Cycling: Hjellestad and Milde

Cycling trip to Hjellestad and Milde, including visits of Hjellestadvarden and Nepegjerdhaugen. For Hjellestadvarden, it was easy to get less than 50 meters from the summit and it only required a minor off-trail detour on foot to reach the two cairns marking the highest point. Pretty much no views from the summit though and probably does not get many visitors. Getting close to Nepegjerdhaugen was also straightforward, but as it was basically in someone's backyard, I was again satisfied with getting as close as I could without leaving the bike. Before returning home, I also visited both Bergen botanical garden and The Arboretum at Milde. This was clearly one of those trips where the trip itself was much more interesting than the two visited summits.
