Walked from the city center to Kalfaret, from where I followed a (for me) new route up to Starefossen and onward to Søre Kamveien. Before Søre Kamveien connected with the main road toward Fløyen, I took the trail northeast via Heimtun to Fjellhytten. Continued north, but turned east before reaching the gravel road, instead following the old trail/road south, and later east, of the gravel road toward Blåmanen.

This path is clearly not very heavily used anymore, but it could be followed without much difficulty. On the way I also made a quick stop at Lørdagsknausen, which to my surprise included the remains of a small shelter. I assume this small hill, with its great views, was more frequently visited when the old trail was still in use.

Shortly after reconnecting with the main trail, I also made a quick visit of Blåmanen SØ, which could be easily ascended from the north, and provided nice views. Just as I was descending from Blåmanen SØ it started raining. I therefore skipped the planned visit to Rundemanen, and instead returned along the gravel road to Brushytten. The hike was then concluded by walking along the roads all the way to Lønborg.
