Storehaugen and Storehaugfjellet
We parked at the small parking lot next to Flyplassvegen and followed the marked trail via Bjørkestølen, including a stop at Storehaugen on the way to Storehaugfjellet. Storehaugen provided spectacular views in all directions. Well worth a visit even though Storehaugfjellet is the slightly higher of the two.
After a break for lunch at Storehaugfjellet, it was decided to follow the gravel road southwest (and later east) down to the airport at Haukåsen and from there walk along the road back to the car. But while this did make the hike into a roundtrip, it cannot really be recommended, as it ends with a rather long and boring walk with limited views.
Probably better to either return the same way, or via the alternative route following the ridge back to the parking lot. An additional option would be to use two cars. Just make sure to not repeat the mistake of one family we talked to along the way: leaving the keys to both cars in the car left at the parking lot they were supposed to drive back to... ;)
