Nice round around Bysheimvatnet

Date:
31.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:
16.1km

The weather forecast had improved and promised nice hiking conditions, which let us decide for a "proper" hike. :-) For some time already, we had looked at Skolmen on Osterøy and now a hike up there seemed just right to us. We drove from Bergen to Osterøy (via the bridge) and on Osterøy further to Gjerstad. Continuing past Gjerstad church and Skistad on Gjerstadvegen, we turned right on the other side of the stream, leading us towards Solbjørg. Taking the next turn to the left, we started our passage through Solbjørgsdalen, before turning right, again, at Rymla, driving eastwards into the direction of Låstadvatnet. After passing by the rather large business area next to the stream that comes out of Låstadvatnet, we parked at the side of the road and started hiking from >>>

Very shot excursion to the local peninsula in Sælenvatnet to get some fresh air. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Klyvsnolten and Lauvhovden

Date:
19.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
7.8km

After a two days meeting at Voss, we wished to get some fresh air before darkness would set in. The weather forecast was "challenging" (loads of rain predicted), but shifted at least a little from day to day. We had not given up, but aimed at something non-extreme to account for the circumstances (limited daylight left, non-shiny weather, etc.). My dear hiking friend Harald wished to ascend Lauvhovden (and convinced me then, also). We took the car from Voss along Raundalsvegen to Klyve, where we parked near Svinåni next to a gravel road. To start our hike, we first followed Raundalsvegen a little further, passing between Øvre Klyve and Nedre Klyve, to connect to a forest road that we had seen right next to Rastalii (leading upwards into the direction of Skori and Klyvsnolten). Following >>>

Approaching Ulriken from Fyllingsdalen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.3km

With a nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to approach our hike by bike (eBike). Starting from Varden in Fyllingsdalen, we first biked around Bønes (along Nordåsvatnet) towards Fjøsanger. From there, we connected to the heights in the south of Storetveit kirke. Following Storetveitvegen, Hagerups vei (around Tveitevannet), and then Birkeveien, we made it to Haukelandsveien, which we followed to the northern side of th hospital. From Årstadveien we then biked along Stemmeveien and Lappen to Tarlebøveien. To focus our hike on higher grounds, we then cycled a little further along Svartediket, before we then left our bikes behind for a nice hike over Vidden . Once back from this hike, we then took the bikes out, again. To get back to Fyllingsdalen, we then chose to take the route via Melkeplassen, biking first along >>>

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

With a remarably nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to make a round over (parts of) Vidden, starting with an ascent to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen. After first cycling to Svartediket (and a bit along it on its northern side), we started to hike not far from Koftebrotet, following the gravel road, first. This way, we passed by Hardbakkadalen and then also Isdalen, surrounding Svartediket on its eastern and then southern side. After crossing the stream that comes down Isdalen (and not following the Isdalen-trail upwards from there as one also could), we continued a little further along the gravel road until it makes a moderate turn to the right (north), leading down to Karistølen from there. It is in this turn that one can start the actual ascent via Ulrikseggen, following a trail through the forest (upwards in >>>

Crossing Gullsteinen to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
13.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
8.5km

After dropping off my bike for a service I head back to Fyllingsdalen. After crossing Fjøsangerveien near the near tunnel portal (for Bybanen and cyclists), I walked up Grønestølsveien to find a way into the green above the houses. After getting to Grønnestølslien, I could not see an immediate opportunity to continue further up. Accordingly, I first followed Grønnestølslien in southern direction until it ends near a littl stream that is coming down from Løvstakken there. There, I connected to a proper trail that leads upwards; first on the eastern side of the stream. At about 160mosl, I crossed the stream and continued further upwards in western direction. After crossing over an old stone wall, I arrived at a somewhat flat spot at about 250mosl. From there, I continued further >>>

Nice hike around Hisdalsvatnet

Date:
09.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:45h
Distance:
10.2km

The weather forecast was OK and it looked like there was a good opportunity for a nice hike in the neighborhood. For a longer time already, the Hisdalen nature reserve had (silently) recommended itself and so we decided to pay this somewhat separated part of Bergen ("separated" in the sense that it's kind of "behind the hills of Fanafjellet") a visit. We took the car via Fana to Krokeide, where we parked next to the road (near the saddle before one drives down to the ferry terminal at Krokeide). We then walked (first along a minor road) into the direction of Austrevågen (in eastern direction), before continuing along the forest road towards the southwestern end of Hisdalsvatnet. There, our goal of crossing the stream out of Hisdalsvatnet was challenged by the large >>>

Lyderhorn (between two showers)

Date:
02.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.1km

Given a rather wet day with showers coming through one after the other, we grabbed the chance of one rain break and included a short hike up to Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvikveien). We started along Lyderhornslien (into the direction of Olderdalen), but then chose to take the somewhat less used route up that has its trail head between Lyderhornslien 120 and 122 (some steps up, first, from between the houses). The trail is by now much better visible and it's easy to follow it upwards into the direction of Lyderhorn (first in southeastern direction, before turning left into north eastern direction). From 250mosl upwards, one can then also enjoy some nice views (mostly in western direction). From Lyderhorn, we then took the more popular route down (first in southern direction until close to Små-Lyderhorn, >>>
