Kossdalssvingane

Datum:
17.04.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
7,8km

We drove to Osterøy (via the bridge from E16 in the east of Bergen), continuing first to Lonevåg and from there then to Hosanger. There, we parked maybe 200m from the main road, where Tveitavegen splits from Kossdalsvegen. We then walked into the valley (in southwards direction), following Kossdalsvegen (on the west-side of Kossdalen). This way, we passed by Holevatnet, first, before later crossing over to the east-side of the valley, passing by Kossdalsvatnet then on this side (always following the forest road into Kossdalen). While most of this walk is kind of level into Kossdalen, one eventually meets Kossdalssvingane at the southeastern end of Kossdalen. As an impressive historic construction, the road winds up about 150hm before reaching the saddle towards Svenheimsvegen. When >>>

Knappen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
4,4km

With little time available, we "just" made a quick excursion to Knappen. After walking down from Varden (to Bjørgeveien), we stepped upwards first on Sandeidbrotet (in the south of Gjeddevatnet). Where Sandeidbrotet turns left (eastwards), we continued on the nice trail that extends into the direction of Bjørgelien. Instead of just following this trail (and the one the forks off towards Knappen from it somewhere "half-way" towards Bjørgelien) all the way up, we experimented a little with the (a bit steep) terrain, ascending on something that only with the greatest optimism can be called a trail (it did not matter, though, and all of that was short and quick anyway). Once on the ridge, we just crossed it (in nice winter weather) towards Eldtona and Knappen. After >>>

Enjoying Tyssøy

Datum:
03.04.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
4,7km

After some back and forth, we decided to "just enjoy the sun" at Tyssøy (instead of doing something more substantial). Taking the deep under-sea tunnel to Bjorøyna and continuing from there further southwards, we soon after arrived at Tyssøy. We parked right at the first parking place (north of Støene) and started our walk from there. This time, we decided to cross Tyssøy's highest point (a small hill of 80m height!), so instead of following the main trail, we stepped into the kingdom of the goats at once (southwest of Støene) and ascended swiftly to the top from there. Even though Varden is not really a substantial top, it still offers some very nice views over the Fjord! From there, we first followed a marked trail down (a little), before connecting to the main trail >>>

A round west of Arna, including Stikka

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
8,5km

With the perspective of a half-dry, half-wet day ahead of us, we decided for another hike not too far from home. This time, our goal was to explore the hills in the west of Arna and Arnavågen. We thus left Bergen towards the east, aiming for Mjeldheimskleiva, where we parked just above Kleivadalen (in the west, a bit above Arna). We left the road basically where it crosses the little stream that comes down there from the northwest (and where the power line crosses the street, also). After some only 50 meters parallel to the stream, we started our (short) ascent to Vårheia (more or less directly in northern direction). On our way up there, we deviated a little from the trail and ascended across the southern ridge of Vårheia instead (also coming by a little cabin that can be found in >>>

Stortårnet and Nilskyrkja

Datum:

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

Our idea was to explore the west of Dala, south of Fjell in Øygarden. After driving westwards from Bergen, we turned south once on Sotra. Passing by Fjell, we soon arrived in Dala, where we parked next to the main road. The first (small) hiking goal of the day was Stortårnet in th southwest of Dala. After crossing a playing ground right next to Dalseidet, we started a short ascent (first without any trail). Once above 70mosl, we connected to a simple trail which then lead us to Stortårnet. Before turning back, we first explored the area a little, including the mobile sender mast in the southeast of the top (northwest of Dalatjørna). We then continued northwestwards from Stortårnet, reaching Ærhaugane soon after while walking over the ridge parallel to Trengereidpollen some 75 meters >>>

Lerkhaugen, Lisahaugen, and Gullsteinen

Datum:
21.02.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
5,1km

With only a bit of time available, we headed for a short hike in the neighborhood. To include at least one spot of (limited) interest, we decided to aim for Lisahaugen near Langegården in the northeast of Kråkenes. We parked near the southern end of Løvstien (at Øvre Kråkenes) and ascended to Lerkhaugen, first. Thereafter, we crossed Løvstien and continued to Lisahaugen (from its south). Crossing Lisahaugen south-to-north, we came back to Løvstien (for a moment), before changing course, again, and then aiming at Langatjørna in the west of Mindebakken. This ascent from Løvstien is a bit steep, but well possible and actually quite nice through th forest there. North of Langatjørna we then turned around, heading back via Gullsteinen. South of Gullstølen, we descended along some >>>

Walk along Sælenvatnet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
2,3km

With just a little time at our disposal, we decided to quickly get a little fresh air and make a short walk along the shoreline of (frozen) Sælenvatnet. After walking down from Varden, we crossed over Fyllingsdalsveien, using a small bridge near the big junction with Bjørgeveien. Once on the other side, we walked onto this particular peninsula that extends into Sælenvatnet on its western side. Following some small, but "beaten" paths, we rounded most of this peninsula, before heading back and up to Varden, again. Nice with all that snow! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

3:00h
Entfernung:
9,3km

Expecting the unusually stable winter weather to end soon, we decided to get out and enjoy both sun and snow directly where we live, doing "nothing else" than a hike in Kanadaskogen. We started walking northwards from Varden, passing by Sælen church and crossing over the fotball fields in front of the FraMo sports hall, we continued into the direction of Hesjaholten, walking along the houses at Veslefrikkveien in their south. Surrounding Hesjaholten in its west (and below it, there), we entered the valley through which the waters from Krokatjørna come down as a little stream. Walking up this valley, we came to the somewhat more flat (and usually very wet) area in the west of Stora Krokatjørna. Enjoying some lovely sun and nice snow there, we walked across the (usually) boggy >>>

To Ternneset in quite some snow

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
7,8km

With all the snow around, we aimed at another nice hike out in Øygarden. Expecting that we may end up in not 100% nice weather, we decided to walk out to Ternneset from Kausland. Driving west from Bergen, we turned left (southwards) on Sotra, passing by Fjell soon after and continuing further southwards. After passing Hammarsland, we turned right (in western direction) at Eide. At Vestrepollen, we turn left, again, into the direction of Glesvær. At Kausland, we turned right (onto Liagarden) and parked at the end of the road. From there, we then started our hike in westward direction. Passing by Koldalshaugmyra in its north, we headed further westwards to get through Lauvvatnet (in the north) and Goltatjørna (in the south). North of Hølshaugen, we then crossed to connect to a trail >>>

After work stroll north of Varden

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
4,2km

We just wished to refresh ourselves a little after work and thus simply "strolled around" in the neighborhood. The only (very moderately) intersting bit of this short walk was that we tried a new "connection" between Fyllingsdalsveien and Krokatjønnveien, where one can find a good number of trees between the houses, almost a little forest! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
