Kaldestadåsen from Pollen/Podlen

With the ascent of Brattåsen, we had visited all of the five peaks at Halsnøya. We still had time before the planned ferry from Årsnes to Gjermundshamn though and decided to continue our peak bagging across the fjord. After passing through the tunnel to the mainland we found parking at the marked trailhead for Kaldestadåsen from Pollen (or Podlen on the signs). First, we briefly walked along a gravel road before turning onto a marked trail that would take us all the way to the summit. Excellent views across Husnes, and towards our next goal of Bogsnesåsen, from the summit. We initially descended along a slightly different route that later merged with our ascent route. Overall, a nice but steep hike that can be recommended.
