Middagshaugen

After out visit to Sverrestuven, Endre (Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen)) and me continued to Middagshaugen, parking next to the road at Bjørkheim and at the start of the marked trail. The trail (first red markers, later blue) could easily be followed all the way to the summit, which was itself unmarked.

Excellent views from the summit, but the views were even better 100 meters to the south, where there was also a visitor register, clearly the main goal for most hikers. For the descent we followed the same trail back down to the car, concluding an excellent short hike that can be highly recommended.
