Exploring Høvik

Datum:
20.07.2022
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
3,0km

To get a bit of fresh air in the evening, we decided to explore Høvik in Eksingedalen. After first walking along the few roads in Høvik, we started a short ascent to Svedgjeli in northeasern direction (below Åsen), following a stretch of old Reitlevegen through Eksingedalen. From there, we then had some nice overview of Høvik. When walking back, we also explored the wide bend of the Ekso river (in the south of Høvik) that probably is responsible for the suffix of name Høvik. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . On the Web Archive , one can still find information about Reitlevegen .

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,6km

On a day with mixed weather, we made a short hike to Purkeneset north of Eide on Sotra. We parked near the road and crossed first Varden and Kyrkjehaugen before connecting to the trail that leads out to Purkeneset. From the top of Purkeneset we enjoyed some nice view across Kørelen, i.e., the rather big lake in the west of Hammarsland. After walking back along the same trail, we included a short excursion to Hopen in the north of Spilda. From there, we just walked back to Eide and called it a day.

Vardetangen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
5,8km

The plan for this all-in-all comparably wet day was to visit Vardetangen, i.e., Norway's western-most point, when disregarding islands. Driving north from Bergen we passed through Knarvik and continued further northwards Lindås and Mongstad. Soon after, we arrived in Austrheim and parked near Torvneset right next to Ervika. From there, it was then a short walk towards Vardetangen, where we recognized that quite a bit had changed since our last visit (the cabin, for ex., is new and also the trail there has been upgraded). After staying at Vardetangen for a short while, we continued towards Årvika along the northern shoreline. There, we used a nice wooden shelter to have a short break with some nice snacks. At last, we completed a little round back to the parking place, coming by Træsvika >>>

Short double-round in Milde

Datum:
17.10.2020
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
4,7km

The weather forecast was not too good and also there were other things to do, so the decision was to do something near and quick. We drove south through Ytrebygda, crossing Flyplassvegen to continue further south, towards Milde, following road #573. Coming closer, one follows the signs to Arboretet i Milde. We parked near a Kindergarden along Mildevegen and started our walk in northeastern direction. Once in the green, we turned right and towards Nepegjerdhaugen, which is the highest "top" on the island. Then, we turned back into the forest and headed towards Arboretet. We then walked southwards along a nice trail on the western side of Arboretet. At Naustdalen, we turned right (and towards the school there). With a bit of left and right, we then ended up on Lysthushaugen >>>

Around Vassbakken Camping near Skjolden

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
5,4km

After driving from Bergen to Skjolden (for getting started with our five days hike through Breheimen), we "landed" at Vassbakken Camping in the early evening. After eating dinner, we decided to do a bit of exploration and headed into the direction of the impressive waterfall of Åselvi, first. A few minutes later, we were standing right next to it: very impressive (and easy to reach from the camping site). After stepping back down the about 80 height meters to the street (and crossing it), we continued beyond the camping site and crossed Fortunselvi on a convenient bridge. The large amounts of glacial waters had dictated this river's color and opacity: also a nice and impressive view. We then walked a little eastwards (on the northern side of Fortunselvi) to the place, where >>>

Stendörren

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,9km

After a good workshop day in Nyköping, we had the chance to see Stendörrens naturreservat in the evening. Walking along the very well marked trails, many photo opportunities emerged! :-) The complex intermingling of the forest, several islands (many of which small), and the sea makes this place (as well as others along the Swedish coast!) very attractive. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Stendörren is further described at a web page of Länsstyrelsen Södermanland .
