Mt. Miyanoura on Yakushima

Datum:
01.07.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
7:30h
Entfernung:
13,6km

To include a nice hike had been part of our original plans for our visit to Yakushima. Depending on the circumstances, we also had looked at an ascent to Mt. Miyanoura, the hightest top of Yakushima, but wanted to wait until we would be in a better position to understand the weather, our form, etc. After one nice day of chilling on Yakushima, everything looked good and we made an early start to give us enough time for the there-and-back hike (officially 2*8km according to all signs). To make the actual ascent to Mt. Miyanoura possible for us on this day, we first drove up to the Yodogawa Mountain Trail Entrance at some 1370masl. This drive, already, to the high up end of a narrow mountain road, was a nice experience -- with numerous turns and a close-up impression of the surrounding jungle. >>>

Nakadake (Kuju mountains) from Makinoto Pass

Datum:
28.06.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
12,2km

It was one of our goals for our visit to Kyushu to make a nice hike near Mt. Aso and this hike in the Kuju mountains, north of the massive caldera of volcano Aso, seemed very nice from its description. To get started, we drove to the Makinoto Pass in the West of Mt. Nakadake, but found that all parking spot had been taken, already. A bit further down the road, however, we found a place, where we could leave the car. After first walking back to the pass, we then followed the main trail in easterly direction. Gaining height steadily, we came to a place, where it was to Mt. Ogigahana to the right, and to "all other tops" to the left. Just shortly after choosing the latter option, we then followed a side-trail (without any signs) to get up to Mt. Hossho (not choosing the "main >>>

Hiking down from Mt. Hiei

Datum:
22.06.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
7,5km

We wished to visit Mt. Hiei in the NE of central Kyoto, but were not ready to hike up to it, given the high summer temperatures. We thus chose to take, first, the Eizan Cable Car and, then, the Eizan Ropeway, up to a place near the top of Mt. Hiei. Walking eastwards from there, we first made it to the actual top of Mt. Hiei, before descending along a hiking trail to the graveyard behind the Enryakuji Temple. Walking through this graveyard in the forest, early in the morning, was a special moment. After visiting the Enryakuji Temple (several of the buildings), we then hiked down the mountain along a hiking trail towards the East (in parallel to the cable car that comes up from Sakamoto). It was impressive to see that quite a few others hiked in the opposite direction, i.e., up the mountain >>>

Steinfjellet from Osavatnet (via Vossavardane)

Datum:
09.06.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
16,4km

We decided to make a hike to Steinfjellet in the east of Gulltjørna. After comparing different approach options, we decided to hike Steinfjellet from Osavatnet (via Vossavardane). This gave us also the opportunity to explore the direct ascent to Vossavardane from Songstaddalen via Gasebrekkene. After parking near Osavatnet, we thus first hiked into the direction of Songstaddalen (northwest of Svartavassrinden). From Songstaddalen, we then entered the lower stretches of Gasebrekkene (steep, yes, but well doable -- without a trail, of course). Getting up to the saddle between Hotten in the south and Tjørndalsskaret in the north proved well possible, while steep as expected. The only one point to consider is that it's not all that clear how to avoid a bush war up there (possible, but one >>>

Melderskin from Grønestølen (via Store Laurdalen)

Datum:
17.05.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
12:00h
Entfernung:
11,4km

For quite a while we had talked about hiking Melderskin one day. Would we have guessed that our window of opportunity to do so would open up exactly on May 17? With an excellent weather forecast in our hands, we decided on rather short notice that we would leave Bergen after work on May 16, taking the fast ferry to Rosendal. We then stayed at Grønestølen over night -- what a nice place?! From there, we then started our hike to Melderskin in the morning of May 17. Our plan was (first) to try getting up to Store Laurdalen in the northwest of Laurdalselva (without a trail). We had studied the map in quite some detail to support our assessment that this should be possible (even though the terrain is certainly very steep there in places). From there, we had (first) in mind to continue the >>>

Herlandsfjellet via Geitaryggen

Datum:
04.05.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:15h
Entfernung:
7,9km

I wished to explore a new ascent route to Herlandsfjellet, as well as a new descent route, also. I drove eastwards out of Bergen to connect with E16 at Indre Arna. Right next to the large bridge to Osterøy, I parked the car and started my hike. After only walking a few meters in westerly direction, I passed a few houses at Geila in order to find a connection to Geitaryggen. Indeed, it was well possible and quite enjoyable to cross over to Tverrelva, basically following the traverse where also a water pipe is laid for the houses at Geila. Quickly, I had made it to Tverrelva and crossing over it was also no problem at all. In the southwest of Tverrelva, I then started my ascent to Geitaryggen "for real" (no trail, but very well possible to ascend via this ridge -- yes, it's a >>>

Heihillerhornet, Kjerringafjellet, and Ottanosi

Datum:
26.04.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:30h
Entfernung:
10,7km

We expected nice weather and thus planned for a nice hike! :-) We took the ferry from Hatvik near Os in the south of Bergen to Venjaneset in Fusa. From there, we first drove to Eikelandsosen and then to Holdhus, where we left road 48 to get up to the parking place at Heihillervegen (one pays some road fee for driving up there: NOK 75 plus about the same amount "on top" for "lagring og oppslag" as well as for "fakturagebyr"). Our first goal was to hike up to Heihillerhornet and so we "retreated" from the parking place a short stretch along the road to the place, where the trail starts (there's a sign, also). After first finding the trail head, we still managed to get off the trail within only meters from the road! :-) Instead of heading further eastwards, >>>

Brøknipa from Båtaleitet (back via Borgasætra)

Datum:
20.04.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
8,8km

Probably it was about time to explore the new stone steps that had been laid down along the ascent path to Brøknipa (from Båtaleitet). We parked at the (now large) parking place at Båtaleitet (and paid our fee -- also that's new, as it seems). We then followed the main trail towards Brøknipa and the full parking lot had not fooled us: lots of others were on this trail, as well. While the project seems to be still ongoing, at least to some degree, significant parts of the ascent trail are now covered by impressive stone steps. Especially in the steepest section, up to Middagshaugen, this massively upgraded trail is now very impressive for sure! Enjoying the excellent views, already on our way up, we then made the "obligatory" short break on the top of Brøknipa, also taking >>>

Utapåeggi from Indre Songstad, down Innapåeggi

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
8,1km

We expected some nice weather and thus thought that we could do a short hike, exploring a new way up to Utapåeggi (via Indre Songstad). We thus headed east from Bergen in order to get to road E16, which would bring us to our starting point near Sørfjorden. Instead of sunshine, however, we drove through some light rain on our way there, questioning our weather information! :-) Near Romslo, we left road E16 and parked right next to Romslo, expecting that we would come down there later. To get to Indre Songstad, where we wanted to start the ascent to Utepåeggi, we first needed to walk a bit along Romslovegen (the old road, parallel to E16). Just before coming to Indre Songstad, however, we thought that we could already start our ascent (quite a bit steep there, however). Our first goal >>>

To Bergen via Løvstakken

Datum:
16.04.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
10,1km

Given a quite nice day, we decided to walk to Bergen (via Løvstakken). We first walked up to Orrtuvatnet, before then continuing (further up) to Lyshovden. Next, we wished to get up to Gullsteinen and we did so via Nils Langhelles vei (using a trail that starts basically where the last house stands at Nils Langhelles vei). From Gullsteinen, we then followed the main trail up to Løvstakken. To continue further to Bergen, we aimed at Juvdalen. The descent to Løvstien is quite steep, though. Altogether a nice option to get to Bergen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .
