Lauvåsen from Lønborg

After Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden)'s recent "discovery" of Lauvåsen, I of course had to make a visit. I started by walking along the roads from Lønborg to the unmarked trailhead right next to Vinddalsveien P-lomme. The trail was initially a bit weak, but soon it was easy enough to follow. I think I missed an exit somewhere though, as the trail I was on did not head towards the summit. I therefore made an off-trail shortcut and soon reconnected with a trail that took me all the way to the summit, which provided nice views, especially west across Jordalsvatnet and Eidsvåg.

From the summit, I continued along the trail to the overhead power line to the south, where there was an excellent overview of Jordalen. Here I noticed that the trail continued east, and I saw an opportunity for an alternative route back to the road. Shortly I reached an old stone wall, which the trail proceeded to follow. (There also seemed to be a potential route down to Jordal.) After reaching the road, the hike was concluded by following the roads back to Lønborg.
