Roundtrip: Frøland to Austre Stemmefjellsnakken (and more)

Dato:

I started by taking the bus to Frøland and from there walking up the road to Holmane parkering , from where I followed the tractor road (north and then) south. My plan had been to follow the tractor road until it ended, but when coming across a red arrow on the west side of the road just before the road was about to end, I took a chance that perhaps this would provide a trail that could take me to Burlifjellet and left the road behind. The weakness of the trail should have been a hint though, and the trail soon disappeared completely. And although it seemed to reappear from time to time, I'm guessing these were just animal tracks. I therefore gave up on the trail and instead started to make my own way in the direction of Burlifjellet, deciding to include a visit of Ullandsfjellet on the way. Ullandsfjellet was reached without any real >>>

I arrived by bike after my earlier visit of Kongshaug , and easily located the tractor road marking the trailhead for Hovda . After leaving the bike behind at the start of the tractor road, as it was too wet and the grass too high to get any benefit out of cycling, I followed the tractor road until passing the steepest areas between me and the summit. I then ditched the tractor road and found my own more direct route towards the summit, partly following various deer tracks. The ascent included its own short obstacle course with lots of fallen trees that I had to find my way over/under, but the terrain opened up at around 300 meters and from there to the summit it was straightforward to make progress. I also spotted two deer, or maybe the same deer on two different locations on my way upwards. Before heading to the summit itself, >>>

Upon finally arriving at the trailhead for Kongshaug , I quickly found a place to leave my bike and followed the tractor road upwards until it ended at a picnic area with excellent views. At first I did not see any trails continuing from that point, but I soon happened upon a weak trail marked with white plastic ribbons. And although it was not exactly going towards the summit, I assumed it had its reasons, and decided to follow it anyway. It quickly became apparent that this trail was indeed not heading towards the summit, but rather to a viewpoint to the south. By this time I was pretty close anyway, so I stuck with the trail until it came to an end at a visitor register . Interestingly the visitor register was incorrectly marked with 229 meters, but the actual height was more like 209 meters. Still worth a visit if in the area though, as the views >>>

We parked at Kvitingen p-plass and, after paying the 50 kr parking fee, followed the gravel road in the direction of Dukabotnen. The trail started where the gravel road ended (but we got impatient and made a shortcut to skip the last bend of the road) and could easily be followed all the way to Nedsta Dukavatnet, including a bridge that made the river-crossing straightforward. From Nedsta Dukavatnet I made a quick detour on my own to the summit of Hjellafjellet , which provided excellent views, including back down to Kvitingsvatnet, before returning along the same route. After a short lunch break, we started the initially steep ascent towards Trollskarnuten/Trollskardtiden . The later steep section could easily be avoided, although we did one steep shortcut in order to avoid a longer detour in the snow. The remains of the trig marker at Trollskarnuten was thus easily >>>

We intially tried to follow in Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's footsteps and start from Soltveit, but failed to find parking and instead had to start from the north. Our route followed various marked trails and tractor roads and resulted in a nice roundtrip with visits of Vetåsveten , Hestefjellet , Peparen and Vettåsfjellet .

Only a short local hike this Saturday as I had signed up for a hike across Daurmålsegga organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association the day after. A hike that was sadly canceled Saturday morning due to poor weather forecasts, but by then it was too late to change my plans.

After the very easy access to Blåbærhaugen , i.e. gravel road all the way to the summit, I had to take a moment to think about why I also had an urge to visit Vetlefjell . A summit that from the earlier trip reports was pretty much the exact opposite. Well, at least it was only a bit more than 300 meters from the gravel road to the summit. No trails as far as I could tell, but there were the occasional deer track that could be followed. The summit was shortly reached without any real difficulties and actually provided much better views than expected. Nothing compared to the views from Hovlandsnuten earlier in the day of course, but just north of the summit the views to the north and the northeast where quite ok, and just south of the summit one had a good view down to Skorpo and could even spot Kattnakken in the distance. From the summit, >>>

After my visits of Hovlandsnuten and Etlådnefjellet , and the excellent views from the bike ride along Onarheimsfjorden , I arrived at the tractor road marking the trailhead for Barmehovda expecting a short but perhaps not very interesting hike. Leaving the bike behind, the tractor road made for an easy ascent to the antenna which used to be the highest point. However, after Runemb (Rune Blomberg) 's visit last year the summit had been moved about 100 meters west. The terrain from the tractor road to the new summit was not the most inviting, but thankfully I soon found a deer track that I could more or less follow all the way to the summit. Limited views from the summit, similar to the ones from the antenna, but at least some views to the south could be obtained through the trees. From the summit, I followed the same route back to the tractor road which I then followed back to the main road. While far from the worst summit I've visited, and >>>

Upon arriving at Skaret , I left my bike behind and followed the rough tractor road up to Vasstøltjørna. From there I followed the marked steep trail up Sandlopeskardet, taking me all the way to Hovlandsnuten , which offered the kind of views one often sees in guidebooks trying to attract tourists to visit Norway! In other words: spectacular! I could have enjoyed the views for the rest of the day, but I had other summits to visit and a ferry to catch. After a lunch break, I therefore continued to Etlådnefjellet , first along a trail, but it soon disappeared, and I ended up making my own way, visiting both the eastern 732 hill and the southern 737 hill, before finally heading to the summit itself. On most other hikes, the views from Etlådnefjellet would have been a highlight, but when compared to the spectacular views from Hovlandsnuten >>>
