved with some stone paving. 93 meters of wire were also installed
From the top of Lundeskaret you can continue further up toward Tuva at 1303 meters above sea level and Sygnesandsnipa at 1548 meters above sea level. Up here there is a fantastic view out over the Kjøsnesfjord and the surrounding mountain areas. Round trip about 11.5 km and 1300 meters of elevation gain.
