Svartaberget

Date:
31.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.5km

We parked "on the other end" of Tennebekk, at Nordre Tennebekk, right about the tunnel, basically. From there, we first walked a little upwards in the direction of Tennebekktjørna. Where the forrest road makes a significant turn to the left, we turned right and continued on a path towards Storamyra. From there, it was only a few meters, before we reached Svartatjørna---a really nice place in Kanadaskogen! Instead of following the main path, which continues on the western side of the lake, we turned right after the small peninsula on the northern end of Svartatjørna and ascended in northwestern direction to the saddle, which separates Svartatjørna from Bjørndalstjørna on the other side. From this saddle, we followed a hardly visible path in southwestern direction---more >>>

Engeset and Dyngelandsåsen

Date:
30.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.2km

I parked the car at the very end of Dyngelandsvegen (where it meets Totlandsvegen) and crossed the bridge (on Totlandsvegen) towards southeast (only a few meters from the parking place). Right after the bridge, I turned left (without any path, however), because I hoped to find a reasonable spot for climbing Engeset from there. After only a few steps, it became clear that this was not easy---first of all, moving forward in horizontal direction was difficult, because of fallen trees, big stones, etc.; then, getting up to Engeset also turned out to be challenging (this side of Engeset, its northwestern side, is really very steep and in most places it is simply impossible to get up)! After proceeding a bit towards northeast, I finally found a place, where I assumed that ascending to Engeset could >>>

Bjørndalen

Date:
24.01.2016
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
7.9km

We started from Varden and went down to Bjørgeveien, which we followed until the point, where we could leave the road towards Kjerreidvika (on the left, western side). Down at the sea, it is possible to find a narrow path on the northern side, which surrounds Ørnahaugen, passing by Djupakastet, leading to Hestabakken. There, we ascended upwards---in eastern direction---until we came close to the buildings up there. Before actually reaching the houses at Bjørndalsskogen, we turned left and crossed a small height, before stepping down into the "main square" of Bjørndalsskogen. We crossed over to the other, northern side, where we left the street, again, ascending to the hill north of Bjørndalsssskogen. After stepping over the first top, we crossed over to Kampen on the northwestern >>>

Olsnesnipa

Date:
16.01.2016
Characteristic:
Backcountry skiing
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
5.8km

We parked at the parking on saddle Trollskaret, right about Bruvik on the southeastern "corner" of Osterøy (after crossing the bridge, you turn right right away to get to Bruvik). From the parking place, we stepped into the terrain at once, skiing into an Eastern direction, first. We ascended to Sethaugen and then continued along a gentle ridge towards Olsnesnipa. It's interesting that this is "only the other Olsnesnipa" up there, with the more prominent one being close, at "the Southern end" of the mountain range, which is most prominently marked by Rispingen in the north. This other, more prominent Olsnesnipa is also called Olsnessåta. From the one Olsnesnipa that we had come by, we continued towards Skarvenipa, first, before then turning right (bascially >>>

Golta

Date:
03.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
4.1km

We drove to Sotra and then southwards into the direction Klokkarvik. At Eide, we turned right, into the direction of Glesvær. Relatively near to Glesvær, we turned right, again---this time into the direction of Golta. We drove over the bridge to Golta and parked the car along the road, a short bit before reaching Nedre/Øvre Golta. We weren't 100% sure were "the path to Sandvika" would leave the road and searched for a short while, before we decided to follow something that looked in the beginning like a track (maybe sheep!). We passed through a couple of trees, before finding a suitable spot to cross a simple fence. We then followed a "height ridge" towards northwest, right next to a significant depression, called Trolldalen. Halfway out, we came to another fence---this >>>

Kossdalen

Date:
02.01.2016
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.7km

We drove to Osterøy and then on Osterøy first to Lonevåg. From there, we continued to Hosanger at Osterfjorden, on the northwestern side of Osterøy. In Hosanger, we took a sharp turn to the right, where a sign leads to the Waldorf school in Holanger. Before getting to the school, we parked right next to the graveyard. From there we walked along a simple road, first on the western side of the little stream that comes down from Holevatnet, that leads directly into Kossdalen. In Kossdalen, the path switches sides and continues further in on the eastern side of the valley, passing by Kossdalsvatnet. At the very end of Kossdalen, one finds a place called Gråura, where certainly some have enjoyed camping already---it's just a very nice place! :-) Behind Gråura, Kossdalssvingane start---an >>>
