Trip Summary

With a somewhat unclear weather forecast, we aimed at something gentle, not too far up. Driving along E16 (into the direction of Voss), we left the main road a little southwest of Vinje, contiuning for bit into the direction of Hommedalen. Driving up Holbygdvegen to about 250mosl, we found a suitable place near Brattholo to park right next to the road. From there, we started walking along a minor road that winds up towards the eastern flank of Hagahovden. A little over 300mosl then, we left the road (basically where it ends) and continued along a trail that continues further upwards. At about 335mosl, we briefly explored a flag post with some view, before soon returning to the trail and following further upwards. At about 500mosl we then arrived at a nice shelter at Hovdane, enjoying a little break there. Before later turning back in a round via Arnetveit and Holbygdvegen, we first enjoyed an excursion via some very nice heights in northwestern direction from Hovdane -- really nice up there! :-)
