After the trip to Orrsåta, I cycled the short distance from Holsbergstien to the unmarked trailhead for Hoplandsfjellet. Here I again left my bike behind and continued on foot towards the summit.

Note that I had to get pretty close to actually see the trail, even though it starts more or less where the tractor road ended. But the trail soon became much clearer and there were no issues following it all the way to the summit.

The summit provided an almost new bench where I could enjoy both the views and my lunch. By moving slightly away from the bench, I could also get good views towards Hoplandseggena and back towards Orrsåta. I considered continuing east in order to complete the short roundtrip indicated in Kjell's trip report, but ended up simply returning to my bike to the northwest.

Overall, a nice short hike along a good trail and with excellent views from the summit.
