Trip Summary

Given a quite nice day, we decided to walk to Bergen (via Løvstakken). We first walked up to Orrtuvatnet, before then continuing (further up) to Lyshovden. Next, we wished to get up to Gullsteinen and we did so via Nils Langhelles vei (using a trail that starts basically where the last house stands at Nils Langhelles vei). From Gullsteinen, we then followed the main trail up to Løvstakken. To continue further to Bergen, we aimed at Juvdalen. The descent to Løvstien is quite steep, though. Altogether a nice option to get to Bergen! :-)
