Alvanuten

On my way to ascend Matskårhaugane I had an hour at Aksdal between arriving with the express bus from Bergen and continuing with the local bus to Etne. Instead of waiting at the bus stop, or hanging out at Aksdal Senter, I decided on a quick visit of Alvanuten and its dagsturhytte. There was an easy-to-follow trail starting from the end of Alvanutvegen that took me all the way to the cabin with the summit right next to it. After enjoying the excellent views, I returned the same way and made it to the bus terminal with around ten minutes to spare.
