Itinerary description
This hike quite literally starts behind Bergen`s IKEA. Doesn`t sound promising? Think again. This fantastic little mountain area has escaped development around sprawling Åsane and remains one of my favourite destinations for a quick, though impressive hike. Also check `Veten` on my wikiloc: another great hike in this area. This hike will take you 3 hours tops and is packed with most of what Western Norway has to offer to tourists: quaint farms, rustic lakes, rugged moors, jagged peaks and, last but not least, fjord views. Pick up the well-signposted trail from the Baugtveit carpark and wallk past the farmhouses. Here, the trail will climb up to a lake and continue onwards through dense pine plantation. After 10 minutes, you`ll emerge on top of a heather-clad ridge. Follow the trail to the right and climb up Høgstefjellet. The way down is a bit swampy, so you may get wet feet. During spring, this section is covered with flowers..
