Trip Summary

In order to (a) make a visit to Nattlandsfjellet and (b) use some fine winter weather, we decided to walk to Nattlandsfjellet from Landås, starting with Sikksakken, i.e., a relatively steep but nice trail up to Landåsfjellet (from Landås). To find the trail-head, one needs to find a minor side-road of Landåslien (leading up to houses 45C and 45D). Once the trail-head is found, stepping up Sikksakken via Kampen is straight-forward, following a nice trail. At about 375mosl, one meets/crosses another trail that leads in north-south direction along the upper western "edge" of Landåsfjellet. Heading further eastwards, we crossed Ormhaugen and ended up at a major trail that extends north-to-south at the western side of Nubbevatnet. A little further south of Nubbevatnet, we connected to a gravel road at about 385mosl. Following this road down, we arrived at Nattlandsfjellet very soon. In order to get back to Landås, we decided to walk back up the ridge that leads towards Orrehaugane from Sveane. After crossing over Orrehaugane, we connected back to the top of Sikksakken, which we then hiked down to get back to Landås.
