Upon completing our hike to Gaddane and Hædna, we still had plenty of time before the ferry. I therefore decided to add a visit of Teglbu. So while Petter drove directly to Jondal, I was dropped off at the marked trailhead north of Teglhaugen. From there I could easily follow the marked trail to Teglbu. Before descending, I also made sure to visit the much better vantage point just west of the cabin which provided a nice overview of Jondal.

Given that I had ferry to catch, and had to move fast, I ended up losing the marked trail at the start of the descent. Basically, I turned right (west/northwest) too quickly. And while I probably could have descended via this route as well, I concluded that I still had the time to search for the proper trail and it did not take long before I was back on track.

The proper trail was steepish at times and may not be the best route under icy conditions, although there were several metal chains for extra safety. It also did a detour, but this was worth it in order to pass by an excellent vantage point. After a final short walk along the road, I then rejoined Petter around five minutes before the ferry arrived to take us back to Tørvikbygd and the drive home to Bergen.
