Trip Summary

On a day with mixed weather, we made a short hike to Purkeneset north of Eide on Sotra. We parked near the road and crossed first Varden and Kyrkjehaugen before connecting to the trail that leads out to Purkeneset. From the top of Purkeneset we enjoyed some nice view across Kørelen, i.e., the rather big lake in the west of Hammarsland. After walking back along the same trail, we included a short excursion to Hopen in the north of Spilda. From there, we just walked back to Eide and called it a day.
