Helldalsåsen

Date:
08.06.2017
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:49h
Distance:
1.7km

Started by taking the bus to "Helldal skule" and locating the start of the trail towards Helldalsåsen . The quality of the trail was quite good at the start and I quickly arrived at the small plateau south of the summit, just above the houses at Helldalsneset. Here the trail stopped, and I had to start making my own way towards the summit. The progress was at first rather slow, as it mainly consisted of going under/over/around trees that were crisscrossing the path, leftovers from both recent and older storms. This cleared up a bit after a while, but increased again when approaching the summit, which was actually the most difficult section to traverse. The summit provided limited views, but due to the power lines crossing over the summit there was at least a bit of open space. However, the trees >>>

Sveåsen and Lauvåsen from Kalandseidet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:37h
Distance:
12.0km

Started by taking the bus to Kalandseidet and walking west along Kismulvegen until Kismulstølen. Here I followed the road south until a crossroads where I took a right and then left, entering a very nice gravel road. At both of these crossroads there were hiking signs towards Tereleitet . I continued south towards Svartavatnet, where the road turned west and then north, and started looking for trails to Sveåsen . A sign with "Merket sti til Sveåsen" (i.e. "Marked trail to Sveåsen") soon appeared on my left-hand side, and I decided to follow this one. The trail started south on the east side of Sveåsen, before finally turning north and approaching Sveåsen from the south. Note that even though the trail was marked, it was of pretty low quality and very muddy at times, especially the section >>>

Duration:

Distance:
17.8km

From Espeland to Osavatnet Started by taking the bus to Espelandshallen and walking up Moldamyrane and later Gullfjellsvegen to Osavatnet. The distance was about 5 km and took around one hour, and even though this was merely a requirement to get to the start of the actual hike, it was nicer than expected and can be recommended as an alternative way of getting to Osavatnet if you do not have a car. Herdalsfjellet Next, I located the trail towards Herlandsfjellet . It starts close to the northern end of Osavatnet, right behind the red cabin on the left-hand side before arriving at the parking lot. The start of the trail was not marked, and a bit weak at the beginning, but due to the red cabin it is still very easy to locate. According to the map, the trail would only take me up to around 500 meters, but as expected >>>
