© Atle Solholm I've been hiking to the summits Storhornet and Lesten on the mountain of the island Godøy multiple times. This afternoon I did this trek again. I set out from the relatively new parking lot in the bay called Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's bay]; which is rather spacious, making it possible even to park there with a lorry. I frequently borrow either my wife's car or my son's car when I go trekking, but on this day they were both at work; hence I had to use my truck/lorry, as that's the only vehicle owned by me. I climbed up to the plateau on which lake Alnesvatnet is located, and continued up the ridge just north east of the lake, towards Storhornet. The trail curves southwards, and then southwest as you approach the summit of Storhornet (495 m.a.m.s.l.). From Storhornet it is possible to just continue >>>
