Storhøyen, Tveitaneset and Kvamsvågen

On our way home from the hike to Orrnipa, I made a quick stop at Storhøyen which could be easily reached via first a tractor road up from Skarsvegen and then a short off-trail ascent to the summit. The summit provided nice views across the fjord to the southwest and even included the remains of an old trig marker. I continued a bit further along the trail/tractor road towards Tveitaneset but this did not result in a major difference with regards to the views. After this minor detour, I followed a trail down to what was left of an old house down by the sea, before finally following the same trail to Kvamsvågen, from where a gravel road could be followed back to the main road.
