End of 2007
Compared to the same date one year ago the weather is quite different. The mountain Ådnanipa, 456m, has got a white cap of snow. Today we have a nice view to Garnes and the fjord.

Another day in late december
It's time to continue step by step. To day we heads for the south western part of the city mountains. From Bønes we follow the path upwards through a pine wood. Beetween the trees we look back down to the roofs of a part of Bønes, a residence area surrounded by wooden nature. 
At Gullstølen we have a short stop by the cabin, built by the local scout group. The construction is a traditional stave building, built in about the same method as the stave churches. On the back wall is written the information for a hiker competition for this season.
Some minutes later we reach the summit Gullsteinen and its great stone cairn. We are 352 m up. Further on is higher mountain "Løvstakken ", 477 m. To the right is Landås surburb and the snowcap of "Ulriken" mountain behind.
If you want to know why the mountain is called Gullsteinen (The Golden Stone), may be the next picture is an explanation. The stone has been left here by the glacier thousands of years ago.
