Up Lyderhorn and further to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
24.04.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
8.2km

Hiking Lyderhorn and walking back to Fyllingsdalen from there. We took a bus via Loddefjord that was heading towards Olsvik, getting off where Olsvikskjenet is connected to Gamle Kjøkkelvikveien. Walking down there, we could easily connect to Lyderhornslien on the other, eastern side. From there, we then ascended to Lyderhorn following a minor trail that leads up a little further north than the main trail from Kjøkkelvik. Once on Lyderhorn, we continued in southern direction down again (into the direction of Skarpafjellet). When reaching the saddle right north of Skarpafjellet, we turned left and descended to the main highway-cross in the southeast of Lyderhorn. On the other side, we then walked up to Tennebekktjørna and further over to Spelhaugen. All in all, a nice hike connecting >>>

Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
8.8km

Liatårnet and Haganesfjellet from Liaskjeret. We parked next to Liaskjershallen in the southeast of Liatårnet on Sotra and walked first back (northwards) along Liaskjervegen until we found the spot where one can ascend to Dansarhaugen (just a few steps above the last houses on the hillside up to Liatårnet). We then crossed Skoradalen, mostly in northern direction, before we changed course after crossing over Bukkhelleren into a more northwestern direction, ascending rather straight up towards Liatårnet. Once on Liatårnet, we started our traverse across the heights south of Liatårnet, mostly in southern direction. South of Høgafjellet, we then came to Kattatjørna. This time, we passed by this lake on its eastern side, also stepping over Kattafjellet. It then was just straight southwards, >>>

Purkeneset from Eide

Date:

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.6km

On a day with mixed weather, we made a short hike to Purkeneset north of Eide on Sotra. We parked near the road and crossed first Varden and Kyrkjehaugen before connecting to the trail that leads out to Purkeneset. From the top of Purkeneset we enjoyed some nice view across Kørelen, i.e., the rather big lake in the west of Hammarsland. After walking back along the same trail, we included a short excursion to Hopen in the north of Spilda. From there, we just walked back to Eide and called it a day. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Purkaneset .
