Kannikahaugen from Bildøybakken

Date:
15.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
12.0km

With a really nice weather forecast, we just wished to use the good weather for a nice walk. The idea was to start at Bildøyfjellet, north of Liatårnet on Sotra, and then hike a (squished) round from there (without any plan to actually ascend to Pyttane nor Liatårnet). We parked right next to Bildøybakken, not far from the corner, where one can also drive to Liaskjeret. Instead of using the access road towards the dam of Bildøyvatnet, we aimed at Bildøyfjellet directly (and without a trail). Given the below freezing temperatures, we found the conditions just right for such an off-trail ascent. Within not too long, we then arrived at Bildøykletten (and at the trail, there). We then followed the trail southwards (via Steinane and Vardafjellet). Before descending to Fjellfestningen, >>>

Hananipa

Date:
09.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.5km

We expected a nice day and tought that Hananipa would be a nice goal. In fact, we tought that making a nice round, including Raudnipa and/or Trollabotsvarden, would be a good idea. We drove out of Bergen into the direction of Voss and left road E16 at Trengereid to drive up to Nordre Skulstad. There, we parked and started our hike by heading towards Geitshushaugen, first, and then further up to Åsen, before connecting to Brunane. After following Brunane all the way up, we then continued up to Hananipa via its western ridge. Already at home, we had talked about the slightly steep section from Hananipa down to Sauaskaret; when then stepping towards this section, we concluded that we did not feel safe enough (with all the snow etc.). We thus turned around and headed back down the western >>>

Hausdalshorgi via Edne from Hausdalen

Date:
01.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
10.8km

On the map, we had started wondering whether it should not be alright to ascend to Hausdalshorgi from Hausdalen. With some over-optimistic hopes for some sun, we headed into Hausdalen and parked at the very end of the road, where we often would start to hike into Brekkedalen. The idea was to walk a short stretch further up Hausdalen, before then aiming at a ridge in the south of Hausdalshorgi with the name of Edne on it on the map. East of Langhaugen, where a stream comes down from Hausdalshorgi, we then left the main trail, which leads further into Hausdalen, seeing where it would be best to get up to the targeted ridge. After crossing the stream, we saw with some positive surprise that quite obviously this place was used to get higher up the hillside long before us, already (while no >>>

Løvstakken and Løvstien

Date:
30.12.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.8km

Together with friends, we had decided to use the afternoon for a short hike in the local area. We parked in the east of Litlavatnet in the northeast of Fyllingsdalen and headed up to Løvstakken following the main trail from the parking place. From the top of Løvstakken, we then descended towards the southeast using a minor trail a bit further east than the main trail in the south of Løvstakken. This brought us down to Løvstien, which we then followed (in northern direction) to complete a round back to Fyllingsdalen. Our timing was just right to cross over Løvstakken without any need for head lights -- down on Løvstien, we then took advantage of the installed lights. At the end of the hike, it started to snow, adding a nice touch to the overall experience! :-) Selected photos are available >>>

Kyrkjenibben etc.

Date:
23.12.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.4km

We expected the higher tops to be covered with clouds and thus decided to instead head towards the coast for a simple hike. We knew that one should be able to find a historic connection between Morland and Fjell, kyrkjevegen, which apparently was used by the people of Morland to get to the church in Fjell previously. We started near the church in Fjell and followed kyrkjevegen until we came to the south end of Eidesvatnet. Instead of following kyrkjevegen further northwards from there, we had already decided that we wished to include a detour to Gardafjellet a bit further west. Following a trail around Kvernhaugen (around the south of Liavatnet) brought us to the trail up to Gardafjellet (in northwestern direction). At Gardafjellet we enjoyed some nice views, before continuing -- then >>>

Nice round around Korsneset

Date:
08.12.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
5.5km

The weather was looking good for this Sunday and so we aimed at getting some fresh air around our heads. We headed via Fana to Korsneset and parked at the parking place right at the entry to the military area. Our first goal was Hendershaugen in the south of the road. To get there, we first walked the road back a few meters, before then heading towards the top of Hendershaugen along the outer rim of the military area. Even though Hendershaugen is not very high, it's still nice to get up there and enjoy some nice views. From Henderhaugen, we then headed northwards. More or less right where we stepped out of the forest and onto Korsnesvegen, we decided to continue northwards via the eastern heights of Korsneset (instead of walking back to the parking place). Within a few minutes, we were >>>

Kanadaskogen in new snow

Date:
23.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

We looked forward to a quite nice day with some new snow. Instead of choosing a trip far from home, we decided to simply head into Kanadaskogen and see where it would take us. We first headed north from Varden and entered Kanadaskogen from Hesjakollen in the southeast of Litla Krokatjørna. We followed a simple trail further northwards, which brought us to the southwestern side of Stora Krokatjørna. With some low-standing sun casting light across the snow-covered landscape, we already enjoyed our excursion substantially! :-) From Stora Krokatjørna, we aimed at Storhovden as our next goal, stepping up the southern ridge of Syningen to get there. We then explored the three heights of Storhovden before continuing in northeastern direction. While first going off-trail, we eventually joined >>>

Valesåta, Trollevassnibba, Monsvarden, Målefjellet

Date:
15.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.9km

We had left Bergen early on this Friday to still use some daylight time for a hike on Sveio. Right after using the under sea tunnel from Stord, we turned onto Tittelsnesvegen (in a way to head "back" north, but now above the tunnel). Near Valevåg Camping (on the left side of the street) we found a spot to park (on the right side of the street) and started our hike from there. We first continued along Tittelsnesvegen northwards, passing by Valevåg Camping on the left, until we came to the place, where Tittelsnesvegen forks off to the right. Following now this part of Tittelsnesvegen for about two thirds of a kilometer, we got to the trail head on the right of the road. From there, we used a well-marked trail relatively steeply upwards to get up to a ridge in the south of Valesåta. >>>

Herlandsfjellet from Herland

Date:
09.11.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
9.8km

We had this one day and wished to do a nice hike with approximately 800 height meters. We took inspiration from an earlier approach to Herlandsfjellet and aimed at repeating the same ascent from Herland. Again, we parked near the bridge to Osterøy. We then "went around" to get to the southern side of E16, following Romslovegen for a short stretch (and over E16). On the other side, we followed a short side road that would bring us to the actual starting point of the ascent right next to Kjerringaelva. As last time, we followed the ridge between Holebekken in the west and Kjerringaelva in the east to find our way up to Saurinden. This is a steep ascent, but the terrain is easy to traverse. Once above 150masl, it's no longer "very steep", and then above 300masl it's basically a gentle slope upwards. The >>>

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 >>>
