Træshovden and Svartaberget

Date:
20.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:31h
Distance:
4.5km

Short evening hike with the main goal of visiting Træshovden . Instead of taking the most direct route to the summit, I first followed a trail along the ridge west of Ravnestølen, which later connected with the main trail to the summit. Overall relatively limited views from this minor detour, except for at the start when one could look back at Svartaberget and Lyderhorn . There was also one spot with good views towards the west, which is more than can be said of the summit of Træshovden. After returning to Ravnestølen, I made a revisit of Svartaberget, given that the views on my previous visit had been far from optimal. Today there were close to no clouds and I could fully enjoy the spectacular panoramic views! From the summit, I followed a trail towards the northern starting point of Knappetunnelen, passing by two of the >>>

Svelihovden and Såbotshaugen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:44h
Distance:
7.9km

We parked at Kvamsvegen P-plass and from there followed the gravel road up to Kvamsstølen. Here we passed through a gate and continued northwest on what was most likely the old road to Kvamsstølen. At Høgaleitet, southeast of the unnamed 243 hill, we turned west and followed a tractor road northwest towards the trail to Norhytten . However, we got fooled by the trail indicated on the map and continued too far along the tractor road. Instead of retracing our steps to locate the missed exit, we went for a shortcut following a deer track through the semi-dense vegetation, and had to climb a fence. When walking south along the fence we soon came across the gate we should have passed through, with clear trails in both directions. I took the short detour back through the gate to figure out where we had missed our exit. The >>>

Kistehaugen, Høgehaugen and Klubben

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:41h
Distance:
11.3km

Another hike in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) . This time exploring the small hills west of Gaupåsvatnet. I started by taking the bus and getting off at the stop called Spåkevegen. From there I easily located the old road taking me up towards Lyskasterbatteriet på Gaupåsen . On the way there I made a short off-trail visit of Kistehaugen to the south, which included a bit of backtracking as I realized too late that I ought to head there first, but was otherwise straightforward. Kistehaugen even included its own trig marker, however the views were very limited. Next up was Lyskasterbatteriet. An interesting location with the remains of old military installations, and with fitting live sound effects from the shooting range just north of Arnavegen. From there I continued towards Høgehaugen on a surprisingly good trail, albeit with limited views. The trail passed >>>

Lauvåsen from Lønborg

Date:
15.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:18h
Distance:
13.6km

After Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's recent "discovery" of Lauvåsen , I of course had to make a visit. I started by walking along the roads from Lønborg to the unmarked trailhead right next to Vinddalsveien P-lomme . The trail was initially a bit weak, but soon it was easy enough to follow. I think I missed an exit somewhere though, as the trail I was on did not head towards the summit. I therefore made an off-trail shortcut and soon reconnected with a trail that took me all the way to the summit, which provided nice views, especially west across Jordalsvatnet and Eidsvåg. From the summit, I continued along the trail to the overhead power line to the south, where there was an excellent overview of Jordalen. Here I noticed that the trail continued east, and I saw an opportunity for an alternative route back to the road. Shortly I reached >>>
