Pyttane in windy weather

Datum:
03.02.2024
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
6,7km

With quite a bit of weather outside, we decided to "just" go up and down Pyttane on Sotra. We took the car to Ekrhovdvegen in the very east of Sotra and parked near Nordre Stølen, where the service road up to Pyttane starts. We then walked up to the radar stations, experiencing significant weather on the top (strong winds, some precipitation). While it was nice to get out into the fresh air, we still did not feel like staying up there "in the elements" for any prolonged time, thus walking back down more or less immediately, again. All in all, this walk up to Pyttane is always nice (and easy), lending itself well to getting some fresh air without an all-too-long trip. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Allestadhaugen in deep snow

Datum:
20.01.2024
Tourcharakter:
Schneeschuhtour
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
3,8km

Expecting that all the (lots of) snow would be rained away the coming day, we took out our snow shoes and made an excursion into Kanadaskogen (in the northwest of Varden). Stepping first around Gjeddevatnet in its northeast, we ascended to higher grounds in the east of Elvareidet. Making progress in the deep snow was quite a bit of a challenge, but it was very nice to explore this part of Kanadaskogen with so much snow. Near Allestadhaugen, we decided that not much more seemed reasonable on this day. Taking Allestadhaugen as our "turn-around" point, we headed back towards Varden (a bit further east than where we had stepped earlier. We still had to manage some steeper sections, but all in all, this excursion into the deep snow was very nice! :-) Selected photos are available as >>>

Longer walk to Rohrhaus and back

Datum:
27.12.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
15,0km

On this day, we thought that it was a nice idea to make an excursion to the Lainzer Tiergarten on the other side of the Wien-valley. We first headed towards Dehnepark, then down to Linzer Straße. After walking down Bergmillergasse for a short stretch, we used Brauhausbrücke to get over the Wien stream towards the other side. There, it was then only a few meters to get to Nikolaitor (and through it into Lainzer Tiergarten). Once in the park, we first passed by Nikolaikapelle, reading a bit about its very long history! Then, we started walking uphill along the Hackenbergweg (into the direction of Hagenberg). After visiting Hagenberg, just briefly, we continued, heading for a nice pace called Wiener Blick (for its nice view across Wien, of course). We then continued to Rohrhaus, before >>>

Excursion to Heuberg

Datum:
25.12.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
10,4km

I wished to get some fresh air and so headed out for a walk. First, I headed towards Steinhof, walking across the green area towards the old fire station in the north of Steinhof. I then continued "in parallel" to Savoyenstraße, passing by the Schloss at Wilheminenberg soon after. Turning left, a bit further down, again, I stepped down Eselstiege (into the direction of Heuberg). On the other side, I followed two streets to get up to Röntgengasse. Walking up Röntgengasse, I got back into the forest (in the southeast of Heuberg). Following some minor trails, I quickly made it up "to the top" of Heuberg. From Heuberg, I then walked along the heights to Jubiläumswarte. From there, I "improvised" through Gemeindewald to get back. Crossing Loiblstraße in >>>

Round via Satzberg and Jubiläumswarte

Datum:
22.12.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
6,3km

We wanted to get some fresh air and thus headed towards Dehnepark, first. After briefly walking upwards "in the bottom" of Dehnepark, passing by the little lake (on its western side), we crossed over Rosentalgasse to start an ascent towards Satzberg. A bit further up, we also crossed Steinböckengasse. From there, it was then basically further northwards to get all the way up to Satzberg. While one can enjoy some nice views across Wien from the ascent, the actual top of Satzberg is not exciting (and also without views, due to all the trees). From Satzberg, we then transitioned over to Jubiläumswarte (in the north, northeast of Satzberg). Then, it was mostly to walk back, first towards Steinhof.

Eikelisteinen on Eikelifjellet

Datum:
25.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
8,5km

We started on our eBikes, first riding north into Fyllingsdalen, and then to Spelhaugen. At the northern end of Spelhaugen, we left our bikes behind, and continued on foot. Instead of following the main route (up the gravel road, into the direction of Tennebekk), we turned right "at once" (into the direction of Lurane in the northeast of Spelhaugen). Even there, we decided that we were up to choosing a quite steep route up (without a trail). Quite soon, we had made some height meters and, turning around, we could enjoy some nice views across Spelhaugen. Once on the heights, we traversed over to the southern end of Eikelia. Instead of following the more usual route (first northwards on the western side of Eikelifjellet's western cliff), we went around the wet area in the south >>>

Lyderhorn from Loddefjord

Datum:
18.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
15,0km

To get some fresh air on this Saturday, we took our eBikes and biked to Loddefjord. In the west of Skarpafjellet, we took a side road up to the transformer station (west of Grøvledalen). From there we followed the trail up to the saddle in the north of Skarpafjellet, following the trail towards Lyderhorn from there. For the ascent to Lyderhorn, we chose the route via Små Lyderhorn, while we then descended along the trail a bit further in the east. Once down from Lyderhorn, again, we basically followed the same trail back to our bikes that we had taken up, first. Always nice to make a trip to Lyderhorn! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Lyderhorn and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet .

Exploring the north of Maria Island

Datum:
09.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
38,3km

With one more day "to go", we decided to also include a trip to Maria Island, even though it not really was en route to Hobart. We stayed overnight in Triabunna, just a walking distance from the ferry quay. The next morning, we took the first ferry to Maria Island. Even though we had not booked any bikes in advance, we still hoped that we could get two bikes for the day anyway. Thus, after a mandatory short introduction to Maria Island, right after our arrival, we first headed for the bike rental in Darlington. Luckily, they weren't yet out of bikes, renting two of them out to us. :-) And this indeed was very nice -- Maria Island has quite a bit to offer and if one only has one day, then bridging distances between sights is definitely much more convenient per bike.

Cape Raoul

Datum:
07.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
17,9km

Plan two of our visit to the Tasman Peninsula was to hike out to Cape Raoul. We thus "switched over" from Fortescue Bay to Nubeena in the west of Port Arthur, and following the signs towards Cape Raoul from there, parking right next to the trail head, at about the end of the road, south of Stormlea. The very well marked trail to Cape Raoul leads first (gently) up (through the forest) to a nice vista point, Cape Raoul Lookout, high above the tall western cliffs of Mount Raoul. From there, it's then southwards (parallel to the cliffs) into the direction of Cape Raoul. We again had luck with the weather and enjoyed walking out there very much. Before actually getting to the southern-most tip of Cape Raoul, we passed by a particularly nice place ("The Gap"), where one (a) >>>

Cape Hauy

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
10,9km

When doing the rough overall-planning of our trip through Tasmania, we had put down two major goals: the "Wild West" of Tasmania as well as the south-east (with either Bruny Island and/or the Tasman Peninsula). While changing over from the west to the southeast, we then decided to focus on the Tasman Peninsula (instead of trying too much in only a few days). Connecting to the Tasman Peninsula was easy and straight-forward from Hobart. We had seen that one can do several, also multiple days long hikes there, so we had to choose. First, we thought that we could explore Cape Hauy, starting from Fortescue Bay. To get there, we had to navigate a several kilometers long forest road (on gravel). While this was not 100% pleasant, it still was fully OK and we arrived in Fortescue Bay >>>
