Stangelifjellet - descending via Sofusstien
Took the bus to Ervik and followed Selvikveien until the trailhead for Setervatnet. My initial plan had been to walk around the dam and return the same way, but when ascending to Øst for Stangelifjellet I came across a trail I had not noticed before which apparently would take me down to Vinddalen. Upon reaching the summit of Øst for Stangelifjellet I therefore returned to the trail marked as Sofusstien, which turned out to be a trail marked with red paint, and although it was clear that the red paint was far from fresh, the trail itself was easy to follow.
Halfway down the trail there was also a visitor register with an explanation for the name of the trail. When the trail connected with the road I continued south to Stallane, before following the road on the south side of Jordalsvatnet on the way back to the main road.
At Tømmervågen I was rather bored of walking along the paved road, and therefore hopped on a bus when the opportunity presented itself, thus skipping the final stretch around Eidsvågneset.

Great find!
