Description

Of the several mountains called -skorka in the Vestnes/Ørskog area there is only one with a name indicating it is a large/big mountain; Storskorka. This is rather confusing since this is by far the lowest of the -skorka tops, and 300 metres lower than the relatively low Litleskorka. The only possible explanation to this confusion must be the fact that from Øvstedalen Storskorka has a much more dominating appearance than the others, with its location right in your face.
The views from Storskorka are restricted by higher mountains all around, but can still be considered nice since you get an very fine view of the neighbours.
