Nissedal offers 40 different summits spread across the entire municipality, so you should be able to find hikes near you, and perhaps eventually try your hand at unknown summits in several places in the municipality?
The prize for participation once you have climbed 10 different summits is, as usual, better fitness, and a brand new t-shirt with a new design for 2023. See the municipality’s website for more information.
