Godøy – Storhornet

Godøy is bigger than it seems, almost every time! But this hike is actually a rather optimal one for someone who is trying to be careful. Only a bit is a rather steep incline and quite a lot is very well paved surfaces. The descent towards the west used...

Sukkertoppen fra Osane

First time we’re coming up here from this side. The path starts as a very convenient gravel path, although this time one complication is the gigantic construction site (Osane idrettshall) and you have to cross a patch of wooded terrain along the fence around the site – to the...

Trollkyrkja

Klausethornet, 669moh. (Midsundtrappene)

This is the one with all the mushrooms. Подосиновик is Rødskrubb or Eikeskrubb or Ospeskrubb in Norwegian.

Easy to get confused,...

Frostatind, 807moh.

This is the third time we’re here, now in the company of 2 friends visiting via Servas. Those two are super fit so we fly up the summit and beat all the records. Also, used different paths to get up and down. Up there it is worth paying attention...
