I started from the last bus stop at Flaktveit and from there followed the trail on the eastern side of Kråvatnet. After crossing the bridge near the southern end of the lake, I continued south on a trail that soon disappeared underneath the snow. I was therefore was happy when later connecting with the tractor road coming up from Kalsåsvatnet.

The tractor road turned into a trail that I followed until it started heading towards the gravel road west of Storhovden. Here I left the main trail and continued on a smaller trail through the old pine forest up to Hålihovden. Next up was Hjortlandsåsen/Furkammane, which only required a minor detour from the winding trail.

From Hjortlandsåsen, I turned south for a quick visit of Storhovden and then headed off-trail towards the final peak of the day: Hovdane. Here I had a short break just north of the summit and afterwards continued north to connect with the gravel road. The hike was finally concluded by walking along the roads to the bus stop at Flaktveitrinden.
