Sidersleppet in Ulvik

Fecha:
23.05.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Senderismo
Duración:
7:00h

7.6km

With a base near Osavegen, it was easy to simply walk over to the Sidersleppet event in Ulvik. Then it was "just" to walk up and down Apalvegen and visit three cider farms to enjoy a rich tasting of various kinds of cider -- very nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Biking Askøy with Dyrdalsfjellet

Fecha:
15.05.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Ciclismo mixto
Duración:
4:00h
Distancia:
38.2km

After work, we still wished to get out and thus decided to make a bike-trip to Askøy. After following the main bike-route to Askøy, which follows first Kjøkkelvikveien, north of Loddefjord, before then continuing along Sundby Hvorups vei to connect to the large bridge, we then cycled up Stongafjellsvegen to get up to the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. In fact, it was possible to bike almost all the way up and we "only" had a few height meters left to walk, after leaving our bikes behind on the saddle in the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. After first enjoying the views from Dyrdalsfjellet, we then included also Varden at Øvre Kleppe for some more nice views. Once back to the bikes, we decided that we could make a round via Erdalen before heading back. We therefore continued to bike in >>>

To Alvøen and back

Fecha:
14.05.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Ciclismo mixto
Duración:
1:30h
Distancia:
26.2km

We thought that it would be interesting to have another look at the progress of the construction of the new bridge to Sotra. We thus took our bikes and headed into the direction of Alvøen. At Hetlevikstraumen, we used the small bridge to get over to the western side of Mathopsvågen. At Mathopen, we then took a turn to the right in order to connect to Småvatnet a bit further north. Biking along Småvatnet, we then connected to Hakonshellaveien. From there, we then descended to the old main building of Alvøen. On the other side of Alvøen, the continuation was then along Pålaveien and Ramsvikveien further northwards. At Janaveien, the new bridge came into view, first, and from Janahaugen one could enjoy a nice close-up view. Also from the other side, at Drotningsvikveien, looking >>>

To Åsane via Bergen and back

Fecha:
07.05.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Ciclismo de carretera
Duración:
2:30h
Distancia:
56.1km

I had something to do in Åsane and thus decided to extend my bike to trip to Bergen by a detour via Åsane. On my way back, I included a traverse via Munkebotn (instead of cycling around Eidsvågsneset again) and Fjellveien. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Bike-hiking Fanafjellet

Fecha:
03.05.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Ciclismo mixto
Duración:
5:00h
Distancia:
42.3km

We decided to combine biking and hiking, heading to Fanafjellet with our bikes. Leaving our bikes behind at Fanasæter, we then hiked the one round on Fanafjellet, which includes Høgeåsen and Lyseskarfjellet (Linken), returning via Ramberget to Fanasæter. On our way back, we then included a short detour via Fanahammeren, before then cycling around Hordnesskogen. From Grimseidvegen, we then crossed through Skageskogen to get to Øvre Birkeland. From there, it was then along Ytrebygdsvegen back. Nice to comine biking and hiking on such a nice day! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

We used this nice day to first bike to Karlsplatz, where we visited Albertina Modern and the KAWS exhibition there.

Very nice! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Distancia:
9.4km

After first biking from Smolenice to Marchegg and then taking a train to Vienna, I still had to cover some 10km in Vienna. This worked as planned and there's nothing special to report about the route. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Biking from Smolenice to Marchegg

Fecha:
29.04.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Ciclismo mixto
Duración:
3:45h
Distancia:
69.6km

After lunch, I made myself ready for another bike-trip: this time in the northwest of the Carpartian mountains back to Austria. For the third time in three days, I headed first westwards (and into the Carpartian mountains), following the forest road south of Havranica and Záruby. While this forest road is really nice near Smolenica castle, it gets a bit more rough a bit further west (and higher up in the mountains). Still, it was straight-forward to traverse it, even with all the luggage. The descent on the other side, to Plavecký Mikuláš, was partly quite steep, but cycling down there was still possible without real difficulties. I then cycled along road 501 which brought me through Sološnica and Rohožník to Pernek. Further down the same road, I then arrived in Lozorno. South >>>

To Smolenice via Molpír

Fecha:
28.04.2026
Tipo de excursión:
Senderismo
Duración:
1:30h
Distancia:
6.5km

In order to have something to drink on my bike-trip back from Smolenice the next day, I wished to visit the small store in Smolenice during the day. In order to get there, I decided to make a short detour that would bring my to Smolenice over Molpir, known for its historic site(s). I first followed the same forest road as on my hike to Záruby the day before, while turning left this time at the first saddle. Within a few steps, I then arrived at the ridge which would bring me to Molpir, following it in eastward direction. While walking along the ridge, I got to enjoy some nice views from the top of several small southfacing cliffs. I even got to see a small cave. Once past the historic site on Molpir, I started my descent to Smolenice. Instead of aiming at the road a bit further north, I continued along the ridge. >>>
