Turøyvarden

The hike stared from the bus stop at Knappen. From there we followed Toftøyvegen south and later Turøyvegen west, until reaching the trail to Turøyvarden. After only a couple of minutes along the trail we arrived at the impressively large cairn, for very nice views in all directions.

Jurfedthaugen

We then doubled back until finding the trail towards Jurfedthaugen, which we followed all the way to the summit. Also here the views were very nice, particularly towards the west. We then continued north along the trail until reaching Bølgekraftvegen, which we followed east to Toftøyvegen, before finally arriving back where we started.
