Exploring the Dunes of the Big Drift

Datum:
28.10.2023
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
6,7km

After rounding off the conference in Melbourne, we were ready to explore Victoria a bit. Our first target was Wilsons Prom (Wilsons Promontory) in the southeast of Melbourne. Before driving "all the way" into Wilsons Prom, we started with an exploration of the Dunes of the Big Drift. Following a well-marked trail from the road, we easily connected to the dunes. All this rather large area of sand dunes, surrounded by green nature (and the sea in the west), is a bit surreal and really an interesting spot to visit. Definitely worth the short walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Saturday walk to Knappen

Datum:
07.10.2023
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
4,8km

One of our afternoon walks to Knappen, enjoying some nice weekend weather. While we stepped up along one of our more usual routes (via Sandeidbrotet, continuing to Knappen via Eldtona), we chose a partially off-trail route down to Knappenveien. Good to get a bit of fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Crossing Gullsteinen to Fyllingsdalen

Datum:
13.10.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
8,5km

After dropping off my bike for a service I head back to Fyllingsdalen. After crossing Fjøsangerveien near the near tunnel portal (for Bybanen and cyclists), I walked up Grønestølsveien to find a way into the green above the houses. After getting to Grønnestølslien, I could not see an immediate opportunity to continue further up. Accordingly, I first followed Grønnestølslien in southern direction until it ends near a littl stream that is coming down from Løvstakken there. There, I connected to a proper trail that leads upwards; first on the eastern side of the stream. At about 160mosl, I crossed the stream and continued further upwards in western direction. After crossing over an old stone wall, I arrived at a somewhat flat spot at about 250mosl. From there, I continued further >>>

Vassenden and Store Kongshaugen

Datum:
25.09.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:15h
Entfernung:
8,9km

I needed some fresh air and thus decided to make a short hike through the forest in the north of Store Kongshaugen. To get there, I cycled first into the direction of Haakonsvern, before turning to the right and onto Vassendveien (near the entry to the military area at Haakonsvern). Right below Ørnahaugen, I left my bike behind and started my little forest hike. I first walked in northern direction (not directly towards Vassenden though) and found a nice trail which then brought me up to Grønabrekka. Grønabrekka has some steep sides towards the west, making it really nice to traverse it along its south-north top line. After walking over all of it, I found myself not far from Høghaugen (and not far from Storavatnet, neither). I included Høghaugen via a little loop, before heading >>>

Tverrfjellet

Datum:
21.08.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
2,9km

With just a little bit of time available, we simply headed for a short exploration of the forest north of Nordvik (south of Fanafjellet). After driving over Fanafjellet from Bergen, we parked along road 5158 just northeast of Nordvik. From there, we proceeded right into the forest (in western direction), coming by Klubnehaugen in its north only a short while later, before entering the valley of Moldstigen north of Nordvik. Instead of following the main trail up this valley, we ascended into the direction of Tverrfjellet, leaving the valley in western direction. After a bit of an ascent through the forest, we arrived first at a smaller side-top of Tverrfjellet in its southeast. Even though we already had some nice views from there (between the trees), we still made it across a little wet >>>

Urdanipa

Datum:
13.07.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
1,8km

After our longer hike on Ytre Sula , we still had some appetite and thus decided to pay the north of Sula a short evening visit. Driving eastwards on road 606, passing by Hardbakke along the way, we surrounded Pollatinden and then Hagefjorden (both in their south), before coming close to Ulvegreina. North of that mountain, we then left road 606, turning left (into northern direction, towards Hersvikbygda and Leknessundet). While briefly considering to make a quick hike up to Husefjellet (in the southeast of Hersvikbygda), we then decided to "just" do Urdanipa (south of Leknessundet). The road towards Leknessundet gets actually quite near to Urdanipa, passing over a small saddle in the west of this little top. Finding a suitable place for parking the car, however, is not 100% easy as the road is very >>>

Exploring Knappen near Kallestad

Datum:
04.07.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
6,7km

The plan was to use a nice, warm summer day and hike into the north of Kallestad. We parked next to Grendahuset in Kallestad and first walked the street back northwards until we came to Sjoartjørna. Where Kallestadvikvegen turns around this little lake (in its west), a trail heads off in northwestern direction. After only a few meters, already, one has the choice between going directly to Storhaugen, or ascending to Austre Storhaugen, first. We did the latter, heading up to Austre Storhaugen, first, enjoying some nice views, including one back down to Sjoartjørna. From Austre Storhaugen, one can then connect to Storhaugen via a steep descent, first, and then joining the trail that comes around Austre Storhaugen in its south. From Vestre Storhaugen, just a few meters in the west of Storhaugen, >>>

Kongevegen and Kvinnestigen

Datum:
13.06.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,8km

Given another rather wet day and limited time, we decided to do another "low lands" walk, exploring some local history. This lead to starting in Oppheim and following the historic Kongevegen down to Vinje (kind of "parallel" to E16 lower down in Vinjadalen, after first "short-cutting" Høgåsen on its northern side). Once arrived in Øvre Vinjo, a little above Vinje, we decided to connect "on a higher level" to Kvinnestigen. Once we arrived there (at about 400mosl), we turned right (in northeastern direction) and started the relatively steep ascent along Kvinnestigen (on a good trail!). Once above approximately 500mosl, the trail flattens out a little, and soon later we came to another trail-crossing, where we turned right, again, in order to follow >>>

Around Brandsetstølen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
6,9km

Given a significant, not very high cloud cover and intermittent precipitation, we decided to go for a not too long walk, not too high up the mountain side. This still lead to a nice little round near Brandset! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
