Characteristic:
Hillwalk

We started from the private parking lot at the end of the gravel road on the east side of Barsnesfjorden. From there we followed the trail via Dal to Helgasete . Snow covered the trail from just below Dal and there were light snow showers at Helgasete. Note that the road to where the trail starts is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.
