Trip Summary

Quick Sunday afternoon round, including Vardafjellet and Orretuva, starting from Fjellbirkeland, following first a gravel road towards south-east into Tjørnadalen, before turning back upwards (to the north-east) towards Vardafjellet first, then Orretuva. Afterwards, down to Stignavatnet and along it, before back up to the gravel road. All in all, the hike was moderately boring with only short parts (for ex., along Stignavatnet) through quite romantic nature.
