Fagernes is where Road 51 meets the E-16. One of the recommended "beacon hikes" is here. The hike up to the pavilion (at orange arrow) is short (1.1 km), but steep (210 m climb). The first part of the trail is actually on residential roads. Once the trail enters the woods, it's a 180 m rise in 500 m of trail -- a greater than 30% grade. More like a climb! In addition to the pavilion, an old abandonned farm, Kviteberg, is at the top.
