Tverrfjellet
After our visit of Skorpo, we wanted to have a go at one more peak before heading back to Bergen and decided on Tverrfjellet in Omvikdalen. (To be more precise, we decided on the lower peak with that name on the eastern side of Omvikdalen, as there is also a higher peak with the same name on the other side. Not a lot of points for creativity when naming mountains in this area in other words...)
We parked at a small parking lot at the trailhead and from there followed a gravel road up to Aterstadvatnet. Here we had to cross the river to continue on the marked trail to the summit. There were several steppingstones that made the crossing straightforward, however avoiding wet shoes was not really an option.
Kjell here decided to turn back and returned to his car, while Petter and I started on the initially relatively steep ascent to the summit, first heading south/southwest before then turning north and following the ridge to the summit cairn. Note that the best views are obtained just north of the summit. So be sure to continue this short extra distance for some excellent views into Omvikdalen. From the summit we returned the same way back to the car.
In summary, a great hike along a marked trail with excellent views.
Takk for turen, Petter og Kjell!
