Knappen

Dato:
02.06.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:45t
Distanse:
4,8km

To get some fresh air, we decided to do a quick round over Knappen, approaching it via Sandeidbrotet (up to Eldtona, first). After crossing over to Såta on Knappen, we then descended furthre southwards (via Hesthaugen). Before stepping out on Knappenveien, we saw some (new?) signs near the sports area, suggesting a trail through the forest to Knappentunet. Following this trail, we first made quick progress into the right direction. After a while, however, the trail seemed to cross over some wet area at Hesthaugen, becoming less visible (or not at all, actually). Following our basic sense of orientation, we crossed through the forest into the right direction, connecting to Knappenveien at Knappentunet in the south of Knappatjørna. From there, it was then straight-forward (mostly) to >>>

Exploring some hills near Vadmyra

Dato:
01.06.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
30,4km

After a relatively calm day, there were still a couple of hours to spend outside. The plan was to explore the area around Vadmyra between Storavatnet in the west and Loddefjord in the east. I took the bike along Bjørgeveien and then via Bjørndalsbrotet across Hetlevikstraumen to leave it at Haakonsvernveien, south of Hetlevikåsen. I found a trail that leads up into the direction of Vadmyrahallen (right under the power line). Once up and close to Vadmyrahallen, I turned left in order to make it up to Hetlevikåsen (without finding a trail, though). From Hetlevikåsen, I continued further northwards to find a way up to Høyvikåsen. The western flank of Høyvikåsen is a steep cliff and I first got a bit too far down. A bit of back-tracking, however, brought me back up and further north >>>

Burlifjellet and Skorafjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
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

Dato:
18.05.2024
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:30t
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

Dato:
18.05.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
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.  >>>

Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
4,2km

We were out early to see the early parts of the May 17 celebrations in Bergen. After enjoying the atmosphere and a nice coffee break in beautiful spring weather near Smålungeren, we walked towards Sandviken (via Torget, first, then along Bryggen to Bergenhus, before continuing along some streets further northwards).

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 .
