Trip Summary

The weather forecast was not too good and also there were other things to do, so the decision was to do something near and quick. We drove south through Ytrebygda, crossing Flyplassvegen to continue further south, towards Milde, following road #573. Coming closer, one follows the signs to Arboretet i Milde. We parked near a Kindergarden along Mildevegen and started our walk in northeastern direction. Once in the green, we turned right and towards Nepegjerdhaugen, which is the highest "top" on the island. Then, we turned back into the forest and headed towards Arboretet. We then walked southwards along a nice trail on the western side of Arboretet. At Naustdalen, we turned right (and towards the school there). With a bit of left and right, we then ended up on Lysthushaugen (a nice little hill). From there, we connected back to the Kindergarden. After completing round #1 (on the east side of Mildevegen), we then started round #2 (on the west side). We first walked southwards along Mildevegen until we turned right and onto Litle Milde. Passing by Kongshaugen, we continued along Litle Milde until the end of the road. There, we continued through the forest and "ascended" to Varden shortly after. From there, we then returned to our car walking first in northeastern direction (towards Grendatunvegen). Once there, we turned right (parallel to Mildevegen) and completed the (short) round. Even though this walk was rather short, we still came by a few nice places (Arboretet, Litle Milde, etc.) and enjoyed to get some fresh air! :-)
