Access:
On highway 7 over Kvamskogen (Bergen - Norheimsund), exit towards the Eikedalen skiing centre. The Eikedalen exit is within the 70Km zone on Kvamskogen. Parking is available. There might be parking fee in the skiing season.

The trail:
Just climb along the leftmost skitrek. On top of the skitrek, move along to the left (southwest), and you will be on Hullabottsfjellet in no time.

Continuing more southwest, you descend from Hullabottsfjellet and arrive at some lakes. This is a nice area. You will see a hut on the west end of the main lake, and you should be able to pick up a trail that will take you over the valley and up a pass leading up to Børdalsfjellet. The summit lies on the southern side of the mountain.

Go back down to the hut, and make it over wetlands to Utløbottsfjellet. From this mountain, you can head back to Hullabottsfjellet over the southern beginning of the Hullabottsgjelet pass.

Notes:
I hiked this route with almost zero vision. I was completely fogged in. I was aware of the steep sides of the mountain facing north, so that made the hiking interesting. I don't remember how long the hike took, but I guess 2-3 hours.
