Sunday: After a nice revisit to Mosaksla and the really nice hike “Aungrenda rundt”, I was in a real need for a new top. Fortunately, there were tops in the Brønnøy region that I still hadn’t done, although the ones left require a bit of driving and long hikes.
But Hongfjellet was an exception. Well, the drive would take an hour, but the hike wouldn’t be that long, and I was able to “sell” the trip to Anne. As she’s driving a LOT as part of her job as a Park Ranger, she’s mediocrely interested in additional driving. Which is understandable. But during the holiday season, exceptions can be made. And so we drove from Brønnøysund in the direction of Tosenfjorden.
We found parking at Fossheim – there is an official parking for hiking there.
Then we followed the tractor road in the direction of Nedre Moavatnet.
Anne got an “easy ride” up the tractor road, as Karma got the scent of something really interesting…
Eventually, we left the tractor road and found a vague path that seemed to go in the right direction. We knew that we would have to cross the river and had brought clogs and sandals for the crossing…
But, as there wasn’t a lot of water in the river, the crossing was easy.
And the clogs and the sandals never came to use. No point in carrying them up the mountain…
Then we stuck to the mountain path.
I was really happy about being here. This was another mountain that I had thought about visiting for 20+ years, and now we were finally here!
The route up the mountain was easy enough…
We only had light rain, which was much better than what the forecast had indicated.
It’s a “big landscape” up here. Off-trail hiking doesn’t come for free…
The hike on top of the plateau was longer than I had expected, but eventually we reached the top! In fog, of course…
We followed the same route down as we came up and returned to Brønnøysund very happy about having done this hike! Not only did we get another Brønnøy top, but we could “tick” one in Bindal too…
Trip statistics: 7,7km, 505 vertical meters, 2h:21m
