Solvornnipa from Barsnesfjorden

Started from the private parking lot at the end of the gravel road on the south side of Barsnesfjorden. Followed the marked trail via Dal and Helgasete all the way to Solvornnipa. The trail was overall easy to follow and most of the snow was gone, except for 3-4 short stretches close to the summit. A slight haze made for slightly reduced views. After a quick lunch at the summit, I returned via the same route.

Note that the road to where the trail starts is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.
