Erstadfjellet, Brakabu and Brakvatnet
A return to Erstadfjellet with the main objective of also visiting Brakabu, as it had not yet been built at my previous visit in 2017. I could pretty much follow signs for Brakabu all the way from the ferry at Valestrand, first along paved roads and then on an overall good-quality trail to the summit of Erstadfjellet. Brakabu was quickly visited on the descent, before taking an alternative route down to Erstad and Brakvatnet. Even though this was just a transportation stage to get to the ferry, the winding gravel road and the nice lake made for a very enjoyable end to the hike.
