Time for another Saturday of hiking with Endre (Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen)), this time to four small peaks in the Stamnes area. First up: Sverrestuven. We parked at Sverrestuven p-lomme and made our own way towards the summit. No trails as far as we could tell, but some deer tracks. At first very steep, even requiring some light climbing for the first 100 meters from the road, but from there on reaching the summit was straightforward.

Surprisingly good views from the summit. Most notably down towards Gammersviki and the mountains to the east. But decent views both south and north could be obtained close to the highest point as well. From the summit we followed more or less the same route back down to the car, but I made a small detour at the end to see if there was anything left of the building indicated on the map. I did not find anything, but did not look to closely.

To conclude, I assume that Sverrestuven does not see many visitors, but for those willing to make the short climb it can be reached without much difficulty and one will be rewarded by better views than expected.
