Trip Summary

We started from Varden, crossing over Bjørgeveien near Sandeidet Terminal, and taking up the stairs to Vassteigen. We then took the trail that starts north of Knappatjørna and leads (more or less) directly up to Knappen (not including Eldtona, this time). At Knappen, we this time explored the southern side (towards Hesthaugen) and found an interesting spot there with a nice view towards the west (and over Maggevika). We then returned via Knappatjørna, where we enjoyed nice spring weather for a while, to Varden. Good to have Knappen nearby, when time is short, and there's still a wish to get some fresh air! :-)
