Moldaneset and Moldaåsen from Solstrand

At the first return to Solstrand after the pandemic, I used the extended break before dinner to explore Moldaneset and Moldaåsen. Roads and trails were followed for the entire hike, except for the short off-trail detour to the summit of Moldaåsen. The first part of the hike even had a marked trail, although I misunderstood the signs and made an unnecessary detour instead of heading directly to the tip of Moldaneset. On my way to Moldaåsen, I also visited Salbuneset/Salbuvika (still following a trail), mainly to get at least some views, as I knew that these would be limited from the summit. This was indeed also the case, and while the summit could be reached without any issues, it is probably not a location that most hikers will feel the need to visit. I also went to the highest point at Gråberget (on the other side of the road from Moldaåsen), but the views were no better there either, before returning to Solstrand via the gravel road in Moldadalen. Overall, a nice short hike with excellent views along the way, just not from the summit(s).
