Started from Melkeplassen and from there followed the standard trail towards Damsgårdsfjellet, with a quick stop at Olsokfjellet on the way. From the summit I continued north to the trig marker at Damsgårdsfjellet, then west to Holafjellet, before ending the hike by following the trail north to Holen for the bus back to the city center. Nice views from Olsokfjellet and Damsgårdsfjellet. The views from the trig marker at Damsgårdsfjellet were also worth a visit. Holafjellet was less interesting, with limited views from the summit, but the trail from Holafjellet down to Holen was an interesting alternative descent with nice views along the way.
