Benshaugen, Nordre Lyshovden and Lyshovden

Short evening hike to visit three small hills in Fyllingsdalen. Each hill was easily ascended via unmarked trails with trailheads that thankfully did not include any feelings of trespassing private property (as is not often be the case with these small hills in populated areas). Overall, a nice short hike in a neighborhood that I probably would not otherwise have visited.
