New Løvstien

Date:
19.12.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
3.8km

We parked along the road Klauvsteinen and walked from there (first along Klauvsteinen, before then takinng a pedestrians path up to Øvre Riplegården). After walking over the saddle (on Øvre Riplegården), we found the entry point to the newest section of Løvstien. We then followed Løvstien down and towards Bergen, turning around the mountain along with the path. A lot of efforts have been put into making this path a nice one, really! :-) At a vantage point (above St. Markus kirke), we then turned around and walked back. Given the very wet weather, this was at least a short walk to get some fresh air. :-) The city of Bergen writes about the opening .

Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:

From Varden, we walked over the bridge over Bjørgeveien and then up to Knappen. Back, we descended on the east and north of Knappatjørna, before returning to Varden. Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen .

Birje

Date:
19.09.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
12.9km

Starting from a place near Øydvenstod, I first followed Osavegen up to the saddle towards Ulvik. There, I turned left, westwards, and ascended the few meters up to Håheim. From there, I followed the marked path -- in southwestern direction -- in order to get up to Åsen. It's not so clear, where the top actually is -- Åsen is well-covered with a forest and there are a number of ups and downs. I found my way to the antenna that is also seen from Ulvik and from there, via a simple path, down to Vattatveit. From there, I first followed the forest road, but when it turned left -- in eastwards directions -- I left it (to the right) and crossed Trånemyrhaugen (basically without any path). I crossed another forest road and continued (without path), this time up Vetlefurehaugen. On the other >>>

Tennebekksnipa

Date:
12.04.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
3.4km

Starting from Lyngbø, we first walked up the street through Lyngbødalen, up to the dam of Skitnetjørna. From there, we followed the ridge, before we crossed over and ascended to Tennebekksnipa from north. We enjoyed nice views of Lyderhorn and Tennebekktjørna. We descended to Tennebekktjørna, before we returned, following the path through Trongedalane. Before going down, again, on this path, we turned right and up the ridge, again, from which we descended to see Skitnetjørna (which we followed on its western side, back to the dam). All in all, a "small is beautiful" tour! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Skjenestølen

Date:
05.04.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
2.3km

Starting from the last bus stop on Drønen, we walked along the island until we reached Skjenestølen, the highest spot on Drønen -- a short walk, but nice to get out and have some fresh air! :-)

Straumefjellet

Date:
29.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from Varden, we first followed Bjørgeveien for a short distance, then turned left into Kjerreidvika. At the seaside, right opposite to Håkonsvern with all its military ships, we started to follow the shoreline -- first on a path, then directly on the short. At the bottom of Hestabakken, we too a look at a (really) small lighthouse. The area is interesting -- one gets the impression that earlier (during WWII?) some major construction work was done here. After a bit more along the shore, we followed a steep, but easy to climb, ridge up into the direction of Kampen. Eventually, however, we ascended to Straumefjellet, instead, and then returned from there via Bjørndalsskogen. At the very end of Bjørndalssskogen, near house #172, there is a small playing ground for kids -- from >>>

Grøntua

Date:
15.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.0km

Starting from Brønndalen, we quickly ascended to Grøntua -- a small top west of Lyderhorn with a nice view! :-) From there, via Olskvikåsen, a school, and Olsvik (another school), we first descended to Olsvikstallen, from where we ascended to Festeråsen, where still ruins from WWII are visible. From there we went back, once again passing over Grøntua. All in all, a very relaxed Sunday afternoon walk (in great spring weather). Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Grøntua .

Kanadaskogen

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:00h

Quick round in Kanadaskogen -- good to get out and refresh the mind! :-)

Brekkjedalen

Date:
25.01.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from the end of Hausdalen, we walked along the gravel road into Brekkjedalen. First, this really was an easy walk until the snow got deeper and deeper. In the end, every step was demanding, even though we "only" followed the road. Anyway: A nice and rewarding winter trip in a beautiful valley! :-)
