Kongshaugen i Samdalen

A long detour on the way home from work for a quick visit of Kongshaugen i Samdalen - yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I got off the bus at Samdal and from there briefly followed the road north in the direction of Bontveit before finding an opening in the barbed wire fence and could then easily complete the short remaining off-trail distance to the summit. The area seemed to be used for grazing animals, most likely horses(?), but thankfully I did not see any this evening. After a couple of pictures, I descended the same way and, given that I still had 35 minutes until the return bus, continued northeast to Hausdal for a closer look at a rather unstable bridge I had seen in an earlier trip report from Helwig. The bridge had not been repaired and to me it seemed safer to instead wade across the river just downstream of the bridge.
