Trip Summary

We parked at the parking place at Korsneset, right where the (narrow) road enters a military area. From there, we first followed a forest road northwards, before turning to the right, where there seemed to be a path. The eastwards path passed north of Moldstigahaugen, descending again on the other, eastern side of this hill. We decided to ascend to the top of Moldstigahaugen (from the eastern side). Afterwards, we followed a (rather less than more visible) path northwards towards Leirvågfjellet. The view from this top is quite nice in all directions! We continued further northwards, finding a possibility to descend down to the saddle between Leirvågfjellet and Kampen. From there we followed a reasonably well visible path towards the north-northwest (below the steep western slope of Kampen) and eventually joined the forest road (connecting to the parking place), again. Before eventually returning to the car, we first went down to Rasmusvika, a nice little bay, opening to Fanafjorden. For a few moments only, we also sampled the water and found it very refreshing! :-) At last, we returned along the forest road to the parking place. Our expectation was that this should be straight forward and easy. However, due to some stronger winds, recently, a larger number of large trees had been fallen over (and across the road) -- at one spot, it was simply impossible to continue and we had to find a detour through the forest around. Really wild!
