Herlandsfjellet, Skåldalsfjellet, and Skåldalsnipa

Dato:
03.01.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,0km

This Sunday was predicted to come with blue skies and nice winter weather, and so it was! The day before we had arranged for a joint hike up Skåldalsfjellet to catch a good amount of winter sun, while also having some good time in not too deep snow. In order to cross over Skåldalsfjellet (from northeast to southwest), we started at the north-side of Osavatnet, almost at the very end of Gullfjellsvegen, where many of those, who venture into th Gullfjellet-mountains, park and start. Instead of walking towards Gullfjellet, however, we turned towards Ormarinden, a nice ridge that comes down from Herlandsfjellet in the north of Osavatnet. This ridge has a very nice trail on it, making the ascent to Herlandsfjellet straight-forward and non-difficult. At the very top of Herlandsfjellet, we >>>

Nice round through Kanadaskogen

Dato:
02.01.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,9km

Even though the day was overcast, we still wished to refresh ourselves and thus decided to make a short round through Kanadaskogen. We first walked from Varden to Hesjaholten, following the dead-end road that extends furthest northwards. Almost at the very last house, there's a trail head leading upwards into a small valley in the southeast of Litla Krokatjørna. About half way up into this valley, we turned left and ascended the small hill in the southeast of Litla Krokatjørna. After crossing over it, we descended back into "the small valley", but just to cross it in order to also ascend to the hill on the other (eastern) side. Once over this one, we then continued along its northern ridge, running somewhat between Litla Krokatjørna (in the west) and (Stora) Krokatjørna (in >>>

Knappen (off trail)

Dato:
01.01.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,0km

A good way to start a new year, is to do (at least) a small hike in the neighborhood! :-) We started from Varden, walking towards Knappen on the other side of Bjørgeveien. Going Marineveien down, we decided to explore "the other side" right away (without first walking along Bjørgeveien). Even though we did that without any trail, it still was reasonably easy and within a short while we arrived at the top of Sandeidbrotet (this "short-cut" is OK for an exploration, but will not become our new standard route to Knappen, though). From Sandeidbrotet we continued up another short hillside to Vassteigen, where we (for a moment) connected with one of the trails to Knappen. Instead of following this trail, however, we again diverted into "the wild", ascending more >>>

Liatårnet from Fjell Festningen

Dato:
30.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,5km

Even though it was already a little later on the day (not a great lot of daylight left), we still wished to make a nice hike somewhere in the neighborhood. We then arrived at the following: first, we would ascend to Fjell Festningen (from Søre Fjell), then walk over to Pyttane and Liatårnet, before eventually returning via Fjell Festningen, again. And so we did it. :-) After using road 555 from Bergen towards Sotra (in western direction), we turned left (southwards) on Sotra, arriving in Fjell soon after that. Continuing along road 560 further southwards (from Fjell for about half a kilometer), we soon came to Søre Fjell, where we found a parking place right next to the road. From there, we followed a properly marked trail (in eastern direction), ascending to Fjell Festningen within >>>

Damsgårdsfjellet and Olsokfjellet

Dato:
27.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,6km

With a prediction of rain, we weren't motivated to more than just a short round. We parked near Betanien along Vestlundveien in Fyllingsdalen and headed northwards through Nordnæsdalen. The original idea was to find the little trail -- is there a trail? -- which should lead up to the southern "top" of Holefjellet in the west of Damsgårdsfjellet. Soon, however, we had walked too far, getting very close to the saddle between Damsgårdsfjellet and Holefjellet. Instead of walking back (in the rain), we decided to drop Holefjellet for this time and instead start our walk back (via Damsgårdsfjellet and Olsokfjellet). The ascent to Damsgårdsfjellet was straight-forward (no ice, this time!) and then crossing over to Olsokfjellet, walking around Tverrdalen, was similarly easy (the >>>

