Kanadaskogen in new snow

Dato:
23.11.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
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

Distanse:
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

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
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

Dato:
27.10.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
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

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
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 .

Instenova and Ytstenova on Alden

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
6,2km

We had stayed on Værøyna over night and then could borrow a small boat to get over to Alden. We "parked" the boat at the main quay in Aldevågen and started our hike from there. Following the one trail that leads up to the top(s) of Alden, we made quick progress -- the terrain is very steep, but the trail is very good and easy to step up. Once up to about 300 masl, we headed towards the hightest peak on Alden, Instenova, in the East of the island. Following the main trail, we could nicely make it to the top without any difficulties. Clearly, one gets lots of great views from the heights on Alden -- very nice! :-) After our visit to Instenova, we then wished to also see "the other top", Ytstenova, on Alden. To get there, we crossed over the heights, passing by the >>>

Skåldalsnipa direttissima via Moldalia

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,1km

The idea was to ascend to Skåldalsnipa "direttissima" via Moldalia. Why not? Not a good idea on a wet day -- probably true. Still, this is what happened anyway. Consider with care, if you -- for whatsoever reason -- wished to do the same. From the road with name Moldalia it was first "gently upwards" in eastern direction, walking along a proper forest road / trail. As soon as after passing by the last houses, however, it was into the forest and up the slope. From this point, and up to Skåldalsnipa, it was then mostly a climbing effort using all four extremities. Also, there was quite some vegetation to get around. Quite a bit of this vegetation, however, was also helpful to provide some additional grip. Once above about 500 masl (and there above the tree line), >>>

Kongsberg north of Ulvik

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,1km

With relatively low-hanging clouds, we aimed at a simple hike that would remain beneath the clouds, but still offer some nice views, hopefully. After some consideration, we thought that hiking up to Kongsberg near Ulvik could be a good solution. We took the road up from Ulvik to Aurdal and parked right next to the road right after passing over Verafossen. From there, we then followed a forest road that lead initially into Seljestidalen, before then winding up towards Klyvhals on the southeastern side of this valley. South of Røyneskor, this forest road leads then westwards (to Vestrheimskleppe). There, one eventually gets to see over the treetops further below and down to Ulvikafjorden. To continue further upwards to Kongsberg it is then mostly to just follow the forest road further. >>>

From Odda to Buardalen via Ruklenuten

Turlengde:
8:00t
Distanse:
12,1km

We wished to make a nice hike from Odda and found Eidesnuten as a worthwhile hiking target, promising nice views in multiple directions. Starting from Eidesåsen, some 250masl and about 150 heights meters above Eide in the south of Odda, we followed a very well-marked trail. Even though one may expect more hikers on such a well-treated trail, we did not meet anyone. Within not too long, we arrived at Eidesnuten and found that our expectations regarding the views were indeed well-founded. Not only could we see northwards and out Hardangerfjorden, north of Odda, as well as southwards, across the large lake Sandvinvatnet, but also we got some nice views over to Buarbreen, already from Eidesnuten. From Eidesnuten, our goal had been to ascend further upwards to Ruklenuten (in the northwest >>>

Vikanuten

Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
9,1km

We left work early on this Friday and managed to start hiking around 15h15 right next to road #49 in the southwest of Jondal, where Renndalen comes down from Vikanuten. We followed the very well marked trail upwards, first on the east-side of Renndalen. At about 200masl, we crossed Gjelet to the western side of the valley, continuing our (steep) ascent to Vikanuten then this side. The trail upwards is well-marked and easy to find -- it's definitely steep, but no climbing is necessary (near the top, a few times it is helpful to use a hand in addition for additional stability, though). Especially once above the tree line (maybe around 650masl), one can enjoy marvelous views across Hardangerfjorden from this ascent. Roughly 1050masl, one finds a nice cairn which is marking a particularly >>>
