Melshovden
Started by taking the bus (or rather buses, including a quick visit to Fureberget) to Sørkvingo where I easily located the marked trailhead for Melshovden. The trail itself was not marked as far as I could tell, but it was straightforward to follow, although a bit slippery at times, predominantly consisting of wet rocky surfaces. Most of my ascent was out of the wind, but as I got closer to the summit the wind started to pick up and the large cairn came in handy as a shelter. Excellent views from the summit, clearly worth the long bus ride! After numerous pictures I started my descent, making it to the bus stop at Sørkvingo with 10-15 minutes to spare. In summary, a very nice short hike that can be highly recommended!
