Hauståkernakken utsiktspunkt from Vesterland

After celebrating my niece’s confirmation at Vesterland, I convinced Sigjoern (Sigbjørn Holm) and Marthine to join me for a hike to Hauståkernakken utsiktspunkt. Excellent views all the way from Vesterland to the locked gate above Dalåker. From here until reaching our goal, the views were much more limited due to lots of trees. But this only helped build anticipation to when the views finally opened up at the end of the tractor road and we could enjoy the stunning views across Amlabukti with a snow-covered Bleia in the background. As the sun was setting, we however did not stay long before heading back. First along the tractor road but soon instead following marked bike trail shortcuts. Overall, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended.
