Trip Summary

We had agreed to make a short hike together, from Nattlandsfjellet to Nubbevatnet. To get there, we took our bikes, first along Nordåsvatnet, then via Paradis up to Nattlandsfjellet. From the parking strip south of Sveane, we then hiked up (via Sveane) and over the long ridge into the direction of Orrehaugane, before then crossing over to Nubbevatnet. At Baunehytten, on the north end of Nubbevatnet, we then enjoyed a nice little break. After enjoying the sun a little, we then walked back towards Ramsdalen and Nattlandsfjellet, following the main route (gravel road southwards, also connecting to Helgeseter). Once back at the parking at Nordre Nattlandsfjellet, we learned that the keys to unlock two of our bike locks weren't with us as expected. After a bit of searching, we thought that they likely were still up at Baunehytten. We thus "put in the reverse" and hiked back up to Baunehytten (the same way up that we just had come down). At Baunehytten, it took us one minute to find the keys. Since we already were in reverse mode, we continued our back-tracking to descend back to Nattlandsfjellet (for the second time) via Orrehaugane and the long ridge down to Sveane. This route indeed offers lots of nice views! :-) Once down to Nattlandsfjellet, we unlocked our bikes, yes, and then biked back home. All in all, a well used nice spring day! :-)
