Double-round to Alvøen

Date:
28.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
28.8km

Even though I had a lot of work to do, still, I could not resist the nice weather and needed to get out, at least a little! Getting onto my eBike, I decided to visit Alvøen (once again) and check out a few of the smaller hills there. To get there, I decided to pass by Tennebekk, first. I thus biked first north in Fyllingsdalen and at Spelhaugen I got onto the gravel road that leads up to Tennebekk. On the other side, I turned south (southwest), again. Passing by Loddefjord, I aimed at Hilleren in the southwest of Haakonsvern. Once past Mathopen, I connected to Skarelien, which brought me up to Hilrafjellet by basically cycling a "full round" around it, first. From Hilrafjellet, I enjoyed some proper views, before I continued to check out Medhaugen next. While I could also >>>

Round around Meland church

Date:
21.11.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.6km

Expecting a nice November Sunday, we aimed at a round around Meland church near Knarvik in the north of Bergen. Driving along E39 from Bergen brought us across Salhusfjorden with the help of Nordhordlandsbrua. As soon as we touched ground on Flatøy, again, we changed to Rosslandsvegen, leading westwards into the direction of Meland and Holsnøy. Near Frekhaug, we turned right (onto the comparably narrow road to Meland). After crossing over from Dale to Meland, we parked near Meland church and started our hike from there. The first sub-goal of the day was Salbukletten in the northwest of Meland. We passed by Erstad, first, and then ascended from there to Salbukletten (into northwestern direction from Erstad). This ascent, even though without trail, was nice and easy! On Salbukletten, >>>

Ørnafjellet (and Lyderhorn) the "wild" way

Date:
14.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
17.6km

After a very nice "standard" hike to Møsnuken the day before, we wished to use the second nice weekend day for another, maybe a bit more "experimental" hike. For some time already, we had asked ourselves, whether it is possible to ascend Ørnafjellet near Lyderhorn "direttissima" from Banuren. This Sunday, we thought to try this idea. We took our eBikes and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After rounding Svartaberget and Bjørndalstjørna, we cycled northwards on the eastside of Lyderhorn, passing by Liavatnet. On the northeastern side of Lianakken, we turned left and onto Banuren, leading us up to the houses of Banuren. Between Søre Banuren and Nordre Banuren, where one major trail from Lyderhorn comes down, we left our bikes behind, starting >>>

Møsnuken from Tyssdalen

Date:
13.11.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
9.7km

As a small group of four, we wished to some nice autumn hiking in quite fine weather. To also enjoy some views across the nice fjord-landscape around Bergen, we decided to make "the standard hike" up to Møsnuken. Taking E39 south from Bergen, we soon passed by Kalandsvatnet and then Syfteland. A little further south, just before the roundabout at Ulven, we turned left and onto Tøsdalsvegen. In the south of Tyssdalsvatnet, we crossed over a small bridge and parked soon after at the parking spot for hikers right next to Tyssdalselva. Starting our hike on the main trail towards Møsnuken, we crossed Tyssdalselva after just a few meters. Then, after just following the main trail for a few further meters, we turned left to do the ascent to Møsnuken via Linken. This (also very >>>

Nice round around Bysheimvatnet

Date:
31.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:30h
Distance:
16.1km

The weather forecast had improved and promised nice hiking conditions, which let us decide for a "proper" hike. :-) For some time already, we had looked at Skolmen on Osterøy and now a hike up there seemed just right to us. We drove from Bergen to Osterøy (via the bridge) and on Osterøy further to Gjerstad. Continuing past Gjerstad church and Skistad on Gjerstadvegen, we turned right on the other side of the stream, leading us towards Solbjørg. Taking the next turn to the left, we started our passage through Solbjørgsdalen, before turning right, again, at Rymla, driving eastwards into the direction of Låstadvatnet. After passing by the rather large business area next to the stream that comes out of Låstadvatnet, we parked at the side of the road and started hiking from >>>

Very shot excursion to the local peninsula in Sælenvatnet to get some fresh air. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Klyvsnolten and Lauvhovden

Date:
19.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
7.8km

After a two days meeting at Voss, we wished to get some fresh air before darkness would set in. The weather forecast was "challenging" (loads of rain predicted), but shifted at least a little from day to day. We had not given up, but aimed at something non-extreme to account for the circumstances (limited daylight left, non-shiny weather, etc.). My dear hiking friend Harald wished to ascend Lauvhovden (and convinced me then, also). We took the car from Voss along Raundalsvegen to Klyve, where we parked near Svinåni next to a gravel road. To start our hike, we first followed Raundalsvegen a little further, passing between Øvre Klyve and Nedre Klyve, to connect to a forest road that we had seen right next to Rastalii (leading upwards into the direction of Skori and Klyvsnolten). Following >>>

Approaching Ulriken from Fyllingsdalen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.3km

With a nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to approach our hike by bike (eBike). Starting from Varden in Fyllingsdalen, we first biked around Bønes (along Nordåsvatnet) towards Fjøsanger. From there, we connected to the heights in the south of Storetveit kirke. Following Storetveitvegen, Hagerups vei (around Tveitevannet), and then Birkeveien, we made it to Haukelandsveien, which we followed to the northern side of th hospital. From Årstadveien we then biked along Stemmeveien and Lappen to Tarlebøveien. To focus our hike on higher grounds, we then cycled a little further along Svartediket, before we then left our bikes behind for a nice hike over Vidden . Once back from this hike, we then took the bikes out, again. To get back to Fyllingsdalen, we then chose to take the route via Melkeplassen, biking first along >>>

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

With a remarably nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to make a round over (parts of) Vidden, starting with an ascent to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen. After first cycling to Svartediket (and a bit along it on its northern side), we started to hike not far from Koftebrotet, following the gravel road, first. This way, we passed by Hardbakkadalen and then also Isdalen, surrounding Svartediket on its eastern and then southern side. After crossing the stream that comes down Isdalen (and not following the Isdalen-trail upwards from there as one also could), we continued a little further along the gravel road until it makes a moderate turn to the right (north), leading down to Karistølen from there. It is in this turn that one can start the actual ascent via Ulrikseggen, following a trail through the forest (upwards in >>>

Crossing Gullsteinen to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
13.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
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 >>>
