Gullsteinen from Varden

Dato:
28.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
7,8km

We wished to get some fresh air and thus headed for Gullsteinen (from Varden). We first descended from Varden to Sælevatnet, before then surrounding Bondegården in its north. Via Ture Nermans vei we then connected to Rekdalsveien, which we then followed "all the way up" to the point, where one can step down some stairs to the sports area in Fjellsdalen. We then stepped up Hattedalen to get to Bråtet. From there, we then started our ascent to Gullsteinen. While one of us found a way (more a "way"!) up to Knultrane, the other one continued along the gravel road to Nils Langhellesvei (where we met, again, then). From there, it was then up via the southern ridge to Gullsteinen, mostly following the nice trails along this ridge. From the top of Gullsteinen, however, >>>

Rindafjellet from Gåssand (wow!)

Dato:
21.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
8:00t
Distanse:
17,0km

We expected a nice Sunday and headed out for a special "project": Rindafjellet from Gåssand! This clearly became a bit of an adventure and (quite) a bit of a challenge, also. It may be good to read the following before possibly retracing our hiking track (the hike was very nice, yes, but also a bit long and very steep up to Rindafjellet!). We drove south from Bergen (along E39 into the direction of Os) and took the small road that leads to Gåssand, after all. Before actually coming to the south end of Ytsta Raudlivatnet, however, we parked at the relatively large parking spot near Hatlelia. From there, we then first walked further along Gåssandvegen, crossing Nordelva north of Gåssand. At the other side of the bridge, we turned left and followed a track across Nauslia that >>>

Ankerhytten from Sandviken

Dato:

Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
11,1km

We somehow decided to go a round near Bergen and thus took the bus to Sandviken. After first walking up to Fjellveien, we continued along it to get to Permisjonsstien. This brought us up to Sandviksbatteriet, where we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden. Next on the agenda was to get over to Munkebotn, cross over the stream that runs out of Munkebotsvatnet towards the north, and take the trail up to cabin Ravneberg. This trail is actually quite steep (but nice and straight-forward to hike up), offering some nice views along it. Continuing along the trail, we then passed by (closed) Sandvikshytten, before heading further upwards into the direction of Kvitebjørnen. Instead of hiking all the way to the top of Kvitebjørnen, however, we then followed a lower trail that was supposed to bring >>>

Erdalsvarden from Bratland (or so)

Dato:
13.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
12,2km

We picked up an older plan to visit Erdalsvarden from Bratland and drove past Grimevatnet to the south of Søylevatnet (along the main road to Arna). We parked where on also can take a trail (in southern direction) to get up to Furedalen. Instead, however, we headed (at large) in northward direction, passing Søylevatnet in its east. We then continued along the ridge that extends from Borgnyhaugen (in the southwest) to Krunhaugen (in the northeast). From there, we followed (for a short stretch) the road up to Øvre Bratland, before turning left at house 146 and then walking along the old postal route between Bergen and Christiania (nowadays Oslo). This brought us to the saddle where one could then continue downwards again (towards Erdalen in southwestern direction). There, we turned right >>>

Brøknipa from Båtaleitet, back via Borgasærtra

Dato:
12.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
8,9km

We had the afternoon of this Friday at our disposal and the weather was looking OK. :-) To combine some mountain impressions with such of the fjords, we headed for Brøknipa on Osterøy, starting from Båtaleitet parking at about 350mosl. After driving to Osterøy via the bridge and then continuing further (along Sørfjorden) towards Bruvik, we headed up to the saddle and parked at Båtaleitet parking. Looking up to Brøknipa from there, we recognized that there was still quite a bit of snow left on the northern flank. We agreed to giving it a try, while being ready to turn around whenever anyone of us would feel like it. We followed the main trail that passes by Varmavatnet at about 425mosl. Also the following 100 height meters (in southern direction) were still easy and without much >>>

Høgstefjellet, Tellevikafjellet, and Nordgardsfjellet

Dato:
01.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
6,8km

We were up to a medium-long hike and decided to do the round around Baugtveitstemma, including Høgstefjellet, Tellevikafjellet, and Nordgardsfjellet. After driving to Åsane, first, we then continued into the direction of Salhus, turning right at Hitland and entering the narrow road up to Baugtveit. Before actually getting all the way up to Baugtveit, we found a parking place at the parking slot for hikers (Håkonsplass). To get up to Høgstefjellet, we headed into southeastern direction, first. Instead of following the trail in the southwest of Furbudalen, we aimed at the ridge in the northeast of this trail, leading up to Baugtveitgotene. Even though we could not find any trail up this ridge, ascending it was still well doable (there are a few slightly steeper sections -- nothing that >>>
