Trip Summary

Let's get some fresh air in the nice weather -- even if there isn't much time! :-) On my bicycle and off towards the west! :-) In Loddefjord, I turned left (and southwards) and passed by Håkonsvern. Right afterwards and shortly before Mathopen, I turned right and started my short but (very) steep ascent to Store Kongshaugen -- what a name for a comparably small hill! :-) Even though not very high, one still can enjoy great views in all directions from its top. I returned down on the same steep and old road, before then continuing via Mathopen and Hilleren towards Alvøpollen. I followed the road around Småvatnet to the sports arena of Alvøen. There I found the connection to the path that stretches along Storavatnet. From this path, I made a short detour up Harafjellet (also a rather small, but still somewhat nice hill). Back to my bike, I continued my round and returned to Loddefjord from there. All in all, a short but nice round in refreshing weather! :-)
