Storevarden (07.11.2015)

Note that this track has been created a posteriori, i.e., from memory, not automatically recorded.

Trip Summary

We parked along Bergheimvegen (near Skogedalen) and walked a few meters along the road (towards East), before we found the path up towards Storevarden (on the left). Within a few minutes, we reached a ridge that easily leads towards Storevarden. From there, one has a nice view over Byfjorden and Bergen. We then continued towards Langafjellet (one should take care to not start too much to the East, where a nice ridge invites to be followed---instead, one should look out for a small path that leads downwards, before connecting to Langafjellet). On the other side of Langafjellet, we connected back to a place, which we have visited recently---right next to a very nice small lake. From there, we basically turned back (on the "main path", however, that is a little to the West of the small path that we had taken from Storevarden). We passed by the nice Langafjelletstjørna on our way back to the car. Before leaving the valley and reaching the street, again, one needs to watch out for the path on the western side---the alternative in the bottom of the valley is very wet! :-)
