Liatårnet from Li

Date:
11.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
5.3km

We expected some sunshine (not any long day, though, of course) and thus headed for some snow near Bergen! :-) Remembering a very nice winter hike up to Liatårnet in Jan. 2019 , we aimed at Liatårnet, again, but this time via a slightly different route. Also this time, we drove to Li (on the eastside of Liatårnet) and parked near Liaskjærshallen right next to Liaskjervegen at Liaskjeret. From there, we first walked back a little (north along Liaskjervegen) until we turned left (onto Elvabakkvegen). After walking up this road for a few meters, the road splits into two in a T-junction; there, straight onwards, one finds a trail head from which one can get behind the houses in westwards direction (for ex., towards Trollhaugen in the southwest). Our plan was to ascend into the direction of Liatårnet from there, so we did not >>>

White Løvstakken

Date:
05.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.5km

We needed a bit of fresh air and thus decided to make a quick excursion from Melkeplassen, between "downtown" Bergen and Fyllingsdalen. We parked along Monrad Mjeldes vei and followed the signs towards Løvstakken until we arrived at the upper end of Løvstien. Crossing Løvstien, we continued upwards along the northern ridge that leads to Ravnefjellet. There, we decided to also include Løvstakken. Following one of the major trails, we soon after arrived at the top of Løvstakken. Back down, we first followed the same trail, but instead of connecting to Ravnefjellet, again, we followed a trail into the direction of Skitnedalen. Crossing some of the local heights there, we continued further northwards along of the ridges. Before descending too much into the direction of Bergen, >>>

Round around Meland church

Date:
21.11.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.6km

Expecting a nice November Sunday, we aimed at a round around Meland church near Knarvik in the north of Bergen. Driving along E39 from Bergen brought us across Salhusfjorden with the help of Nordhordlandsbrua. As soon as we touched ground on Flatøy, again, we changed to Rosslandsvegen, leading westwards into the direction of Meland and Holsnøy. Near Frekhaug, we turned right (onto the comparably narrow road to Meland). After crossing over from Dale to Meland, we parked near Meland church and started our hike from there. The first sub-goal of the day was Salbukletten in the northwest of Meland. We passed by Erstad, first, and then ascended from there to Salbukletten (into northwestern direction from Erstad). This ascent, even though without trail, was nice and easy! On Salbukletten, >>>

Møsnuken from Tyssdalen

Date:
13.11.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
9.7km

As a small group of four, we wished to some nice autumn hiking in quite fine weather. To also enjoy some views across the nice fjord-landscape around Bergen, we decided to make "the standard hike" up to Møsnuken. Taking E39 south from Bergen, we soon passed by Kalandsvatnet and then Syfteland. A little further south, just before the roundabout at Ulven, we turned left and onto Tøsdalsvegen. In the south of Tyssdalsvatnet, we crossed over a small bridge and parked soon after at the parking spot for hikers right next to Tyssdalselva. Starting our hike on the main trail towards Møsnuken, we crossed Tyssdalselva after just a few meters. Then, after just following the main trail for a few further meters, we turned left to do the ascent to Møsnuken via Linken. This (also very >>>

Nice round around Bysheimvatnet

Date:
31.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:
16.1km

The weather forecast had improved and promised nice hiking conditions, which let us decide for a "proper" hike. :-) For some time already, we had looked at Skolmen on Osterøy and now a hike up there seemed just right to us. We drove from Bergen to Osterøy (via the bridge) and on Osterøy further to Gjerstad. Continuing past Gjerstad church and Skistad on Gjerstadvegen, we turned right on the other side of the stream, leading us towards Solbjørg. Taking the next turn to the left, we started our passage through Solbjørgsdalen, before turning right, again, at Rymla, driving eastwards into the direction of Låstadvatnet. After passing by the rather large business area next to the stream that comes out of Låstadvatnet, we parked at the side of the road and started hiking from >>>

Klyvsnolten and Lauvhovden

Date:
19.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
7.8km

After a two days meeting at Voss, we wished to get some fresh air before darkness would set in. The weather forecast was "challenging" (loads of rain predicted), but shifted at least a little from day to day. We had not given up, but aimed at something non-extreme to account for the circumstances (limited daylight left, non-shiny weather, etc.). My dear hiking friend Harald wished to ascend Lauvhovden (and convinced me then, also). We took the car from Voss along Raundalsvegen to Klyve, where we parked near Svinåni next to a gravel road. To start our hike, we first followed Raundalsvegen a little further, passing between Øvre Klyve and Nedre Klyve, to connect to a forest road that we had seen right next to Rastalii (leading upwards into the direction of Skori and Klyvsnolten). Following >>>

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

With a remarably nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to make a round over (parts of) Vidden, starting with an ascent to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen. After first cycling to Svartediket (and a bit along it on its northern side), we started to hike not far from Koftebrotet, following the gravel road, first. This way, we passed by Hardbakkadalen and then also Isdalen, surrounding Svartediket on its eastern and then southern side. After crossing the stream that comes down Isdalen (and not following the Isdalen-trail upwards from there as one also could), we continued a little further along the gravel road until it makes a moderate turn to the right (north), leading down to Karistølen from there. It is in this turn that one can start the actual ascent via Ulrikseggen, following a trail through the forest (upwards in >>>

Nice hike around Hisdalsvatnet

Date:
09.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:45h
Distance:
10.2km

The weather forecast was OK and it looked like there was a good opportunity for a nice hike in the neighborhood. For a longer time already, the Hisdalen nature reserve had (silently) recommended itself and so we decided to pay this somewhat separated part of Bergen ("separated" in the sense that it's kind of "behind the hills of Fanafjellet") a visit. We took the car via Fana to Krokeide, where we parked next to the road (near the saddle before one drives down to the ferry terminal at Krokeide). We then walked (first along a minor road) into the direction of Austrevågen (in eastern direction), before continuing along the forest road towards the southwestern end of Hisdalsvatnet. There, our goal of crossing the stream out of Hisdalsvatnet was challenged by the large >>>

Lyderhorn (between two showers)

Date:
02.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.1km

Given a rather wet day with showers coming through one after the other, we grabbed the chance of one rain break and included a short hike up to Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvikveien). We started along Lyderhornslien (into the direction of Olderdalen), but then chose to take the somewhat less used route up that has its trail head between Lyderhornslien 120 and 122 (some steps up, first, from between the houses). The trail is by now much better visible and it's easy to follow it upwards into the direction of Lyderhorn (first in southeastern direction, before turning left into north eastern direction). From 250mosl upwards, one can then also enjoy some nice views (mostly in western direction). From Lyderhorn, we then took the more popular route down (first in southern direction until close to Små-Lyderhorn, >>>

Eggene (and back via Raudlifjellet)

Date:
19.09.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.9km

With most of the day overcast, the day's goal was an excursion into the forest in the southeast of Hausdalen. We drove first along E39 into the south of Bergen, parking not far from this road near Bahus. From there, we first walked along the road, crossing Straumen on the road's bridge, before quickly finding a tractor road that would lead us behind the houses (in northeastern direction, towards Storerinden). Once past the houses, we also left the tractor road, ascending to the gentle ridge (Storerinden). Once on the ridge, it was then straight-forward and easy to follow it (in northeastern direction). This way, one gets directly to Høghaugen (in the northwest of Breidalen) with some first nice views into Hausdalen (and down to Hauglandsvatnet). To connect further to Eggene, one needs >>>
