From Stovegolvet to Sagvåg on Stord

Dato:
11.05.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
13,2km

As part 2 of a two-days hike across Stord, we started from Stovegolvet, where we had stayed over night. We first descended (steeply) towards Tysevatnet, following a nice trail down from Stovegolvet. Instead of walking around Eldhushøgda, as prepared for by the trails, we crossed over this little hill, enjoying some nice views from above. Even though a bit steep on its southwestern side, descending back down to the trail was still no issue. We then followed the trail, which leads (also across the one or other dam) along Tysevatnet in its south, to get to the other side and, eventually, further southwards to Ravatnet, crossing over a little saddle in the west of Ramnaskolten. After walking between Ravasslia (in the northwest) and Ravatnet (in the southeast), we arrived at another small saddle >>>

From Vistvik to Stovegolvet on Stord

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
7:00t
Distanse:
16,5km

As part 1 of a two-days hike across Stord, we first took an early bus from Bergen southwards. The bus dropped us off near Vistvik (Vestvik?) quite a bit north on Stord. From Grønestølen, we then started our ascent into Hovlandsdalen, where Vistvikelva comes down. At almost 200 masl, we then followed a sign towards Tindane (turning left to get up the northern ridge of Tindane). We then followed the trail further up to Tindane (this trail is not used a lot, as it seems, but still easy to find -- at times, howover, the terrain is quite wet). Near Tindane, we then arrived at Tindaslottet (a small cabin, firmly protected by stones all-around). After a short break (it was not really warm enough for any longer break, and also we could not really enjoy a lot of great views due to low-hanging >>>

From Varden to Melkeplassen via Gravdalsfjellet

Dato:
01.05.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
8,2km

The initial plan was to hike from Varden to Bergen via Gravdalsfjellet. We started northwards from Varden, reaching Langaheia in the east of Stora Krokatjørna soon after. We then "crossed over" the gravel road from Spelhaugen to Tennebekktjørna to continue to Eikelifjellet. North of Eikelifjellet, we then surrounded Nipetjørna in its northwest in order to take the steep way up to Gravdalsfjellet. We then continued along the main trail (into the direction of Damsgårdsfjellet). However, instead of ascending to Holefjellet "as usually", we took a slightly more southern route eastwards. This brought us to the ascent to Olsokfjellet (via its northwestern ridge). From Olsokfjellet, we then used one of the main trails (in northeastern direction) to get down to Melkeplassen. >>>

Bekhilderen at low tide

Dato:
20.04.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,8km

Planning our timing just right, we decided to visit Bekhilderen at low tide. We parked along Telavågvegen and followed first the road Håvarden. This brought us to the old mill at Selståvågen. From there, we followed the trail first to Grunnevågen and then further, on the other, southern side, to Bekhilderen. After having some good time there, we returned, basically following the same route "backwards". :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

From Bergen to Varden via Løvstakken

Dato:
15.04.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
11,7km

After work, I decided to move my body a little and walk home via Løvstakken. I crossed Puddefjorden via Småpudden and then ascended towards Juvdalen via Solheimslien. Right next to Strandafjellet, this brought me up to the heights north of Løvstakken. Following one of the main trails, there, I then continued to the top of Løvstakken. Continuing along the main trail southwards, I then crossed over Gulsteinen to get down to Bønes. Walking through Fjellsdalen and following some more roads I arrived at Nordåsvatnet. From there, it was then only back northwards to Varden along Sælevatnet. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Walk around Sælevatent

Dato:
14.04.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
9,6km

This time, the plan was to walk around Sælevatnet. I started from Varden and headed towards Bondegården in the north of Sælevatnet, first. I the surrounded Bondegården in its south (around Neset). On the other side, I then followed Sælenveien southwards, before I turned left to enter Stokkedalen via Løtveitveien. Looking east, I wondered whether it is possible to ascent towards Barhaugen via its very steep western flank. North of house #90 in Stokkedalen, I then found an opportunity to get up (not really a trail, but it looked as if others had done this before, still). This brought me up to Rekdalsveien, which I then followed southwards in order to connect to Barhaugen. At house #95, however, there's no way to proceed; I thus had to "go around" via Fjellsdalen.
