Walk around Sælevatnet

Datum:
14.04.2024
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
9,6km

This time, the plan was to walk around Sælevatnet. I started from Varden and headed towards Bondegården in the north of Sælevatnet, first. I the surrounded Bondegården in its south (around Neset). On the other side, I then followed Sælenveien southwards, before I turned left to enter Stokkedalen via Løtveitveien. Looking east, I wondered whether it is possible to ascent towards Barhaugen via its very steep western flank. North of house #90 in Stokkedalen, I then found an opportunity to get up (not really a trail, but it looked as if others had done this before, still). This brought me up to Rekdalsveien, which I then followed southwards in order to connect to Barhaugen. At house #95, however, there's no way to proceed; I thus had to "go around" via Fjellsdalen.

Pyttane in windy weather

Datum:
03.02.2024
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
6,7km

With quite a bit of weather outside, we decided to "just" go up and down Pyttane on Sotra. We took the car to Ekrhovdvegen in the very east of Sotra and parked near Nordre Stølen, where the service road up to Pyttane starts. We then walked up to the radar stations, experiencing significant weather on the top (strong winds, some precipitation). While it was nice to get out into the fresh air, we still did not feel like staying up there "in the elements" for any prolonged time, thus walking back down more or less immediately, again. All in all, this walk up to Pyttane is always nice (and easy), lending itself well to getting some fresh air without an all-too-long trip. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Short walk to Donaghys Hill

Datum:
05.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
2,2km

While we thought that we not really had sufficient time for an extended hike, this day, we still wished to see at least something along our drive through the Central Highlands. To do so, we followed a sign that suggested a short walk to Donaghys Hill in order to appreciate some nice views from its top. Parking right next to the highway, we first walked along a forest road, before turning right and into the forest along a regular trail. Not for the first time, and not for the last time in Tasmania, neither, we got very impressed by the very tall trees (and the jungle underneath them). Not far along this trail, we then stepped out of the forest and up onto Donaghys Hill. And indeed, it is true that this little hill offers surprisingly nice views, to the far (for ex., to Frenchmans Cap) as >>>

Visiting Whisky Bay

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
1,8km

Our third stop in Wilsons Prom (Wilsons Promonotory) was to visit Whisky Bay. We started at the Picnic Bay Carpark, walking down to the Picnic Bay and Whisky Bay Lookout, first. We then continued to Whisky Bay, which impresses with its colored rocks and a nice beach! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

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 >>>
