When staying over night in Haugsvær, we were recommended to ascend to Gråsida from Indre Haugsdal. So that's what we did then! :-) We drove road E39 "back" south (into the direction of Bergen) and turned right in Matre (to leave E39 before entering Masfjordtunnelen). This brought us onto the old road and following it we entered Indre Haugsdal from Haugsdalvågen. Driving up this nice valley, we came by three particular hills (in the middle of the valley), which possibly gave the valley its name. Near Kjetland we crossed the river on an old stone bridge, turning right (into the direction of Storemyr) right after the bridge.

Before the main road (E39) disappears into another tunnel, we turned left in Haugsvær and parked right there. Our (slightly ambitious) plan for the afternoon was to go around Hopsdalen (from Høgfjellet via Grønefjellet to Gavlen, and back via Rustefjellet). Considering the steep sides of Hopsdalen, we had looked at the map regarding a possible place for getting up to the top of the surrounding mountains. Near Indre Skjerjehogen, on the north side of Haugsværfjorden, we had thought that it should be possible to reach saddle Sygnegga >>>
