Trip Summary

Even though the weather was not exactly nice, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air and thus started a our little walk from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen. We first "circled" the school at Varden, before we crossed over the football fields north of Varden. At this point, we decided to visit Hesjaholten, i.e., the hill next to the major buildings that have earned their name from it. We used a little passage between Hesjakollen 42 and 46 to get into Kanadaskogen. From there, it was only a question of a few minutes until we stood at the top of Hesjaholten (with a nice big rock on top!). From there, we then continued in northern direction, "collecting" one hill after another. This way, we rounded Bjørndalsvatnet, heading towards Træshovden on its northern side. From there, we connected to Ravnestølen (in the north of Træshovden). Since nightfall had started, we decided to return on the road (Bjørgeveien) instead of following trails in the dark. Certainly, when the conditions permit it, another route, for example via Straumsfjellet, would be nicer than walking along the street on asphalt.
