A few weeks ago we decided to climb Mt. Esja, which we see every day from our window. We were lucky to be out there on a beautiful day, just a couple days before snow appeared atop the mountain!
The next photo was taken a bit higher up, looking down.
Here you can see how steep and rocky the upper part of the mountain is.
We made it to the top after about 2 hours.
The marker at the top shows the relative position of neighboring mountains and towns.
Looking in the opposite direction, there is a mossy expanse. It's soft and cushy to walk on. Feels like walking on pillows.
We can see our apartment building from here. See it? You might have to squint.
Looking up from near the bottom, it doesn't look like a strenuous climb. Most of it was mild enough, although the rocky top part was a bit of a challenge. It helps to bring sandwiches.
