The search for Fjeldborg at Landåsfjellet continues...

Distance:
11.9km

After failing to locate Fjeldborg two days earlier , I decided to have another go, if only to check a couple of areas I had not covered on my previous attempt. Today I mainly focused on the area southeast of Landåsfjellet , but sadly no luck there either. I'm starting to realize that this task is perhaps the hiking-equivalent of looking for a needle in a haystack... Update: It later turned out that I had visited the location of Fjeldborg without realizing it as part of my initial search. See knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's report from May 12th 2021 .

Distance:
8.7km

A relatively short hike to three small hills that all happened to start with the letter L! Started with Lerkhaugen , which was easily accessed via a trail to a larger summit area with no clear highest point. Limited views due to all the trees giving the hill its name. From Lerkhaugen it was only a short walk to the start of a trail/deer track that took me all the way to the summit of Lisahaugen . Not the best of views here either, but Nattlandsfjellet could at least be spotted in between the trees. After descending from Lisahaugen, I followed various roads on my way to Nattlandsveien, making a quick revisit of Langhaugen towards the end.

I had initially given up on trying to find Fjeldborg at Landåsfjellet due to very limited information regarding its location. But after reading knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's recent trip report where he mentioned the characteristic rocks behind the cabin that are prominent in both pictures in Bergensernes Fjellverden II (BF II) (also included in Knut Sverre's report), I decided to give it a go anyway. Old aerial photographs did not provide any clues this time around, i.e. I had to depend on visiting potential locations and hope for the best. It has been suggested that Fjeldborg was most likely located close to Fjelly and Stulihaugen . I still decided to expand my search and thus started looking for possible locations already when approaching Orrehaugane . When getting closer to Stulihaugen, I shortly thought I had found what I was looking for just north of the small >>>
