A return to Fedje with the main goal of visiting Aurihophytta, which I had not had time for during my first trip to the island back in 2021. Decided not to repeat the very long cycling trip this time around though and instead arrived by car, which we left at Sævrøy before getting on the ferry. Minor swells but overall a smooth journey.

At Fedje, we followed the roads southwest to the marked trailhead for Aurihophytta. Here we continued on a very nice gravel-covered trail. But just as we started discussing whether it perhaps would be this easy all the way to the cabin, the marked route left the gravel and instead led us along a relatively wet trail.

We passed via Såta and continued southeast to Aurihophytta. Here we had a short lunch break before heading south to the paved road close to Hellisøy fyr. All that remained was then walking along the road back to the ferry, including a quick stop at Fedjebjørnen (as it was more or less on the way), before concluding another great visit of Fedje.
