Access

From Nesttun, drive towards Os and then on towards Hatvik. Turn left into Hegglandsdalen (signposted Samnanger). Drive through Hegglandsdalen past the bends down towards the fjord and turn left into Lønningdal. Drive past Øvredalsvatnet and on to the end at the tourist parking lot in Øvredalen. It is recommended to drive two cars so that you can park one car up at Midtseter, so you don't have to go all the way back to pick up the car.

Parking

Det er gratis turparkering  begge steder, ved Øvredal. (start) og oppe ved Midtsæter (turslutt).

Description

This is the most beautiful mountain hike you can take in Os.

The hike starts in Øvredalen. Follow the tractor road a little inland and go left up the hill where there is a sign marked 'Svinningen'. The first part of the hike goes through forest terrain. Along the trail for the first 3 km. you will find words of wisdom and fun surprises such as the BH tree and the bench where you can have a drink. When you get past the tree line, the real ascent to the top begins. Follow the markings all the way. Svinningen (842 m.) is the highest mountain in the municipality of Os. At the top there is a 360 degree panoramic view. Fusa, Folgefonna, Gullfjellet, Hausdalshorga, and far north you can also see the city mountains of Bergen.

From Svinningen the trip continues south over Søtafjellet, Sauskolten, Rindafjellet and further down to Midtsæterfjellet. It goes both up and down. Some steep sections. All the way you have great views in all directions. This is Os municipality's answer to Vidden in Bergen. Only a little more demanding, so it is recommended that you are comfortable with hiking. Have a good trip!
