There is a well-marked path to Lakkenstova, which is one of the cabins run by KOT. Most people walk there from the car park at Farvannet or from Ljosland Fjellstove. People often use Lakkenstova as their starting point for longer hiking tours into the mountains, but it is also popular for day trips. The walk to Lakkenstova takes around 2,5 hours. If you want to walk up to Skorae, you will have to turn off from the marked path. Use the map Tur- og Opplevelseskart for Region Mandal to plan your trip. « less
