Trip Summary

We biked to the northwestern end of Løvstien at Øvre Riplegården and started our exploration from there. We first ascended to the ridge in the west of Nilsadalen, following it then towards the south (and upwards). When eventually close to Ravnefjellet (in the west), we crossed over (towards the east) to get up to the southern top of Liafjellet. From there, we connected to the northern top of Liafjellet. Next, we aimed at Strandafjellet via Juvdalen. The descent from Liafjellet into Juvdalen was a bit steep, but still OK. Once in Juvdalen, we descended just a bit more to get up to the northern ridge of Strandafjellet without any climbing. Ascending to Strandafjellet via its northern ridge was then straight-forward and nice. From Strandafjellet, we then connected back to Liafjellet, before getting over to Ravnefjellet from there. Then, it was just down the northern ridge of Ravnefjellet in order to get back to our bikes. One could say that we made a few kilometers and also some height meters within a relatively small area that also does not really have any significant tops! :-)
