Schober & Frauenkopf

Dato:
09.07.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:45t
Distanse:
3,6km

We parked right next to Forsthaus Wartenfels and ascended to the ruin Wartenfels that towers above the Forsthaus (only a few minutes up). From there, it is a quick ascent up to Schober, from where one enjoyes exceptional views in all directions. The matter of fact that Schober is kind of the northernmost (somehow) higher mountain frees extended views in many directions! From there, we connected to Frauenkopf, which is only a few steps away from Schober. From there, one gets back to Forsthaus Wartenfels via a good-to-walk path, mostly through the forest underneath Schober. In total, this hike is short and rewarding. At a few places, there are steel ropes that help to ascend/descend and at some very few places you have to watch you step, when getting up, down, or around. With a little >>>

Grosser & Kleiner Sonnstein

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
5,5km

We started with two cars, leaving one a small parking spot south of Traunkirchen (if you drive from north, for ex., Gmunden, in the driection of Bad Ischl, then you first cut short Traunkirchen through a tunnel -- shortly afterwards you pass through a very short new tunnel and then the parking spot is on the right). Then we drove further, with the other car, towards Ebensee. As soon as we entered Ebensee, even before crossing the Traun, we turned right at the first opportunity (onto Hauptstrasse). After only a short distance -- basically at the first regular option to turn right, again -- we turned right (onto Langbarthstrasse). From there, we turn right again, into Kirchengasse -- this turn is not obvious (the turn is very sharp and Kirchengasse is very narrow). Right next to the church >>>

From Flaktveit to Fløyen

Distanse:
14,1km

We took bus #4 to Flaktveit and left shortly before the last bus stop. First, we headed in the wrong direction (towards Ulsberglia), probably confused by the many swings, which the bus took, before approaching it final bus stop -- quite embarrassing! :-) But soon we found out, realigning our hike (now in southern direction!), heading towards Hjortland, first. Right after Søre Hjortland and shortly before Grønstølen, we found the path that leads up to the ridge high above Vinddalen. Once up there, one enjoys magnificent views, both towards west via Vinddalen and towards east! From there, heading mostly south, one gets up via Ørnafjellet to a longer ridge that leads to Vikinghytten -- a really nice part of this hike! From Vikinghytten, we headed towards Rundemannen, mostly in western >>>

Hetlebakksåta and Birkelandsnipa

Dato:
27.06.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:19t
Distanse:
10,1km

I parked in Breistein, near the place, where the ferry leaves to Osterøy. Right from there, I found a simple path through the forest up to a paved forest path, which lead me first in northwestern direction. After a turn to the left, I found the path towards Hetlebakksåta -- easily visible -- leaving to the left. I followed this (nice!) path upwards, first via Nuken, then Fjellbruna, towards Fjellsteinen, where a beautiful small lake is formed by a dam. Easily and quickly, I continued upwards to Hetlebakksåta, from where I enjoyed nice views in all directions (mostly towards south, west, and north, though). From there, I descended, first in southern direction, then turning right and continuing in northwestern direction, towards Hetlebakka. I followed a narrow street to the other side, >>>

Hetta from Fyre

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,3km

We left our car at the E16, right next to the bridge, which leads to Fyre. There is also a pointer towards Grindaflethytta (along a marked hiking path). Around Fyre, we first walked on a farming road, before we followed the sign that lead us to the left and up (primarily following the main path towards Grindflethytta). After a short distance, the path turns left, before it then, at about 400masl, turns right again. Exactly in this other turn, we continued northwards on what previously was a forest road (we basically walked the whole forest road in between numerous young and small trees that had started to grow on this road -- seemingly not used to often! :-)). We followed this road until it ends right next to a stream that comes down Trolladalen, separating Stalheimsnipa (on the other, >>>

Bont from Jordalen

Distanse:
3,4km

Leaving Nærøydalen (just underneath Stalheim) to the north, we entered Jordalen through the steep, narrow and slippery tunnels that lead from about 130m above sealevel (in Nærøydalen) up to Jordalen (on about 420masl) -- quite impressive to start with! :-) We then drove up to the first farm on the eastern side of the valley (at about 520masl). From there, we first followed a forest path, leading gently upwards in a northeastern direction. We crossed a fence and then ascended (more or less following the steepest possible path) towards the east, later more towards SE. We passed a place that is called Bont (almost flat), before we continued towards Fossaholena. All in all, we did not get up to significant heights -- instead, we met an increasing amount of snow and since we did not have >>>

Storrinden

Distanse:
3,1km

Leaving Kokstadvegen to Storrinden, a parking place was found after about 100m. From there, it's just following a gravel road up to the "top" (at times, one can follow a trail, which is easy to find and follow). On the top, one sees (a bit) towards the east and north (even though the trees are too high to really have a good view). On the other side, one can look down onto Flesland airport, which is a worthwhile experience! :-) All in all, this really is an easy and quick tour (45mins., or so).

Herlandsfjellet via Skåldalsnipa and Skåldalsfjellet

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,7km

Driving up Gullfjellsvegen, which leads to the parking place right next to Osavatnet, we parked already early, where a small street leaves to the left, up Skålsdalen. We first followed this small street, which steeply winds towards a few houses. Before the very end of the asphalt road, we left towards the left, first along a simple tracktor track, then across the steep medow up towards the ridge, which then leads up to Skåldalsnipa. On the ridge, we connected to a simple path, which nicely lead us up to Skåldalsnipa -- the last meters underneath a material lift, which extends there from Skålsdalen. From Skåldalsnipa, we continued via the heights, mostly in a northeasterly direction and quite a bit into the direction of Arna / Reppadalen. Then we crossed Larsmyren -- quite wet indeed! >>>
