Tyssøyna: Varden and Smivågen
Given the excellent weather forecast, I decided to take half a day of "vinterferie" to explore Tyssøyna and Bjorøyna. First up was Tyssøyna. We parked at Tyssøyna p-plass and from there followed the roads towards the marked trailhead for the short detour to Varden, which provided great views despite being only 80 meters above sea level. We continued south, and later west, still along a marked trail until reconnecting with the gravel road east of the summit. After a visit of Simvågen we followed yet another marked trail along the coast via Skjervika and Tyssøyvågen before getting to the paved road and from there returning to the car. Overall, a very nice short trip that can be highly recommended.
