Søtefjellet from Hausdalen via Åsen

Date:
25.06.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
10.4km

We exploited the situation of having two cars to cut short a few kilometers on the road through Samdalen. After passing by Kalandsvatnet along E39 in the south of Bergen, we turned left at Kalandseidet to continue further into Hausdalen. Right before coming to Tømmervika of Samdalsvatnet, we left one car where a forest road comes down to Hausdalsvegen.

Getting there, however, we found a sign that informed us that crossing over there was only possible with the consent of the land owner. Luckily, >>>

Høgafjellet (and Hikletten) from Lonadalen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:

Using Osterøybrua to conveniently cross over to Osterøy, we turn right before entering the tunnel, driving to Bruvik from there. Leaving the fjord there, we ascended to the saddle in the north of Bruvik (and in the east of Brøknipa) to connect to the interior of Osterøy along road 5418. Before getting all the way down to the large lakes in the middle of Osterøy, we turned right, entering a gravel road that would bring us to Lonadalen, passing by Sagatjørna, Midtvatnet, and Blomdalsvatnet. Near the saddle in Lonadalen, where also the trail from Høgafjellet comes down, we parked and started our hike in northeastern direction, following Lonadalen a bit further, first. At Midttun, we passed >>>
