Short round on Bjorøyna

Date:
31.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.1km

We took the car to the west of Bergen and from Loddefjord along Hillerenveien to get to the undersea tunnel, which connects to Bjorøyna. There, we continued along the "main road" across Bjorøyna (Fv207) until we parked next to the school of Bjorøy. From there, we first ascended to Rundelen across its northern ridge, Bjorøyna's highest hill, right in the east of the school. Once up there -- it's only a few meters above the school --, we continued in southern direction across the north-south going heights. Before eventually turning westwards, we first included a smaller hill in the southeast of the heights of Rundelen. From there, we then descended in western direction (northwest of Stokkhaugen) until we crossed some minor swamp to get over to another hill on the other (western) >>>

Lyshornet from Bahus via Blåheiane

Date:
26.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
7.6km

For some time, we had discussed a hike via Blåheiane to Lyshornet from Osvegen. After earlier having rejected this idea several times, this day seemed to be right for trying this idea! :-) We took the car to E39, passing by Kalandsvatnet, and parkd near Fortunet/Bahus. We first walked along the street southwards for a short stretch, before then turning right (and upwards) near house 623 on the opposite side of Vedavika. After having walked passed the house and a gravel place on our right, we turned left (and steeply upwards) at about 75mosl in order to shift over to yet another valley (one further to the south). This brought us to another gravel road at about 100mosl, leading southwards along the hillside, with some nice views over Røyknesvatnet in the east (and further into the direction >>>

Permisjonsstien and more

Date:
25.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.6km

We wished to try the newly upgraded Permisjonsstien, which leads from Sandviken up to Sandviksbatteriet. Accordingly, we took a bus to Sandviken and first stepped up to Fjellveien. More or less exactly, where one passes by the last house (on the left), when walking Fjellveien northwards, Permisjonsstien starts towards Sandviksbatteriet. While the lower stretches of this trail are more muddy than necessary, the upper parts, in particular where the trail gets really steep, have been upgraded recently (during 2019) and well-placed stone steps lead up to Sandviksbatteriet. At about 175mosl, we arrived at Sandviksbatteriet, enjoying some terrific views over Byfjorden and Bergen. Once done with this, we wondered whether to continue directly to Munkebotn, or in-between include a quick ascent >>>

Nattlandsfjellet from Landås

Date:
22.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.5km

In order to (a) make a visit to Nattlandsfjellet and (b) use some fine winter weather, we decided to walk to Nattlandsfjellet from Landås, starting with Sikksakken, i.e., a relatively steep but nice trail up to Landåsfjellet (from Landås). To find the trail-head, one needs to find a minor side-road of Landåslien (leading up to houses 45C and 45D). Once the trail-head is found, stepping up Sikksakken via Kampen is straight-forward, following a nice trail. At about 375mosl, one meets/crosses another trail that leads in north-south direction along the upper western "edge" of Landåsfjellet. Heading further eastwards, we crossed Ormhaugen and ended up at a major trail that extends north-to-south at the western side of Nubbevatnet. A little further south of Nubbevatnet, we connected >>>

Visiting Tobrik

Date:
14.12.2019
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.6km

Having not so very much daylight at our disposal, we decided to "simply" do a walk in Kanadaskogen. To make this a slightly little bit more interesting, we decided to visit " The other big rock in Kanadaskogen " (Tobrik). We started from Varden and headed first towards Gjeddevatnet. We then hiked along it, continuing to Bjørndalsvatnet, just north of Gjeddevatnet. After having hiked along this little lake, also, we then followed a trail further northwards that leads to Svartatjørna. After having passed this nice little lake on its western side, we continued towards Storamyra. There, a new paved trail has emerged and along with it a wooden shelter for those, who wish to enjoy a dry break very close to Svartatjørna. Instead of staying there, we right away continued and crossed Storamyra off-trail in >>>
