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 >>>

Bergen city walk on May 17

Dato:
17.05.2024
Turtype:
Spasertur
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. >>>

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.
