From BT Cabin, follow the T-marked trail southeast along Vesetvatnet. Some distance beyond the end of the lake, the trail climbs steeply past Jeriken to a small lake; keep to the right until you reach a signposted trail junction. Continue east for a few hundred metres through the hollow to «Fallet». Here, the trail turns south and winds steeply down towards Tyssedalen along an old cattle trail, partly paved with stone. At the bottom, cross the river and continue along the T-marked trail, passing a steep section with beautiful waterfalls and the mountain farms at Tyssedal, then around the lake and farther down the valley. The final section becomes flatter and greener, with several stone-paved stretches, until you reach Søtnos, where the trail joins a road.