Kanadaskogen with Hesjaholten

Dato:
25.12.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,8km

With a somewhat average weather forecast on tap, we decided to "just" do a simple walk/hike in Kanadaskogen. Starting from Varden, we first headed for the eastside of Gjeddevatnet, near the fotball fields and Framohallen. After rounding Gjerdsvika, we ascended a little (in northwards direction) in order to get over to (the eastside of) Bjørndalsvatnet, which we then walked along until its northern most end. Continuing in northwards direction, we then walked up to Svartatjørna. On the other, northern side of it, while walking along Storamyra then, we enjoyed to look up to Tobrik, high up over the east of Storamyra. Walking out this little valley, we ended up at the gravel road that leads up to the dam of Tennebekktjørna. About halv way up this road, we then decided to split >>>

Skåldalsfjellet via Hjelterinden

Dato:
24.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,8km

The weather forecast promised some blue skies over Bergen! :-) So the goal was to welcome the sun somewhere in the (not too deep) snow. After a bit of discussing different options, we landed on a hike up to Skåldalsfjellet (not at the least because of its chances to catch some sun). Since we've developed a taste for stepping up relatively steep mountain sides, recently, we chose an ascent via Hjelterinden, in the (steep) south of Skåldalsfjellet. Leaving the Bergen valley from Nesttun via Helldal and along Grimevatnet, we drove to Haukeland, first, before there leaving road #587 and then following the narrow road to Unneland. From there, we then drove up Gullfjellsvegen until we came to the saddle that leads into the valley with Skåldalselva. We parked (right at the saddle) and continued >>>

Ranen, Midtfjellet, Grønetua, Vardegga, and Ulskebjørnen

Dato:
12.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
10,8km

We thought about doing a hike from Jordalen, in the north of Bergen, including Ulskebjørnen (and Vardegga). To give this hike at least something special, we also wished to include Ranen, a somewhat sidelined hill between Rundemanen and Vardegga, right next to Jordalsskaret (in the west of it). While Ranen is no more than just a few gentle steps in northern direction, when coming from the main trail that connects Rundemanen and Vardegga, it really is very steep on its northern side, facing Jordalen. In fact, it gets more and more steep, the furthre north one gets, crossing over Ranshaugane there, and between 200mosl and 400mosl the northern side of Ranen is mostly cliffs that looks impossible (or, at least, very difficult) to cross. After first driving into Jordalen from the north and parking >>>

Nygårdsnipa and Gravdalsfjellet from Laksevåg

Dato:
05.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,0km

It was time for some new exploration in the city mountains of Bergen! :-) So we chose to ascend to Nygårdsnipa (and Gravdalsfjellet) from Laksevåg. We thus drove around and parked very near to where Damsgårdstunnelen ends on the western side (at Eliasmarken). Within a few steps, we started walking up (the quite steep) Nygårdslien. At the very upper end of Nygårdslien, one can conventiently enter the forest by stepping a little bit to the left at about 70mosl. But instead of following the trail, that extends from there up to the saddle between Holefjellet and Gravdalsfjellet, we crossed over (in southwestern direction) right above the highest houses at Nygårdslien. This first brought us to a little ridge (high above Lyngbøveien). From there, we first followed this ridge upwards >>>

Lyderhorn

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,6km

Aiming at using a relatively short morning period for which no rain was predicted, we decided to "just" ascent to Lyderhorn (when needing a good idea for a nice, near hike, Lyderhorn is a natural solution!). One question requiring a bit of extra-thinking, though, regards the choice of the route up (and down). While already driving towards Loddefjord, we discussed several options and landed on a new ascent from the southeast, i.e., where the highways join south of Liavatnet. We parked right next to Lyderhornsveien, north of Bjørndalstjørna, and walked the few meters to the place, where the highway 555 disappears into Lyderhorntunnelen right underneath. While leaving the road where a simple trail comes down from a saddle in the west, we did not follow this trail upwards, but decided >>>
