Helgheim and Grevbu via Hardbakkedalen (06.01.2019)

Helgheim and Grevbu via Hardbakkedalen

Started from Årstadveien and walked along Svartediket before following Hardbakkedalen up to Langelivatnet. The dense fog made it more challenging to locate Helgheim than expected, but in the end we found a trail that took as all the way to the cabin. But on our way back we continued too far north/northwest, missing the exit to Grevbu, and ended up having to retrace out steps before finally taking a shortcut toward the cabin. In better weather this mistake would probably have been easily avoided. After a quick visit of Grevbu, we followed the marked trail down to Tarlebøvatnet. The hike was then concluded by passing over Rundemanen on the way home to Lønborg. Overall a nice hike that can be recommended, but probably much more enjoyable in better conditions.
