Trip Summary

We somehow decided to go a round near Bergen and thus took the bus to Sandviken. After first walking up to Fjellveien, we continued along it to get to Permisjonsstien. This brought us up to Sandviksbatteriet, where we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden. Next on the agenda was to get over to Munkebotn, cross over the stream that runs out of Munkebotsvatnet towards the north, and take the trail up to cabin Ravneberg. This trail is actually quite steep (but nice and straight-forward to hike up), offering some nice views along it. Continuing along the trail, we then passed by (closed) Sandvikshytten, before heading further upwards into the direction of Kvitebjørnen. Instead of hiking all the way to the top of Kvitebjørnen, however, we then followed a lower trail that was supposed to bring us to Ankerhytten. Within not too long, we then arrived at Ankerhytten. From there, we took the trail to Storevatnet, which appeared with much less water than usual. Walking around Storevatnet, we then connected to Skredderdalen, which we hiked down to Mulen. At Dr. Wiesener, we enjoyed a nice little break, before rounding off our hike with a short visit to Sverresborg.
