On a gray Sunday where the rain showers did their best to melt the recent snow and make all surfaces slippery, I once again turned to the Alle topper i Bergen list and decided on two minor hills just east of Sotrabroen.

First up was Alvehaugen which could be spotted immediately after getting off the bus. Getting to the summit however required a bit more work but could be fairly easily done via a short off-trail ascent from the north.

I descended the same way and headed the short distance south to Høyde ved Janaflaten. Here the ascent was easier than expected as most of the trees shown covering the summit in previous trip reports had been removed and it was now simply a matter of walking up to the highest point. While the removal of the trees had resulted in better views, it was still a rather uninteresting small hill.

The short hike was then concluded by returning to the bus stop for the bus back to the city center, only having to wait for a couple of minutes.
