Liatårnet and Høgafjellet

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:45h
Distance:
8.4km

We parked south of Fjell, where a road departs, leading to Fjell Festning. We followed this road for a bit, before we continued towards Liatårnet (to the right). Someone has put significant efforts into putting signs up and marking the path, so it's really straight forward now to find the path up Liatårnet. :-) From Liatårnet, we enjoyed nice views in all directions, before we continued southwards towards Høgafjellet. After the first descent, we probably followed an older path, before we connected back to the blue-marked path towards Høgafjellet. The path from Liatårnet to Haganes, via Høgafjellet, is really very nice with great views and rough, wild romantic impressions.

Hillwalk

Distance:
6.6km

From road 210, some ~500m from Landrovegen, we first headed eastover (following an easy to find and well-used path), before we then started to ascend to Spjeldsfjellet. From the top, where we enjoyed extra-strong winds (so strong that it -- at times -- was difficult to prevent falling over!), we first descended towards Spjeldsunnet, before we then turned back (without path, approx. from km 3.6 to km 4.5), getting back to the same path which we had used first (slightly beneath Spjeldsfjellet). All in all a nice hike in stormy weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Spjeldsfjellet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Spjeldsfjellet .

Someone (Leif Algerøy?) has put really a lot of effort into preparing nice hiking choices on Algrøyna -- wow! :-) The tour to Sandeie is really worth the lengthy approach (driving to Algrøyna)! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Nice and easy tour -- not much up, actually, but great views over the North Sea! One could also connect further to Pyttane and/or Liatårnet -- really a great hiking area! Note that parts of this tour (between km 3.6 and km 4.5) were without path, while still easy to go.
