Bekhilderen at low tide

Date:
20.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.8km

Planning our timing just right, we decided to visit Bekhilderen at low tide. We parked along Telavågvegen and followed first the road Håvarden. This brought us to the old mill at Selståvågen. From there, we followed the trail first to Grunnevågen and then further, on the other, southern side, to Bekhilderen. After having some good time there, we returned, basically following the same route "backwards". :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

From Bergen to Varden via Løvstakken

Date:
15.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
11.7km

After work, I decided to move my body a little and walk home via Løvstakken. I crossed Puddefjorden via Småpudden and then ascended towards Juvdalen via Solheimslien. Right next to Strandafjellet, this brought me up to the heights north of Løvstakken. Following one of the main trails, there, I then continued to the top of Løvstakken. Continuing along the main trail southwards, I then crossed over Gulsteinen to get down to Bønes. Walking through Fjellsdalen and following some more roads I arrived at Nordåsvatnet. From there, it was then only back northwards to Varden along Sælevatnet. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Walk around Sælevatent

Date:
14.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
9.6km

This time, the plan was to walk around Sælevatnet. I started from Varden and headed towards Bondegården in the north of Sælevatnet, first. I the surrounded Bondegården in its south (around Neset). On the other side, I then followed Sælenveien southwards, before I turned left to enter Stokkedalen via Løtveitveien. Looking east, I wondered whether it is possible to ascent towards Barhaugen via its very steep western flank. North of house #90 in Stokkedalen, I then found an opportunity to get up (not really a trail, but it looked as if others had done this before, still). This brought me up to Rekdalsveien, which I then followed southwards in order to connect to Barhaugen. At house #95, however, there's no way to proceed; I thus had to "go around" via Fjellsdalen.
