Biking to/from Solstrand

Date:
27.07.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
82.7km

We decided that, after all the years, it was time for one nice night at Solstrand! :-) To make this a somewhat rounded experience, we decided to bike there (and back). On our way there, we biked via Fana and Fanafjellet, then continuing along Lyseklostervegen to Ulven and Osøyro. After enjoying some nice hours at Solstrand (with extensive bathing, both inside and outside), we then biked back; this time via Hausdalen, then up to Bontveit, and from there further to Totland, before surrounding Nordåsvatnet to get back home. Given the partially rainy wheather, this trip was just perfect as a mini-vacation in our summer vacation! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Storanosi from Ljosno

Date:
23.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
15.1km

The idea was to make a simple hike, just up via Haugslii in the southwest of Brandset to Eggjane and then some round from there. The first task was to find a rounte, which would not bring to much wild interaction with all the vegetation at Haugslii, but with a little luck, maybe, I found some open stretches which offered a nice and pleasant ascent for most of the slope! Once coming close to the tree line at about 850masl, I had to look a little regarding where to "break through" to the heights above, but managed without difficulties. Once above the tree line, however, it became straight-forward and easy to proceed further upwards (to the "top" of Eggjane). From there, I then walked over to Storanosi, enjoying quite a few nice views (both towards the north, across Oppheimsvatnet, >>>

Brekkenipa from Brekkedalen

Date:
22.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
9.2km

As hike number four in this hiking week, we decided to make an attempt up Brekkenipa in the northwest of Stalheim. On the map of Kartverket, we found traces of a trail that would lead up to Brekkenipa from Brekkedalen, north of Stalheim, starting close to the bridge over the stream through Brekkedalen. Very soon, however, it became clear that no such trail is to be found there. Instead, we just made it up the (steep) mountain side without a trail (first into the direction of Fagerbotn). Given the plentitude of small trees, choosing proper sections for gaining height was important (luckily, water and snow seem to plow long, vertical sections of this young forest free every now and then). Even without a trail, we still made it up to Fagerbotn without real difficulties (it's just steep). >>>

Midtfjellet from Sjauseter

Date:
21.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
12.4km

As a third hike in this hiking week, we decided to try out Midtfjellet (from the northeast). Starting from Ulvik, we just drove up to Sjausete, paying a small road fee. From there, we followed a nicely-marked trail to Hellesete and from there further up towards Midtfjellet. Especially in the higher parts of this hike, the landscape is really nice (and also impressive). Right underneath Javanuten, we briefly lost the (in general very well marked) trail, but reconnecting with the trail a bit further up turned out to be straight-forward and without difficulties. Within not too long, we then also arrived at the top, where we were met with truly impressive sights. In the south, Midtfjellet breaks off some 300 vertical meters forming an impressive cliff. Clouds came up this cliff, pressed >>>

Skorafjellet from Solsævatnet

Date:
20.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
13.8km

As a second hike in this hiking week, we decided to explore Skorafjellet, north of Ulvik. We drove up Espelandsvegen from Ulvik until we found Solsævegen on our right. Following this gravel road, we made it almost to Solsævatnet (about 1km from it), where we parked right next to the road block. By foot, we then made it quickly up to Solsævatnet. From there, we then followed a well-marked trail along the northern shore of Solsævatnet. This trail then transitions into a trail which leads up to Rubbelii from where we found the connection to Nedre Skor (this connection is no longer marked, but quite easy to find, nonetheless). From Nedre Skor, the first really steep section starts (up to Øvre Skor); the trail is on the eastern side of Skorelvi. Due to the steep terrain, one can enjoy >>>

Ingebjørgsnuten from west to east

Date:
19.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
16.3km

As first of several hikes, we planned to make a trip to Ingebjørgfjellet/Ingebjørgsnuten south of Granvin. Driving there from Bergen, we decided to also drive up to Stokksel at about 400masl (from Granvin), paying a small road fee, to give us some extra temporal flexibility during the hike. From there, we followed the well-marked trail up Nonfjell (into the direction of Ingebjørgsnuten). On Nonfjell, this trail then splits into (1) the direct ascent to Ingebjørgfjellet (southwards) and (2) another trail which leads "around" Ingebjørgsnuten (into the direction of Oksen). Since we were still playing with the idea to also include Oksen, we followed the latter trail, which nicely leads over the heights to the saddle between Ingebjørgfjellet and Oksen (near Redfjellet). In the >>>

Schneeberg via Fadensteig

Date:
13.07.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:
10.7km

With a bunch of colleagues, the plan was to hike up to Schneeberg via Fadensteig. We thus drove first to Puchberg am Schneeberg and from there further up to the parking lot at the lower end of the Schneeberg Sesselbahn. We then took the Sesselbahn up to Fadensattel to start our hike there. Following Fadensteig upwards to reach the heights of Schneeberg was then straight-forward. Yes, this trail is a bit steep and one needs to traverse quite some rocky parts, but all-in-all it's not difficult (maybe, if you're afraid of heights, and/or not secure when traversing kind of loose rocks, then you should consider this trail with some care). Once above the rocky parts (this stretch leads up some 500 height meters, approximately), the hike continues over some nice green stretches all the way to >>>

Trying some rock climbing at the Bergkraxlersteig

Date:
12.07.2026
Characteristic:
Alpine climbing
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
2.3km

The plan was to try out some rock climbing (with experienced friends) and so we drove to Bad Fischau in the south of Vienna, where we wished to explore the Bergkraxlersteig a little. I first got tested a little (on a stretch marked with A/B), before we walked around to try another route (now marked B/C). Since also this worked well, we made another return to the starting location for also trying a third route (now marked C/D), including one place with an overhang. Even though I was kind of clear up-front that I for sure would not attempt the overhang, my lovely friends still thought that it would be doable and so I (we) tried. Well, I got over it, but it became clear that this was clearly the limit (for me)! :-) After this nice climbing exercise, we then enjoyed a short stay at the Thermalbad >>>

Visiting Zentralfriedhof in Vienna

Date:
09.07.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
14.9km

The plan was to explore Zentralfriedhof, the truly immense main graveyard of Vienna. To get there, I used my bike. We then started our tour at Tor 2 of Zentralfriedhof, passing by the graves of many well known figures, before reaching the Friedhofskirche Zum Heiligen Karl Borromäus, which really is an interesting church to visit, especially if ones likes Jugendstil! We then continued our tour (along further important graves) before returning to Tor 2, again. Clearly, one can only get a very small glimpse of what the Zentralfriedhof has to offer in just two hours! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
