Torneberget

Date:
13.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.4km

While my son played some soccer at Slåtthaug, I made a quick ascent to nearby Torneberget -- it's a not-at-all-prominent peak in front of Smøråsfjellet, towards Bergen, with selected views northwards over Bergen. Descending towards Slåtthaug, without any path through the woods, was a little bit challenging, because descending finally towards the houses of Smøråsflaten proved to be very steep (just a few meters, bust still).

Solbakkafjellet

Date:
07.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
12.2km

Easy afternoon hike with some nice views! Starting from Bjøllehaugane, first in direction south-east, before entering the ridge up to Solbakkafjellet, it's easy to find (if you take the right turns -- a few paths lead other ways!). On the top, which is stretched out quite a bit, a few nice views over Bergen and nearby mountains (Sveningen, Hausdalshorgi, Sydpolen, etc.) are possible. Down, we first continued towards Frotveitvatnet, before turning left and back (in parallel, south-east to the "main road" into Bontveit). The last stretch -- from Lonsmoget to Almeland -- we made through a pretty magical forest! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Solbakkafjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Solbakkafjellet .

Raudlifjellet

Date:
16.08.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.8km

Nice small tour up Raudlifjellet (via Nordhordlandskulten) from Tømmernes -- the path is not easy to find at once, but once one has found it (also not difficult), it's nice and easy to the top(s). Some nice views towards Kalandsvatnet and towards Os. Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Raudlifjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Raudlifjellet (Sælefjellet) .

Grindaflethytta

Date:
23.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
15:00h
Distance:
43.7km

Two days tour from Ljosanbotn (arrival with the train from Bergen) -- first day to Grindflethytta (via a really well marked trail, including three summer bridges); then, next day, first along the marked trail towards Fyre (up to the pass near Stangahøgdi, where the trail starts to descend into Øvsthusdalen), before then following the ridge up to Kaldanuten (no trail along this part) and then down (via Bjørndalsvatnet) into Bjørndalen and out to Brandset. An intense hike, alltogether: about 42km and about 15h out in the beautiful nature. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Oksen

Date:
19.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
10.2km

Beautiful tour up and down Oksen -- in fantastic summer weather! :-) We started from the parking place right above Tjoflot (at about 200m above the fjord) and took the (nice!) path via Vindhovden up to Oksen (we made the top, roughly 1000m above the parking place, after about 100mins.). We then continued to Veten and enjoyed the views and a break there! :-) Then back to Tjoflot, more or less the same path. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Hillefjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
10.1km

Someone (Leif Algerøy?) has put really a lot of effort into preparing nice hiking choices on Algrøyna -- wow! :-) The tour to Sandeie is really worth the lengthy approach (driving to Algrøyna)! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Fedje

Date:
12.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
12.7km

Nice summer hike around Fedje. The historic site (in the northwest of Fedje) is also quite interesting -- telling from hard times, not too long ago... Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Taking the fast ferry from Hammerfest (check the schedule as this ferry is not going equally every day!) to Akkarfjord and hiking from there -- great experience! :-)

Evening excursion from Hammerfest

Date:
01.07.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.4km

After arriving in Hammerfest quite late this day, I only made a quick and medium-short hike in the hills nearby the city. It was interesting to see, how Hammerfest struggles with all the reindeer around (having built a major fence, not at the least, for example). And, yes, you meet many of them just a "few steps" away from the city... Note: I found it interesting that I could not find out, whether the tops, which I visited, have any names (and if so, which ones) -- if anyone knows, then please let me know! :-)

Skattørfjellet

Date:
27.06.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.3km

Starting from Skattøra (right after the bridge to Skjervøya), we first read about some interesting history of Skattøra, before we ascend to Skattørfjellet (no path, partially a bit of climbing and some minor bush war). Fantastic view from the top! :-)
