Hovda from Våge

Date:
02.02.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:24h
Distance:
21.8km

Started by taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge, from where I walked east along the road for about 8.5 km before locating the marked trailhead for Hovda . On the opposite side of the road from the trailhead, there was also a small parking lot and World War II memorial monument (the latter indicated as "Minnestøtta" on the later trail signs). For the first 400 meters the trail followed a tractor road, before suddenly turning left and leaving the tractor road behind. If this exit had not been marked I would most likely have skipped it, as it at times looked more like a deer track than a marked trail, and it was also very wet. The trail markers were not very frequent, but did show up when needed, and was generally easy to follow. Just don't expect to be able to walk from one marker >>>
