Cycling: Kvernafossen

Cycling trip with the objective of exploring a possible trail to Nedstaheia, a small hill southeast of Haukheia in Arna. The unmarked trailhead south of the summit was easily located, and after leaving my bike behind, I continued on foot along the river/waterfall called Kvernafossen. The trail was partially hidden by the low vegetation, but easy to follow. Shortly I reached the tractor road south of Krokavatnet. Here I turned right and started searching for the trail to Nedstaheia. I think I found it in the end, but it was pretty much completely hidden by the tall grasses. After a short attempt at following the hidden trail, I therefore gave up and decided to rather return on a future hike, ideally not wearing shorts as today, especially given that I was also planning on including a visit to Haukheia. Back on the bike, I had a go at a shortcut west to Langedalen via Kvernaskaret, but when I got to a point where the road had pretty much been reclaimed by nature, I instead returned and followed the road via Espeland to Gaupås. In summary, it is clearly possible to ascend Nedstaheia via the route I started on, and who knows, maybe the trail is more visible at other times of the year?
