Trollefjellet

Dato:
29.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
11,6km

With all the many and wonderful mountains all around, we decided to not drive all too much and rather make a hike close to where we were staying. The impressive cliff of Trollefjellet immediately came to mind and after a short look at the map, it appeared possible to ascend to Trollefjellet via its western (steep!) ridge. After briefly consulting with one from Indrehus, we not only learned that he had made this ascent already before, but also got permission to drive up a little along the forest road in the south of Storeelva. This brought us up to about 200mosl (and quite a bit nearer to the cliff!) and we parked where the forrest road turns right, away from Storeelva and up Nevredalen. From there, we then followed the forrest road further up. This brought us almost perfectly to the saddle >>>

Hornelen (and Storenipa and Svartevassegga) from Berleneset

Dato:
28.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
8:00t
Distanse:
16,4km

One motivation to drive all the way from Bergen to Bremanger was the prospect of hiking Hornelen, i.e., a mountain that we had heard/read repeatedly about. From the place, where we stayed over night, in the southwest of Svelgen, it's not a really long drive to get to Bremangerlandet. Especially Skatestraumtunnelen helps to get over without any waiting times. The day before, on our hike on Batalden , we had learned that ascending Hornelen from Berleneset should be nice. Accordingly, we did not follow the main trail (from Hornskor), but followed road 616 a little further to the west, before turning left and right into Berleporten, i.e., a tunnel that leads to the other, southern side of the mountains, where Berlepollen cuts deep into Bremangerlandet. More or less right after leaving the tunnel, we then turned >>>

Nice evening hike on Batalden

Dato:
27.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,8km

We had taken the car from Bergen to Florø with the plan to enjoy the evening on island Batalden in the northwest of the town. The last two ferries that would stop on the island had a spacing of roughly four hours between them, providing sufficient time for a nice, extended hike. Note that it's important to call the ferries up-front in order to arrange that they actually stop at Batalden. After drop off in the southeast of the island, we started our hike first in northern direction (along the eastern shore of Batalden) to make our hike a nice round (not just up and down the same trail). While it did not really look like a trail (along the shore), we still had the clear impression that at least sheep seemed to use this "trail" and following in their "steps" was quite >>>

Hesjadalsnovene from Øyadalen

Dato:
21.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
14,8km

With quite some cloud cover predicted, we decided for a medium-high hike on our way back to Bergen. Drvingin out Eksingedalen to Eidslandet and then further along Eidsfjorden, we came to Kalland shortly after. Rounding Stamnesfjellet on the road brought us to the narrow road up from Vik to Vikadalen. Turning right right after the bridge over Vikavatnet, we arrived at the lower end of Øyadalen and parked there at a proper parking place. The map had indicated that one could choose from walking into Øyadalen either on its northwestern side, or on its southeastern one. To see it all, we decided to walk into Øyadalen on its northwestern side, first. Given the substantial amounts of rain on the day before, we quickly learned that this would turn into a very (very!) wet hike soon! :-) Yes, >>>

An attempt to Slettefjellet via Eikemostølen

Dato:
20.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,4km

The weather forecast was not really promising, but we decided to still give it a chance. Driving down Eksingedalen and passing by the tunnel to Modalen, we soon came to Treshaugen near Eikemo, where we parked the car right next to the road. We had read up front that we should be able to locate a (steep) trail up to Eikemostølen from there and indeed we could find some blue marks on a couple of trees right next to the road near the northern bend of Ekso (in the northeast of Eikemo). Still, finding the "trail" did then require a lot of imagination (yes, a good number of trees were marked on the way up to Eikemostølen, but the "trail" was hard to see, or not, and partially covered fully with vegetation like high grass or farns). Nonetheless, it was then without major >>>

Exploring Høvik

Dato:
20.07.2022
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,0km

To get a bit of fresh air in the evening, we decided to explore Høvik in Eksingedalen. After first walking along the few roads in Høvik, we started a short ascent to Svedgjeli in northeasern direction (below Åsen), following a stretch of old Reitlevegen through Eksingedalen. From there, we then had some nice overview of Høvik. When walking back, we also explored the wide bend of the Ekso river (in the south of Høvik) that probably is responsible for the suffix of name Høvik. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . On the Web Archive , one can still find information about Reitlevegen .

Saudalsnovi from Flatekvål in Eksingedalen

Dato:
19.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
16,4km

Expecting a nice day, we aimed at Saudalsnovi in the southwest of Lavik in Eksingedalen. We drove to Flatekvål, a short stretch down Eksingedalen from Lavik, and parked at the parking place for the church, Eksingedalen Kyrkje, right next to Eksingedalsvegen. From there, we walked along Sørdalsvegen, passing by the church and crossing over river Ekso close to where Sørdalen comes down on the other, southern side. After crossing the flat spot at Øyna and entering Sørdalen, we came to a few (commercial?) buildings. There, on the back-side of these buildings, we found a simple pedestrians' bridge that lead us over to the other, western side of the Sørdalselvi. There, we quickly found a marked trail that would lead us (steeply) up to the ridge above Furneslii. Once up there, at about >>>

Det Høga Bungane from Haugen

Dato:
18.07.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

After some driving, we ended up in Lavik, Eksingedalen, in the early evening. We decided that it was still enough time for a short walk and followed a recommendation from one we had talked to in Lavik, driving up to Haugen in Fagerdalen, just northeast of Lavik. From there, we started walking, reaching Lavikstølen at the end of the gravel road leading up there from Haugen. At Lavikstølen, we still wished to include a bit more and so we continued along a trail that leads upwards (in western direction) from Lavikstølen. First, we thought that this trail would lead up to Nipa, just to find out rather quickly that the trail tended more and more into southwestern direction, instead. Once above 700mosl, it became clear that this trail would lead around some pronounced cliffs in the south >>>

Kanadaskogen with Storhovden

One of many rounds through Kanadaskogen, starting along Gjeddevatnet, also including Fureneset, this time, and then continuing to Bjørndalsvatnet and further to Svartatjørna. On our way back, we included Storhovden and Syningen, then passing by Stora Krokatjørna. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
