Ramboghøyen and Rambua
A return to Øygarden for a visit of the recently opened Rambua (officially opened January 14th). Started from the bus stop called "Blomvåg terminal" and planned to follow the suggested roundtrip from ut.no. I however missed the sign for the trailhead and continued further south than necessary. When the road later forked I also picked the wrong option (Fagerdalsvegen instead of Knarrvikvegen). In my defense the map indicated a trail at the end of both of these roads (and none from Stølemyrvegen where the real trailhead was located). But I shortly connected with the proper marked trail which I then proceeded to follow all the way to Ramboghøyen and Rambua.
After briefly enjoying the excellent views, I continued south via Planteskogen before returning northeast. This time trying Knarrvikvegen, which towards the end consisted of a gravel-covered trail and thus a step up from the earlier weak trail starting from the end of Fagerdalsvegen. Only on my way back to the bus stop did I spot the sign for dagsturhytta at the start of Stølemyrvegen. I do not think it would have made much of a difference though, as even the parts of the marked trail that I did follow were overall rather wet and muddy. To summarize, a nice short hike with excellent views along the way.
