After the visits of Siggjo and Furufjellet, I cycled to Svortland where I easily located the gravel road referred to as "Lysløypa til Fet", which I then proceeded to follow, still on the bike, to the marked trailhead for Vardafjellet. Here I left the bike and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was easy to follow, with small wooden bridges across the wet areas and signs showing the way. I therefore quickly arrived at the summit, which provided excellent panoramic views, especially for such a modest peak of only 164 meters above sea level. From the summit I returned along the same route for the bike ride back to Rubbestadneset and the boat home to Bergen.
