© Harald Barsnes I started by taking the train to Dale and from there the bus to Eidslandet where I got off at Olavika at the start of Mystervegen. After passing the last house in Mystervegen I passed through a gate, and later on a second gate, and continued on a tractor road that soon turned into a marked trail that lead me up to Leiro . Here I had hoped to locate a trail towards Storfjellet but only found weak animal tracks and before long I was simply aiming for Storfjellet and heading off-trail in that direction. Thankfully the terrain was easy to navigate and I arrived at the summit without any issues. Excellent views back down towards Myster and Eidslandet from just west of the highest point. Due to lots of flies I however did not stay long before turning my attention to the real goal of the day: Mysterfjell . Not sure where the name >>>

© Harald Barsnes I had initially planned to simply take the bus to Torget and follow Fjellveien home, but when I happened to meet lots of family members on my dad's side at Skansen I quickly decided to join them on their hike to Brushytten and Fløyen instead before finally taking the bus home from Bryggen.

Cycling: Svartavassrinden

Distanse:

© Harald Barsnes Due to a weather forecast with potential rain showers in the afternoon, I opted for a cycling trip to visit Svartavassrinden . I had passed by this minor peak several times but never been to the summit. After 33 km on the bike, I left it at the end of the gravel road and completed the final short off-trail distance to the summit on foot. I returned the same way for a late lunch break back at the end of the gravel road. The trip was then concluded by cycling the same route to Lønborg, where I made it home just before it started raining.

© Harald Barsnes At the end of the first day of a conference at Holmen Fjordhotell there was a long break before dinner which of course had to be used for a short hike. Another colleague of mine had the same idea and together we made a short walk via Syverstadbråten and Hvalstrand . Syverstadbråten had lots of nice paths in between the trees but the summit itself was more of a summit area and did not provide any views. There were however a couple of old ski jumping hills nearby that made it a bit more interesting.
