Godvikaskjenet and Storhaugen

Two small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list that I had put off visiting due to both basically being inside someone's backyard. Godvikaskjenet however turned out to be a positive surprise as the dense undergrowth I had expected to power through had been replaced by a gravel road! Hence there was only a very short off-trail section required before connecting with the weak trail along the ridge. This summit was therefore reached without any real issues.

Storhaugen was another matter. While it is perhaps technically possible to reach the summit without trespassing, it definitely did not feel that way, and I ended up stopping around 40 meters from the highest point. But I will still put it in the "been there, done that, definitely not coming back" category. It might be possible to ascend from the north instead but not without it looking rather suspicious as well.
