Barmehovda
After my visits of Hovlandsnuten and Etlådnefjellet, and the excellent views from the bike ride along Onarheimsfjorden, I arrived at the tractor road marking the trailhead for Barmehovda expecting a short but perhaps not very interesting hike. Leaving the bike behind, the tractor road made for an easy ascent to the antenna which used to be the highest point. However, after Runemb (Rune Blomberg)'s visit last year the summit had been moved about 100 meters west.
The terrain from the tractor road to the new summit was not the most inviting, but thankfully I soon found a deer track that I could more or less follow all the way to the summit. Limited views from the summit, similar to the ones from the antenna, but at least some views to the south could be obtained through the trees. From the summit, I followed the same route back to the tractor road which I then followed back to the main road.
While far from the worst summit I've visited, and pretty easy to reach due to the tractor road, I'm still pretty sure that this is the kind of summit that most hikers will only feel the need to visit once (if at all).
