After having visited Berstadhornet earlier in the day, I had time for one more hike and chose to drive to Sandvikeidet on Stadlandet to visit Nausane. I also visited Sandvikeidet in March 2009, when I hiked Tarvaldsegga (645m) - the highest mountain top on the Stadlandet peninsula.

I remembered that the path to Tarvaldsegga was marked and well worn. I expected the same to be true for Nausane, and I did indeed find a signpost and a path. Perhaps not as worn as the path to Tarvaldsegga, but I had no problems following it upwards.

I left Sandvikeidet 1:20pm and reached the top 2pm sharp. I met a woman who was ready to leave and we had a short talk before she continued down on a different route. I took a couple of minutes to enjoy the great view in the direction of Vanylven...

On my way back to Sandvikeidet, I chose to take a detour up to Søreggja. I got no clear impression of where the highest point was, and made sure to visit every hump on the plateau.

From here, I chose a steep descent route down to Kopevatnet, which I crossed (on ice) upon returning to the car (2:35pm).

Yet another nice day in the Selje mountains was coming to an end, but I had one more thing to look forward to - Syvdsalpane in sunshine!
