Øyefjellet/Varden from Øvsthus
After visiting Veten and Sandvikehorga and Bygdaåsen, we still had around two hours until the planned ferry back to Gjermundshamn, which should be more than enough for me to also make a quick visit to Øyefjellet/Varden. Given that petter (Petter Bjørstad) had already visited Øyefjellet more than 15 years ago, he simply dropped me off at the trailhead at Øvsthus. The marked trail was easy to follow and I initially made good progress towards the summit. Soon I would however get to areas that were first wet and muddy and later also covered by increasing amounts of snow, at times even making it difficult to spot the trail markers. This of course greatly reduced my speed and I constantly had to keep an eye on my watch in order to make sure that I had enough time to both get to the summit and back down again in time for the ferry. In the end, I finally reached the summit and could briefly enjoy the spectacular panoramic views before starting my descent. When Petter picked me up at the trailhead we immediately drove to the ferry pier where we had about ten minutes to spare before the ferry arrived. Clearly a summit potentially worth revisiting in the future, but not too bad to cover all four summits on Varaldsøy on the same day either. Thanks Petter!
