Orretua

Local Sunday hike across Orretua to look for a trig marker north of the summit that knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) had detected as part of his search for such markers all over Bergen. The marker was located less than 50 meters from the trail, could be reached without any real issues and provided excellent views. After a quick visit to the summit of Orretua, I descended via Ravneberg and also included a revisit of the recently renovated Birkelid. On my last visit this cabin had been in a sorry state, but now it looked almost brand new!
