When the rain showers finally stopped (or so I thought), I went for a hike in Fyllingsdalen to visit three small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by walking south from the bus stop outside Løvstakktunnelen to Barliveien, where I located a trail/deer track taking me to the summit of Skjenhaugane. After returning along the same route, I continued to Lauvåsen, which only required a very short detour from the paved shortcut south of the summit, and there was even a path for this final part as well. Much better views than from Skjenhaugane and there was no feeling of trespassing (which can often be the case for these hills in between houses).

I continued north where I located an unmarked trail that seemed to be heading in the direction of Eikhaugen. The trail however soon turned north instead, but I stayed on the trail for a while longer before finally heading off trail towards Eikhaugen, making a stop at the ruins of Kveldsro on the way. Just before the summit, I also passed by the ruins of Småhytten. As expected, the views from this summit were rather limited as well. Before returning to the bus stop outside Løvstakktunnelen, I also came across a couple of additional ruins in the area. However, at this point it started raining quite heavily, hence I did not explore them in much detail.
