Trip Summary

We parked in Haganes, almost at sea level, and near this little park, which they have set up close to the sea. Actually, before starting our hike, we first inspected this little park, which is there in Haganes kind of unexpected! :-) We then walked along the sea for a few meters (on the eastern side of the bay, vis-a-vis Notaneset), before we connected to another small road, serving a number of new houses there. Behind the houses on the eastern side of this road, we eventually found a narrow path, leading in southeastern direction (as we had planned). We managed to get around and up the first cliff, following this simple path, and crossed over, then, along a comparably wet path, to the next cliff. Climbing a few steps up and around, we ended up at the other side to this small cliff and continued along the hill-side in northeastern direction. As soon as the terrain to our left started to be less steep, we ascended, again---walking up a place that is marked with Kjerringastigen on the map. On top, we again had to climb up a little (not really a big deal, however). We then continued northover (via Alteret and Adneviksbakkane) and right next to Indrafjellet (Haganesfjellet)---without, however, noticing it a lot (the clouds were handing so deeply that our view was significantly limited). Near Brattstigvatnet, we turned left and followed a nice path down, back into the direction of Haganes. Before getting down to Haganes, however, we first came through a little forest, which also was kind of unexpected there. :-) All in all, this comparably short walk was wet but refreshing---clearly, more options for other/larger hikes remain in this area (probably extra-nice in nice weather, also).
