Raudskredvarden and Rispingen

From the parking lot at Båtaleite we followed the marked trail towards Rispingen. The trail started out a bit wet, but soon greatly improved. At Raudskredvarden we enjoyed the excellent views towards Stanghelle, before continuing to Rispingen for a short lunch break.

Raudskredbruna

On the way back, we made a quick detour to Raudskredbruna, which provided nice views, but probably not essential for most hikers. No trails to Raudskredbruna as far as we could see, but the terrain was straightforward to traverse.

Olsnesnipa and Olsnessåta

After reconnecting with the trail, we followed it down towards the parking lot, until realizing that this was probably not necessary, and instead headed directly towards the trail to Olsnesnipa and Olsnessåta. In hindsight, we should probably have made this shortcut sooner.

We lost the trail briefly on our way to Olsnesnipa, but the direction was now pretty obvious anyway. After another short break at Olsnesnipa, we continued south to Olsnessåta for what was arguably the best views of the day.

All that remained was to find our way back to the car, via the trail down to the road and then walking around 200 meters back up to the parking lot. Overall an excellent hike that can be highly recommended.
