Trip Summary

To get a bit of fresh air in the evening, we decided to explore Høvik in Eksingedalen. After first walking along the few roads in Høvik, we started a short ascent to Svedgjeli in northeasern direction (below Åsen), following a stretch of old Reitlevegen through Eksingedalen. From there, we then had some nice overview of Høvik. When walking back, we also explored the wide bend of the Ekso river (in the south of Høvik) that probably is responsible for the suffix of name Høvik.
