Trip Summary

With only a bit of time available, we headed for a short hike in the neighborhood. To include at least one spot of (limited) interest, we decided to aim for Lisahaugen near Langegården in the northeast of Kråkenes. We parked near the southern end of Løvstien (at Øvre Kråkenes) and ascended to Lerkhaugen, first. Thereafter, we crossed Løvstien and continued to Lisahaugen (from its south). Crossing Lisahaugen south-to-north, we came back to Løvstien (for a moment), before changing course, again, and then aiming at Langatjørna in the west of Mindebakken. This ascent from Løvstien is a bit steep, but well possible and actually quite nice through th forest there. North of Langatjørna we then turned around, heading back via Gullsteinen. South of Gullstølen, we descended along some minor trails through the forest until we stood right above the houses at Gullstølsstien. Staying within the forest in the north and east of these houses, we descended further towards Kråkenes and the car. To wrap up, it may help to add that focussed reading of the elevation profile of this hike is possibly needed to correctly identify hiking goals Lerkhaugen and Lisahaugen! :-)
