After our adventurous day-hike to Brekkenipa I still wanted one more "summit" for the evening while the others of our group decided to drive to Stegastein for sunset. I checked the local guide and found easy route to Slænshovden just next to our cabin. I decided to run as much as I could. First easy running on road & dirt road and then on a good trail with good signs. Then again around 500m elevation the trail and signs dissappeared for a while and I just pushed up my own routes. Good views from the top, nice sunset. On the top I looked map and noticed that with only 100m descent off-trail I would meet a dirt road that would lead me back to Stalheim, so I could get a round trip. First part of descending was easy. Then I found a good path, which I managed to lose pretty fast. Don't know how lost it but soon I found my self again on steep terrain, holding on trees and crawling down. I have to admit that I got scared for a second cause the light was already pretty low and the way down looked a bit scary for a little while. Then I noticed the wide trail again that led me on the dirt road I was heading for. Easy running on the road and path via Bratteland back to Stalheim. After all, really good experience.
