Trip Summary

We parked on the parking place at Korsnesvegen (where the forest road norwards into Hagadalen departs). From there, we first followed the forest road northwards (for about 800m), before we found a well-marked path on the left. We followed this path, first westwards, before we then ascended to Veten in a larger turn (first northwards, then northeast). Right before reaching the top, it pays off to go a few steps to the left, westwards -- from there, one enjoyes a great view over Korsfjorden! From the top of Veten, the view over Fanafjorden is really great! We continued on the path that we had taken upwards, then downwards and back to the forest road (this part of this path is less clear, but still relatively easy to find). Back on the forest road, we continued northwards on it, down to Selvågen. There we continued the few steps that take one to Rasmusvika, west of Selvågen. In Rasmusvika, in pleasant evening light, we could not resist and refreshed us with a short dip into Fanafjorden. :-) We then returned to our car, following the forest road. Between the point, where we had rejoined the forest path before, and then the point, where we had left it in the beginning, still many big trees lie fallen across the road -- one has to crawl underneath them, or over them, or even surround them, where possible. All in all, Korsneset is really worth a visit -- even though the tops are not high, the views are great and the nature is nice, too!
