Høghaugen and Frotveit søyle
An afternoon hike to visit Høghaugen, another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. As a bonus I would get Frotveit søyle for free as it is located right next to the summit. I took the bus to "Frotveit snuplass" and briefly continued north along the road before crossing the river via an old stone bridge and following the same trail I had used when ascending Lundåsane in 2017. I soon left this trail though and instead simply headed off-trail towards the highest point, which was reached without any issues. From the summit I could spot the trig marker and thus easily completed the final distance to Frotveit søyle. For the descent I tried a more direct shortcut back to the stone bridge but given the relatively steep terrain I probably did not save much, if any, time. The hike was concluded by taking the same route to Totland as for my hike to Lundåsane and finally taking the bus home from Fjellbirkeland.
