Trip Summary

We decided to combine biking and hiking, heading to Fanafjellet with our bikes. Leaving our bikes behind at Fanasæter, we then hiked the one round on Fanafjellet, which includes Høgeåsen and Lyseskarfjellet (Linken), returning via Ramberget to Fanasæter. On our way back, we then included a short detour via Fanahammeren, before then cycling around Hordnesskogen. From Grimseidvegen, we then crossed through Skageskogen to get to Øvre Birkeland. From there, it was then along Ytrebygdsvegen back. Nice to comine biking and hiking on such a nice day! :-)
