Utnehagen and Hellemyrstien

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:25h
Distance:
10.4km

From a recent trip report by Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) I was made aware of a local area I had not yet visited, namely Utnehagen just north of Biskopshavn. So on a Sunday where the weather forecast recommended staying away from high peaks due to increased chances of lightning strikes (which in the end did not materialize), I took the advice and headed for Utnehagen instead. As an extra bonus I came across an old ruin and an accompanying sign indicating that the location had originally been called Venehaugen . After brief visits of Biskopshavn and Fagernes, I headed home via Skytterveien and Hellemyrstien.

Åstveitskogen, Hestaberget and Griggastemma

Hillwalk

Distance:
9.1km

On a Saturday where the weather forecast was not very suitable for longer hikes, at least not those also requiring travelling, I decided to rather go for an exploration of Åstveitskogen - an area close by that I had not previously visited. I started by taking the bus to Åstveit and getting off at the stop called "Åstveitvegen". After a short walk along the road I easily located the unmarked trailhead into Åstveitskogen and shortly passed by a shelter with a sign that said "Hundremeterskogen". Plenty of trails/gravel roads to choose from and I made a quick visit of Åstveitvatnet, or Kanalen as it was called on the signs, before heading north and following a marked trail towards Hestaberget . The summit itself had very limited views, but there was a spot about 200 meters west of the summit with nice views to the south and >>>
