Trekking Mattirudla (346m) near Gramstadt

WIth fall colors slowly fading, we continue our exploration of the Lutsifjellet hillsides with attempting to climb Mattirudla (346m) and Bjorndalsfjellet (363m) this weekend. Due to our late start we only managed to clamber up Mattirudla one hour shy of midday. We then decided to leave the higher peak to another weekend. 

The fall colors were still around in patches but the leaves are struggling to hang on to branches in their last few days, a gentle breeze would quickly dislodge most of them to the ground to start a new cyle of the seasons.

View towards Sandness.

Can't go on anymore!

Aisya has an appetite for higher vantage points.

Break for lunch and hot chocolate.

Happy scrambling down the hill.

We have a few more hills to do around the Sandness, generally tame ones upwards of 300m. These places of higher vantage points add many opportunities of great views of the countryside. Ultimately further afield there are even higher mountains with even more elaborate treks. Hopefully next summer we can explore further, higher hills, meadows and mountains.
