Storhovden, Midtfjellet and Rundemanen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:54h
Distance:
20.0km

Started by talking the bus to Flaktveitrinden and walking to Søre Hjortland. There I followed a nice gravel road to the end, where I located two trails I assumed were both heading towards the top of Storehovden. I ended up taking the left one (see picture), and followed it almost all the way to the top, only taking a shortcut at the very end. There was practically no view at the top (something that was going to be a theme for the day, more on that later), but I'd still recommend a visit as the gravel road leading up to the trail was quite nice and it's an easy peak to get to. From the top of Storehovden, I followed a trail going southeast, hoping it would return me back to where I started the accent, which turned out to be correct. In other words, both of the potential trails located at the >>>

Straumsfjellet and Storhovden

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:19h
Distance:
7.9km

Short Saturday hike to cover two smaller peaks I had not yet visited. Started by talking the bus to Bjørndalsbakken and from there walking up Bjørgeveien. I then located the trail to Straumsfjellet and easily made it to the top. Decent views for such a small peak. From the top of Straumsfjellet I continued south to Bjørndalsskogen and then down to Bjørndalsvatnet. After reaching the northern end of Bjørndalsvatnet I followed the marked trail towards Krokatjørna, but after a while started looking for trails going in the direction of Storhovden. Did not find any clear trails, but found something I thought would take me in the direction of the top and tried to followed this one. The trail almost disappeared a couple of times (see picture), but also connected to/crossed other more easily visible >>>

Blåmanen from Kobbeltveit

Date:
05.04.2017
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:32h
Distance:
14.4km

Started by taking the bus to Årstadveien and from there walking along Svartediket. A bit less than halfway up the road to Tarlebøvatnet, at Kobbeltveit, I followed the signs towards Blåmanen. This started out as a forrest road, but at the end turned into a steep trail. The trail took me almost all the way to the eastern top of Blåmanen, but I failed to find a trail taking me to the peak itself and ended up just trying to take the shortest path through the terrain. There are therefore probably easier ways to get to the top than the one I used. From the top I walked towards Rundemanen and quickly found a trail that I followed all the way until where Blåmanen meets Rundemanen, and then down to Brushytten and onwards to Munkebotn.
