Jurefethaugen and Vikåsen

Date:
27.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
4.9km

The main idea was to use a window between some predicted rain showers and to go and have a look at the place, where some 40 years ago two wave power stations were built at Kalvøyna in Øygarden. To make this at least somewhat a hike, also, we parked near Balsvågen right next to Turøyvegen. From there, our first goal was to step up to Jurefethaugen (or Gjugrefethaugen or ...). This worked out without difficulties (we only needed to walk around a rather wet spot between the street and the hill). Close to the top, we passed a really impressive stone wall. From Jurefethaugen, we aimed at Lykleneset a bit further north. The idea was to see if we could make it there via the wild west-side of this peninsula. This worked well, but it should be noted that progress is not necessarily possible >>>

Langaneset from Vadmyra

Date:
26.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.4km

Not much to write. Stretching my legs a little, taking a look at Loddefjord kirke (and also at Frasmers Møllestein). Then exploring Langaneset in Storavatnet. More rain was expected, but we take it with less, also, I think! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Storenuvarden and more

Date:
19.10.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
70.6km

Given the nice autumn weather, I made a plan to cycle around Vidden and explore some minor hills along the way. I started by cycling around Nordåsvatnet (in its north), continuing to Paradis. From there, I took the road through Sanddalen to get to the main axis towards Arna from Nesttun. It started in Sanddalen that I understood that this trip will be special, given a chain that had become quite slippery, already -- the relatively steep part upwards on Sandbrekkevegen I already had to push the bike... My first exploration goal of the day was to bike out Hardangervegen right next to the train tracks on the other, southeastern side of Midtunelva. This works, but the path (or better "path") is not really prepared and biking there with a street bike, for example, is not reasonable. >>>

Bike-hiking hills near Drotningsvik

Date:
06.10.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
32.9km

Given the medium-nice weather -- certainly good enough, though! -- I decided to make another bike-hiking trip: this time into the direction of Drotningsvik, where I knew of a couple of hills that I had not visited so far. I started by cycling into the direction of Olsvik, passing by Loddefjord on my way. In the northwest of Harafjellet, I then left my bike behind for the first time, making my way up to Storhaugen. Given the houses that have been built right up to the "top" of Storhaugen, one does not really get any nature feeling up there. The views, however, are quite fine. Next, I aimed at Godvikaskjenet, approaching it from the northeast. Godvikveien leads up there quite steeply and I left my bike behind "half way up" that road. Once closer to the "top", >>>

Short round at Varden

Date:
05.10.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
2.4km

Despite the rain, some fresh air was needed, and thus I made a short round at Varden. Good to get out for a short while! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
