Hellestveitåsen and Seberg
Before returning to Bergen (after our hike to Skrott and Geitafjellet), me and Endre (Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen)) decided to make a short detour to Hellestveitåsen, aiming to also reach the viewpoint at Seberg before it got too dark. An initial attempt to continue driving along the gravel road beyond Hellestveit Gard was quickly abandoned. We therefore parked next to the farm, hoping nobody would mind, and followed the gravel road towards the summit.
When the road ended, a trail took us up to a gate leading into a spruce forest. The forest was relatively dense and provided next to no views, but we had little trouble walking in between the trees. Locating the highest point was more challenging, as there were several similar options to choose from. After visiting all of the most likely candidates we returned to the gravel road, ready for some hopefully much better views at Seberg.
And indeed we were not disappointed! Even compared to the excellent views from Skrott earlier in the day, the views from Seberg were very nice. Clearly a must if taking the time to visit Hellestveitåsen!
