Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Date:
22.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.0km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.

Sangoltshornet

Date:
15.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.1km

We started right next to Sangoltvatnet and quickly found a path that led us up to Sangoltshornet. This really is no difficult, nor demanding hike. Still, one can enjoy nice views, for example, over Raunefjorden. From Sangoltshornet, we then continued -- without path, mostly -- in a south-easterly direction, passing over three, four additional, minor heights. Eventually, we decended -- also without any path (not 100% recommended) in direction NE (basically towards Sangoltvatnet). Once back down, however, we completed a slightly larger round, including a place near the coast with name Sangolthella / Helleskaget. All in all, the hike was refreshing in nice winter weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Sangoltshornet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Sangoltshornet (also via Mannen).
