Trip Summary

We started right next to Sangoltvatnet and quickly found a path that led us up to Sangoltshornet. This really is no difficult, nor demanding hike. Still, one can enjoy nice views, for example, over Raunefjorden. From Sangoltshornet, we then continued -- without path, mostly -- in a south-easterly direction, passing over three, four additional, minor heights. Eventually, we decended -- also without any path (not 100% recommended) in direction NE (basically towards Sangoltvatnet). Once back down, however, we completed a slightly larger round, including a place near the coast with name Sangolthella / Helleskaget. All in all, the hike was refreshing in nice winter weather! :-)
