To make the most of the forecasted longer break between the rain showers, Endre and I postponed our planned early start from Bergen and instead left around noon. Upon arriving at Molland it was still raining but after a couple of minutes of waiting in the car we put on our rain gear and proceeded to the marked trailhead for Austefjellet, and it would not take long before it stopped raining altogether.

We had left our car next to the road just south of the northernmost houses in Molland, as learned from previous trip reports, but there was now a new small parking lot (with room for maybe 2-3 cars) just around the next corner. From there on there were signs and trail markers all the way to the summit.

Given the easy-to-follow trail it did not take long before we arrived at the large summit cairn. Sadly, most of the probably excellent views were hidden by the low-hanging clouds, but the fog turned slightly less dense just at the right time such that we could at least get an idea of what we were missing.

Due to a cold wind we however did not stay long before returning the same way, the only added challenge being a herd of contact-seeking goats that had to be navigated towards the very end.

Back in the car, we drove south and then northeast to Fossdalen to ascend Grønefjellet.
