Accidental Stemhaugen

Dato:
26.08.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
20,2km

The primary goal of this trip was to just do a bit of shopping! :-) Once on my bike, however, I immediately thought that making a short detour, first, would be good. I thus started along Bjørgeveien and headed northwards towards Bjørndalen. South / southeast of Lyderhorn, I then connected to Liavatnet. As I came towards the northern end of Liavatnet, I thought that this was maybe my chance to include a short visit to Stemhaugen! :-) North of the dam that holds back Liavatnet, I thus left my bike behind and found my way (rather "way") up to Stemhaugen via its northern ridge (no trail, steep, but not difficult). I then crossed over the top of Stemhaugen, enjoying some nice views down to Liavatnet and over to Lyderhorn. On my way down (still in southern direction), I made it >>>

Eldsfjellet from the north

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,0km

We had not been on Eldsfjellet for a while -- not the two of us, at least! Eldsfjellet is -- for good reasons -- a relatively popular hiking destination (it's not really high, as a mountain, but since it's standing out of its surrounding quite a bit, one can expect quite nice views from its heights). Here on Peakbook, as well as on other hiking platforms, one can easily get the impression that everyone (or "everyone") hikes up to Eldsfjellet from its south, either from the parking spot near Alvhøyen along Skjelangervegen, or from Skurtveit via Skurtveitvegen. Harald 's approach from the northwest is a notable exception, of course! :-) Even though it looked like off-trail a lot, we made a plan to approach Eldsfjellet from the north, instead. The idea was to follow Skjelangervegen further and around Eldsfjellet, >>>

Liatårnet from Liaskjeret

Dato:
11.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,1km

We took the car from Bergen towards the west, crossing over Sotrabrua. In the west of Bildøya, we turned south (onto Døsjevegen), driving to Liaskjeret in the east of Liatårnet. From Liaskjærshallen, we then started our hike with our first goal being the trail that leads up to Liatårnet from Hølo. To get there, we had the choice between walking along Liaskjervegen for a good stretch and the alternative of following a simple trail above (in the west) of the houses. Choosing the latter, we first walked up Elvabakkvegen to get to the nearest trail head near house #11. A few hundred meters further west (and up a little), we then turned right (northwards), aiming for Skoradalen via a simple trail. West of Skogsbrekko, however, we did not really find a good way to continue further to >>>

Møsnuken from Heggeland and Gjemdalsskaret

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,9km

We thought that crossing over Møsnuken from Gjemdal / Heggeland (in the east) to Krokvatnet (in the north) and then returning via Gjemdalsskaret back to the starting point sounded like a nice idea. :-) Accordingly, we took the new E39 connection from Bergen to Osøyro, just to continue into Hegglandsdalen from there (road 579). After passing by Tveitavatnet, we found a place to leave our car (quite near to where Spannsteigselva comes down from Gjemdalsskaret). Instead of following the gravel road up to Gjemdalsskaret from Gjemdal (to then connect to the trail that leads up to Tveitaskaret), we aimed at an ascent route through the forest in the west of Spannsteigselva (without trail). Near house #659 along Hegglandsdalsvegen we stepped onto a simple field road, leading steeply upwards into >>>

Solbakkafjellet from Hausdalen

Dato:
05.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,1km

Since we had not been there for a while, we thought that hiking up to Solbakkafjellet once again may nice. This time, however, we decided to approach it from Hausdalen near Haugland. Driving into Hausdalen, we found a place near Haugland, where we could leave the car for a few hours. From there, we started to approach Solbakkafjellet "straight up" (without any trail). The southeastern flank of Solbakkafjellet (Skoralia) is steep and occasionally one needs to find a way around some obstacles on the way up. Still, ascending "straight up" is not really difficult. Within not too long, we accordingly arrived at the top of Solbakkafjellet, paying Petersplassen a short visit (we could not remember this place from our last visit). We then crossed over the long top-ridge of >>>
