Gravdalsfjellet from Nipedalen

Short evening hike from the final bus stop in Nipedalen. Began with the steep trail, starting directly behind the bus stop, up to Nipetjernet. On a previous hike I had noticed an even steeper trail continuing from the northern tip of the lake heading in the direction of Gravdalsfjellet. The first stretch was even steeper than expected, requiring light climbing, and in hindsight, probably not the best trail after the recent rain shower that had occurred when I was on the bus. But thankfully the trail soon levelled off and, while still slippery, from there it was straightforward to reach the summit of Gravdalsfjellet. The trail did get a bit weak at the end though, but could also be that I made my own shortcut without realizing it.

On my ascent I had heard thunder in the far distance, but as it was now slowly getting closer, I therefore did not stay long before starting my descent. This time following the marked trail down to Nygårdslien. Which again had to be handled a bit carefully due to all the wet slippery roots. I almost made it back to the bus stop at Lyngbø before it started raining again. However, in the end it turned out that my timing was pretty good after all, as minutes after entering the bus the heavens opened up and the rain started pouring down. Soon also with added thunder and lightning. Very happy I that was not still at the summit!
