Cycling: Svartavassrinden
Due to a weather forecast with potential rain showers in the afternoon, I opted for a cycling trip to visit Svartavassrinden. I had passed by this minor peak several times but never been to the summit. After 33 km on the bike, I left it at the end of the gravel road and completed the final short off-trail distance to the summit on foot. I returned the same way for a late lunch break back at the end of the gravel road. The trip was then concluded by cycling the same route to Lønborg, where I made it home just before it started raining.

The height profile...
Written by HHauser 02.06.2024 22:19... of this trip really is deceiving! :-) As if Svartavassrinden would stand out like that. :-) But great to do a proper trip, even when the trip objective is not exactly a major mountain.
