Trip Summary

To get some fresh air, we decided to make a short hike up Gravdalsfjellet. We started at Betanien near Vestlund in Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, and head first northwards before then turning left (westwards) into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet. Right after passing by Brattheim, we took the stairs up into the direction of Viggohytten. As soon as we came out on top, however, we made a short detour to visit Kjerringen på Nipen, from where one can enjoy excellent views over Fyllingsdalen. We then headed back to the trail and up to Viggohytten before we continued further upwards to visit near Gravdalsfjellet. From there, we took another trail down (in the west of Gravdalsfjellet. After this short detour, we connected back with the trail that we had taken up near Brattheim. From there, it was then the same trail down that we had taken up first. All in all, a nice, short hike with some great views over Fyllingsdalen (from Kjerringen på Nipen)!
