Svartaberget

Started by taking the bus to Lyngbø and walking up Nipedalen to Tennebekktjørna, and onwards to Svartatjørna where I tried to locate a trail to Svartaberget. The trick was to follow a trail heading upwards in the northwesterly direction from Svartatjørna and when this flattened out follow a trail heading south.

I followed this trail towards the summit, but at one point the trail started descending. I then took a hard right (i.e. west) until reconnecting with what was likely a missed exit of the previous trail, which I could then easily follow all the way to the summit of Svartaberget.

Given the bad weather and the low-hanging clouds, the views from the summit were limited, but are probably much better with nicer conditions. From the summit I followed a steep, and on this day very slippery, trail down to Ravnestølen, and then the road back to Bjørndalsbakken for the bus back to the city center.
