Sunday cycling trip with the objective of visiting Solbakkefjellet NØ, a recently added minor peak that I had passed close by before but not actually visited. My initial plan had been to cycle via Hauglandsdalen and ascend from Frotveit, but this route was blocked, twice, by a field of grazing horses. I could probably have made my way to the northern trailhead anyway, but I decided to instead head to the alternative trailhead further south.

This turned out to be mistake as the gravel roads on the west side of Solbakkefjellet are clearly better suited for horseback riding than cycling, resulting in anything but a comfortable ride. But I finally left the bike behind north of the alternative trailhead and from there continued on foot to the large cairn at Solbakkefjellet, enjoying the excellent views along the way. Just before getting to the cairn, I also came across a new shelter finished in the spring of 2021 called Petersplassen.

From the summit of Solbakkefjellet, I continued northeast for about 1 km until finally reaching the highest point at Solbakkefjellet NØ, a distance I had completely forgotten about when making the poor choice of skipping the planned trailhead from Frotveit... I returned along the same route to my bike at the gravel road, for the long ride home.
