Inderøy Walk – Korpåsen in Mosvik – Patricia McLellan's Blog

Today was a pleasant autumn day, with no wind or rain. I went for a walk with a friend. We meet most Wednesdays and enjoy walks in various parts of Inderøy.

She parked her car near the school in Mosvik and we walked around the farm called Stor-Grande and were soon in the woods. Though we started off heading towards one particular check-in place, we ended up changing our minds and going to Korpåsen which has a beautiful view. We used about an hour and a half on today’s walk.

A lot of the walk was along a tractor road. It was steady uphill, but not steep.

Though the tractor road was easy to walk along, the terrain went up very steeply and down very steeply on either side of the road. This wasn’t an area to walk off the road.

The tractor road was in good condition and obviously used. We came to an open field where the sun was shining on the trees turning yellow.

We had come from Stor-Grande, a blue trail, meaning that it was easy walking. So far we had walked 2.1 km. To the right in the picture one can see the trail that goes towards Øksnåsen.

In the middle of the woods we came to this sign with a map of the area. We took the trail towards Skarnsundbrua. Now we were on a more difficult walk.

Now the trail became narrower and slightly more challenging, with roots in the path and in places large rocks to climb up. Here you can also see a small wooden bridge across a stream. Note the red and white streamer on the tree on the right which is the modern method of marking trails. On the tree to the left is a round patch of red paint which is the older method of marking trails in the woods.

Somebody has made visitors welcome by putting up a sign telling the visitor what the name of the place is. From here there is a view over Trondheim Fjord and the center of Mosvik.

There was even a flag flying today. The box on the tree has a book one can write one’s name in.

Today the temperature was about 9 degrees Celsius, so we didn’t sit long at the top. There was just a bit of a breeze and after climbing uphill we cooled down quite quickly. Soon we were walking again and heading down the hill to the car. It was a very pleasant outing with a good friend. This is a recommended walk, with many variations if one wanted to take an even longer walk. See the map in the picture above for suggestions on a round trip in the area. We walked back down the hill the same way we had gone up.
