At the end of the first day of a conference at Holmen Fjordhotell there was a long break before dinner which of course had to be used for a short hike. Another colleague of mine had the same idea and together we made a short walk via Syverstadbråten and Hvalstrand. Syverstadbråten had lots of nice paths in between the trees but the summit itself was more of a summit area and did not provide any views. There were however a couple of old ski jumping hills nearby that made it a bit more interesting.
