Styggmann from Ivarsbu

After spending the night at Ivarsbu we started out along the trails to Styggmann. Overall the trails where easy to follow. The only exception was in the area around Store Kongstjern where we ended up losing the trail for a short time. Just before reaching our main goal, we also made a short off-trail detour to visit the oddly shaped Rønseterfjellet. After reconnecting with the trail we continued to Styggmann where we had a brief lunch before starting our descent, choosing the alternative southern trail in order to make it into more of a roundtrip. Overall a nice hike that felt slightly longer than expected. Perhaps due to the large stretches inside the forest with limited views.
