From Stalheim the hike goes up to Brekke and at the gate you turn right and go down the road and over the bridge to Sivle. From Sivle you then follow the path up towards Sivleshagen, under the red cabin and into the forest.

The Nåli Farmstead - circa 1910

Nåli is located halfway between Stalheim and Jordalen, and was inhabited and in operation until 1925/1930. Today, the remains of the houses at Nåli cannot be seen. Instead, the area has been converted into a small picnic area, with several benches and tables.
