Bukollen

Bukollen rises 808 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and providing expansive views across the Vassfaret region from its peak point.

The mountain area served as a significant hunting ground until 1956, when the last of approximately ten brown bears was recorded shot in this location.

Norwegian authors Edvard Elsrud and Mikkjel Fønhus documented the mountain's natural elements in their literary works, including the book 'Bjørnejakt i Vassfaret'.

Hiking trails to Bukollen's summit start from multiple access points, with the southern route through Vidalen offering vehicle accessibility toward Hedalen and Nes.

The mountain contains the Bukollgrasingen area, where brown bears historically established their winter dens among the transitional zones between forest and bare rock.
