Hovden Started by taking the bus (and ferry) to Kilen (bus stop "Kilen kryss") and easily located the unmarked trailhead for Hovden after passing by the house with the address Hålandsvegen 1004. Shortly there were several trail options to choose from. I decided to follow what looked like the most used option, taking me east and then north, before finally turning west towards the summit.

Managed to make room for a hike up Oppstemten at the end of a rare day of nice weather. Made it to the top (from the start of the gravel road at Montana) in 26 minutes 58 seconds. Some snow partially covering the stone steps towards the very end.

Svartediket to Lønborg

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:32h
Distance:
12.4km

With rain and strong winds from the south, I decided to take the bus to Svartediket and walk home from there, thus ensuring that I would have the wind from behind for most of the hike. Passed by several small shelters on the way, including one that I added as a new PB-element: Skomakerhiet .
