Kaupangsholtane
The marked trail started from Haukåsvegen soon after leaving Kaupanger, and we first followed this trail/forest road to Kaupangsholten. Note that this is not the highest point of Kaupangsholtane, but it did provide a very nice view towards the south and seems to be where most people visit.
We then followed the trail west to another viewpoint towards the south, before taking the mandatory visit to the highest point. The summit itself was filled with small pine trees and provided no views. The same was true for the slightly lower hill to the northwest, although here the forest was not as dense. From the summit, we followed trails and forest roads back to where we started the hike.
All in all, a nice and easy hike, along easy to follow trails and forest roads.
