Bergen Travpark and Gjesthaugen

Short hike on a gray Saturday where the main goal was to visit yet another minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Gjesthaugen. While in the area I also took the opportunity to pass by both Bergen Camping Park and Bergen Travpark. The summit of Gjesthaugen was easy to reach via a narrow trail from the southeast, although the trail was a bit weak at times (indicated by my unplanned use of an alternative trail for part of the descent) and one definitely had to pay attention in order to not miss the unmarked trailhead. After descending from Gjesthaugen, I concluded the hike by following the paved hiking path to Breistein, from where I took the bus back home.
