The Gjende ferries left from the harbour next to Gjendesheim in the morning and took us directly to Memurubu where a full day hike back to Gjendesheim scaling the Besseggen ridge started.
On our way we passed through Bandet, a small ridge that keeps Bessvannet lake (1374 MASL) from pouring out into Gjende that is 400 metres lower. It is said that Bessvannet is Norways cleanest lake, with a clear sight on 30 metres in the water.The path through Veslefjell the cairn that marks the highest point of the hike at 1743 MASL took us to back to Gjendesheim.
