Started by taking the bus to Stegavika and from there walking north along the road until turning east at Norlavatnet. We were now on Nordsjøløypa, which could easily be followed all the way to the summit of Anekletten. Anekletten provided excellent views, especially given that we were only 60 meters above sea level.

From the summit we continued west to the main road and then south along Toftevågen, and finally west towards the remains of the old wave power plant at Kalvøyna. Here we had a quick lunch break before taking a closer look at what was left of the power plant. Next, we headed south for a quick visit to Jurfedthaugen.

Upon reaching the road we followed it shortly northeast, before heading north, and later west, along the marked trail to Vikåsen. Also here the views were very nice, despite being even lower than Anekletten. The hike was then concluded by returning to the bus stop at Stegavika.

Overall, a very nice hike with great views that can be highly recommended.
