Endre picked me up at my place shortly after 07:00 and together we drove to Voss and Bordalen where we parked at Nyestølen p-plass.

The original plan had been to continue all the way to Kulset, but due to a locked gate at the start of the gravel road, we had to do the extra 200 vertical meters on foot. This was however straightforward and it did not take long before we could begin on the marked trail to Horgaholet. Here we left the trail and continued off-trail to the top of Eggjane. Excellent panoramic views from the summit, however a strong cold wind resulted in short stay before returning the same way. In summary, a nice hike, largely along a marked trail, which can be highly recommended.

Back in the car, we drove the short distance southeast to Øyaset to ascend Herdabreida and Kistenuten.
