Gamlehaugen

Gamlehaugen, a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list, had its first registered visit by Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) three weeks ago, but as his trip report was not yet available, except for a picture of the highest point, I had no previous information to base my visit on. After first exploring the areas south and west of the summit, including a detour to Konsulbukta, I finally found a route to the summit that did not require any climbing. From the small building northeast of the summit there was actually an old trail leading all the way to the highest point, which could thus be reached without any issues.
