We payed the toll in Åsavegen, parked at Åsen p-plass, and followed the marked trail to Nuken. After a short break at the summit, the rest of my party returned along the same route to the car while I followed the marked trail to Hølsete. The trail was easy to follow but is probably rather wet during less dry periods. I tried finding the shortcut via Røvhaugane, but failed and had to take the long way around. (I later learned that the proper trail is not the main trail indicated on the map, but rather the one passing by the houses further south.) The hike was completed by walking along the roads to Barsnes.
