Bygdaåsen

After our hike to Veten and Sandvikehorga, petter (Petter Bjørstad) and I drove the short distance to Glebakka where we were the only car at the large parking lot. There was a hiking information sign next to the parking lot, but it only indicated a trip to Barlinda, which is apparently the largest tree of its kind in Northern Europe. We however ignored this suggested route and instead headed off-trail along the ridge to Bygdaåsen in the opposite direction. The terrain was easier to traverse than expected and there were lots of deer tracks showing the way. In order to avoid two surprisingly deep gorges north of the summit, we ended up following the ridge west of the summit before turning southeast for the final ascent. Limited views due to lots of trees and while the summit can be reached without any real issues it is clearly more of an acquired taste and not the kind of peak most hikers will feel much need to visit.
