Sunday hike in familiar terrain that included a first visit of Fyllingsnipa . There was a trail all the way to the summit which itself provided excellent views and a great location for my lunch break. Note that I had Fyllingsnipa all to myself, while Viggohytten seemed to be the goal for most other hikers and thus looked pretty busy. Just shows that one does not have to stray very far from the main trails in order to not have to compete for the best views.

The search for Fjeldborg at Landåsfjellet continues...

Characteristic:
Hillwalk

Distance:
11.9km

After failing to locate Fjeldborg two days earlier , I decided to have another go, if only to check a couple of areas I had not covered on my previous attempt. Today I mainly focused on the area southeast of Landåsfjellet , but sadly no luck there either. I'm starting to realize that this task is perhaps the hiking-equivalent of looking for a needle in a haystack... Update: It later turned out that I had visited the location of Fjeldborg without realizing it as part of my initial search. See knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's report from May 12th 2021 .

Searching for Fjeldborg at Landåsfjellet

Distance:
12.1km

I had initially given up on trying to find Fjeldborg at Landåsfjellet due to very limited information regarding its location. But after reading knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's recent trip report where he mentioned the characteristic rocks behind the cabin that are prominent in both pictures in Bergensernes Fjellverden II (BF II) (also included in Knut Sverre's report), I decided to give it a go anyway. Old aerial photographs did not provide any clues this time around, i.e. I had to depend on visiting potential locations and hope for the best. It has been suggested that Fjeldborg was most likely located close to Fjelly and Stulihaugen . I still decided to expand my search and thus started looking for possible locations already when approaching Orrehaugane . When getting closer to Stulihaugen, I shortly thought I had found what I was looking for just north of the small >>>
