Stora Stokkfjellet and Fjærhovda
Short hike at Drange to visit two small peaks Stora Stokkfjellet and Fjærhovda, both on the Os ≥ 50m pf. list.
Stora Stokkfjellet
Started by taking the bus to Drange (bus stop called "Drange handel") and from there followed the directions from Kjell's recent visit to Stora Stokkfjellet, which also was the first registered visit on PB. This made it straightforward to locate the trailhead, and I shortly arrived at the summit. Although I was a bit uncertain which of the 3-4 potential summits that were the highest point, hence I visited all of them.
All of the potential summits provided nice views, but the best views were obtained from the small cabin located in the westernmost point of the plateau, with excellent views towards both Krokeide and west towards the sea. From the summit I followed more or less the same trails back down to the main road.
Fjærhovda
The next goal was Fjærhovda, a peak with no registered visits on PB. Started walking northeast along the main road, with the plan to ascend along the ridge from the north. No trails that I could find, but lots of deer tracks that made it relatively easy to make progress towards the summit. The forest was also far from as dense as I had feared, so while one had to look out for pointy branches, these did not really hinder the ascent.
As for Stora Stokkafjellet it was not very clear where was the highest point was located. All the trees did not help either. There is however a trig marker in the area marked with 139.9 on the map, so I decided to move the summit to this location (the old one was clearly wrong). I decided to continue south along the top, hoping for a better view than from the summit itself, and to my surprise there was even a visitor register located there. The views were also much better, though far more limited than from Stora Stokkafjellet.
I assume that the visitor register indicates that there is most likely an alternative route to this location, but I did not have the time to explore this option as I had to get back to the main road to catch the bus. Followed pretty much the same route back to the main road, which I then followed east until the bus stop at Bjoarvika, from where I took the bus back to Bergen.
Conclusion
This hike was kind of a mixed bag. Stora Stokkfjellet being the positive element, with nice trails (even though the first part felt a bit like walking through someone's yard) and excellent views. Fjærhovda was much better than expected, but I do not think I'll be coming back. But if you do visit Fjærhovda, be sure to also go to where the visitor register is located, so that you a least get some views in return for your efforts.
