Trip Summary

We took our eBikes and cycled to Løvås, first. From the end of Løvåsveien, we then aimed at Eikhaugen as our first intermediate hiking goal. We stayed on the eastern side of the small valley (between Eikelia in the west and Eikhaugen in the east) and ascended to Eikhaugen via the small ridges south of it. From Eikhaugen, we then continued to Tøshaugen, a little bit further north, and from there to Fyllingsnipa, yet a short bit further north. The approach to Fyllingsnipa from the south is a bit steep, but not really a problem. From Fyllingsnipa, we then continued along a proper trail to Gravdalsfjellet, passing by Viggohytten on our way up. From Gravdalsfjellet, we then continued towards Lyngbø and down to the northwestern end of Nipetjørna. After crossing over the little dam that holds back Nipetjørna, at least in parts, we made a short detour to Lyngbønipa before starting our walk back via Eikelifjellet.
