Burlifjellet and Skorafjellet

Distanse:
11,1km

Driving north from Fusa, into the direction of Samnanger, we passed through Eikelandsosen, first, continuing further northwards along road 48. At Sævell, right after passing by Sævellavatnet, we turned right onto Sævellvegen. Near Høgehaugen, we paid a bit of road-toll in order to continue along Sævellvegen. Driving carefully (Sævellvegen is not paved further inwards), we arrived at Kjøpmannavadet shortly after. There, right next to the bridge, we parked at the side of the road. Crossing over the bridge southwards, we started our hike along a forest road that leads to Breivatnet just a little down the road. There, one crosses over Breielva right next to a small cabin right at Breivatnet. A marked trail then leads up to Helane and from there further towards the lower end of Lisetredalen. >>>

Kletten from Strandvik

Distanse:
2,2km

The evening was nice and with plenty of daylight still to use it was just fine with a short round up to Kletten before calling it a day. :-) The plan was to approach Kletten from the east (from Strandvik) and doing so was (almost) straight-forward. Only once, at the very end of Strandvikvegen at house 529, a bit of back-tracking was needed to reconnect with the trail (that is starting a bit further north). Then, instead of going up to Kletten at once, I first surrounded Kletten via Klettaltanen in its south, before eventually ascending to Kletten (then from its west). After crossing over Kletten, I then descended northwards to Strandvikvegen, which I then followed back to Strandvik. Quite nice that one can see Melderskin and Englafjellet from Kletten! :-) Selected photos are available >>>

Fusafjellet from Strandvik

16,5km

Given a very nice (and warm!) day, we aimed at hiking Fusafjellet from the south, starting in Strandvik. We first headed into the valley between Fusafjellet in the northeast and Bogafjellet in the west, where Vikaelva comes down. At about 80 masl, in the northeast of Nyland, the valley opens up a little and we left the main gravel road, stepping "directly north", aiming at the little saddle in the east of the small hill that "sits" there in the middle of the valley. The plan was to continue further upwards (into the direction of Langnuen) from there, but before we did that we first explored this little hills for a few minutes, enjoying some nice views southwards from it. We then followed a forest road that ascends the relatively steep southwestern side of Langnuen.  >>>

Kjerringafjellet from Heggland and Borgafjellet

Distanse:
6,9km

Thinking about snow at higher elevation, we made a plan for a hike that would not lead us so much up, altogether. Still, we aimed at something interesting: Hiking towards (not all the way up to, though) Møsnuken from Heggland. During an earlier hike, a sign was seen that pointed towards Møsnuken at Heggland (near Hegglandsdalsvegen in the northeast of Osøyro). The map shows an approximate trail (leading up to Hegglandstjørna), but no details are to be seen. Exploiting the fact that we came with two cars, we parked one near the planned end of the hike (below Borgafjellet) and then took the other one further along Hegglandsdalsvegen to park near Heggland. Indeed we quickly found the trail-head, again, at Heggland and started the ascent from there. The southeastern side of Møsnuken, >>>

Møsnuken from Heggeland and Gjemdalsskaret

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 >>>

Rindafjellet from Gåssand (wow!)

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 >>>

Nordra Såta, Tyssdalsfjellet, and Borgafjellet

For a longer time, we had considered to visit Nordra Såta in the west of Tyssdalsfjellet (and Møsnuken). To do that, we drove to the parking spot at the lower end of Tyssdalen east of Tyssdalsvatnet (northeast of Ulven). Instead of following the main trail (up through Tyssdalen), we headed north (or even northwest) after crossing Tyssdalselva. We first followed the road (Tøsdalsvegen) for a short stretch until we crossed another minor stream there. There, in the south of Lyhaugen, we left the road and ascended first to a small hill south of Lyhaugen (with a post of a power line up there). It was a bit steep to get up there and one may wonder what it's worth this effort (or any, actually). :-) We then continued to Lyhaugen (also a bit steep, but also without actual problems). From >>>

Gråfjellet via Solbjørgfjellet from Rolsvåg

Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
14,2km

Expecting a nice day, we made a plan for a hike that would not lead us up into all too much snow. Having seen that Botnahytto (in the southwest of Rolsvåg, north of Os) was registered as war memorial, also, we decided to explore this area, including Gråfjellet in the east of Øvredalsvatnet. We had seen that others had taken the forest road from Rolsvåg (passing Rolsvågvatnet, also called Storavatnet, in its north) to get into the valley with Langavatnet and Botnavatnet. Motivated to make this a round, instead, we decided to start our hike in the south of Rolsvågvatnet, aiming for Solbjørgfjellet first. We parked very near to Rolsvågvatnet (on the east of it) and stepped into the terrain south of Rolsvågvatnet more or less "at once". The ground was still quite a bit frozen, >>>

It had been a (quite long) while since we last had visited Ulvenfjellet near Os (almost 15 years). This time, we considered an ascent from its northside, starting at Drangsvegen. We found a suitable place for parking near the bridge over Vikelva. From there, the first goal was to get up to Søvikfjellet. We ascended more or less directly up towards Søvikfjellet (without a trail and across relatively steep terrain). Doing so, we also crossed over a forest road that comes up from Helleskaret, providing another (less adventurous) way up. Once on the heights of Søvikfjellet, we aimed at Gaddhaugen as our next goal. While heading there, we connected (for a short stretch of our hike) with the trail, which is the extension of the forest road that we had crossed a bit further down. To get >>>

Møsnuken from Hegglandsdalen barneskole

12,0km

YR predicted a really nice winter day: a perfect invitation to get out! :-) Without too much comparison of all the possible nice hikes, I decided to make another attempt to ascend to Møsnuken from the southeast. I had read here on Peakbook about a trail that leads up to Tveitaberget from Hegglandsdalsvegen where it passes the primary school of Hegglandsdalen (Hegglandsdalen barneskole). And indeed there's a proper trail with a well-marked trail head next to house #528 along Hegglandsdalsvegen, which leads up along a curved ridge to Tveitaberget. According to the terrain, this trail is very steep, but just fine to step up there! :-) Once on Tveitaberget, the trail "flattens out" a little, leading then in northward direction. At about 355masl, the trail turns left to ascend steeply (for just a >>>
