Trip Summary

We took our eBikes around Bønes and left them behind near Langeholmen. From there, we first ascended to Lerkhaugen, before continuing into the direction of Lisahaugen (we did not include the "top" of Lisahaugen, though). After following a short stretch of Løvstien, we followed the ridge upwards that also leads to Mindebakken. Instead of stepping all the way up to the "top" of Mindebakken, however, we continued further northwards into the direction of Løvstakken. Kind of "half way up" between Dalen on the right (east) and the "top ridge" to Løvstakken on the left (west), we aimed at a minor trail up to Løvstakken (ascent from the southeast). After stepping through a bit of vegetation at about 300 mosl, we soon found the trail and followed it "all the way up" to Løvstakken. To descend from Løvstakken, we first followed the (not so major) trail towards Rosenlund in the west, before then turning left (southwards) and traversing the little ridge in the west of the little lake south of Løvstakken. This brought us then back onto the main trail in the south of Løvstakken. Once down to the one spot, where a few steps, supported with a rail, lead down a little cliff, we continued towards Langatjørna through the forest (instead of over the main ridge). From Langatjørna we then followed a nice trail down to Løvstien. Once back to our bikes, we then headed home via Bønes and Lyshovden.
