Hokøy Nordtoppen
After the visit of Storgjelsknausen, I was picked up and transported to Liabakken for the ascent to Hokøy Nordtoppen.
Briefly borrowing the private dock made it straightforward to get ashore, from where I followed the road up to the three farm buildings indicated on the map. I did not see any people today, but there was clear evidence of recent activity and several sheep.
Just northwest of the three buildings I found a weak trail that soon turned less weak and even included what looked like old man-made steps. By following this trail I quickly arrived at the summit marked by a small antenna making an annoying high-pitched noise.
I therefore did not stay long before starting my descent, only making a quick detour to the southern tip of the summit area to check out the views from there as well.
Overall, a short easy hike, taking me less than half an hour from start to finish.
