Stongfjellet and Skolmen

Dato:
15.04.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
10,0km

We first had considered Høgafjellet on Osterøy, but since we expected -- probably for good reasons -- quite a bit of snow on Høgafjellet, we eventually decided against Høgafjellet. Since we already thought about Osterøy, we chose Stongfjellet, instead. To get there, we drove to Osterøy (via the bridge to Osterøy), continuing through the tunnel on Osterøyvegen. At Gongerinden, we left Osterøyvegen, heading towards Gjerstad on Gjerstadvegen. Once through Gjerstad (and crossing over the stream), we continued via Solbjørg and Solbjørgsdalen. We then took Hovdavegen, passing by Låstadvatnet in its south and continuing further upwards in southeastern direction. Very close to the saddle, before reaching Hovdo at the end of the road, we parked right next to the trail-head. From Hovdavegen, >>>

Nordra Såta, Tyssdalsfjellet, and Borgafjellet

Dato:
26.03.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
11,4km

For a longer time, we had considered to visit Nordra Såta in the west of Tyssdalsfjellet (and Møsnuken). To do that, we drove to the parking spot at the lower end of Tyssdalen east of Tyssdalsvatnet (northeast of Ulven). Instead of following the main trail (up through Tyssdalen), we headed north (or even northwest) after crossing Tyssdalselva. We first followed the road (Tøsdalsvegen) for a short stretch until we crossed another minor stream there. There, in the south of Lyhaugen, we left the road and ascended first to a small hill south of Lyhaugen (with a post of a power line up there). It was a bit steep to get up there and one may wonder what it's worth this effort (or any, actually). :-) We then continued to Lyhaugen (also a bit steep, but also without actual problems). From >>>

Førdesveten from Vorland

Dato:
18.03.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
11,0km

We decided to hike Førdesveten in the south of Sotra and planned for an approach from the northwest (from Vorland). After driving south from Fjell, we parked along Sundvegen, where one also finds the head of a trail that leads through Grøndalen into the direction of Vorlandsvatnet. Using this trail, we approached Vorlandsvatnet at Vassvika from the northwest, following a trail that passes by Vorlandsvatnet in its northeast. This is a nice and convenient trail that leads all the way to the southern-most point of Vorlandsvatnet. There, one could "back out", again, following a gravel road towards the west. Instead, we entered the little valley that comes down there from the south (mostly). After only about 100m into this valley, we ascended (kind of steeply) to the southeast, >>>

Lyderhorn in significant snow

Dato:
11.03.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,0km

Given all the snow and also the varied weather forecast, we decided to do something not so long. Being not so far away, and always a nice hike, we decided to hike up and down Lyderhorn. We parked on the western side (along Kjøkkelvikveien) and headed towards the trail up to Små-Lyderhorn (first) through Olderdalen. Very quickly it became clear that this hike would be different from what we usually experience (due to all the snow!). At first, some steps of another person could be still recognized in the snow, but this person had decided about half-way up to turn around, apparently. Continuing further upwards was then a nice challenge, breaking quite a bit into the deep snow at every step. Up at the saddle next to Små-Lyderhorn, we then decided to put on brodders ("light form of >>>

Gråfjellet via Solbjørgfjellet from Rolsvåg

Dato:
05.03.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
14,2km

Expecting a nice day, we made a plan for a hike that would not lead us up into all too much snow. Having seen that Botnahytto (in the southwest of Rolsvåg, north of Os) was registered as war memorial, also, we decided to explore this area, including Gråfjellet in the east of Øvredalsvatnet. We had seen that others had taken the forest road from Rolsvåg (passing Rolsvågvatnet, also called Storavatnet, in its north) to get into the valley with Langavatnet and Botnavatnet. Motivated to make this a round, instead, we decided to start our hike in the south of Rolsvågvatnet, aiming for Solbjørgfjellet first. We parked very near to Rolsvågvatnet (on the east of it) and stepped into the terrain south of Rolsvågvatnet more or less "at once". The ground was still quite a bit frozen, >>>

Hæddena, Orrkleivhaugen, and Åsheimfjellet

Dato:
04.03.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,2km

We thought that Osterøy would be nice for another hike and so we chose Hæddena right north of the bridge to Osterøy as our goal for the day. This time, however, we wished to get there via the nice-looking ridge, which is directly about the long tunnel of Osterøyvegen (basically the continuation of the bridge). The map had suggested that a simple trail should be leading up there, as well. We parked right after driving through "the other tunnel" (of Hausvegen, "only" some 150m long, or so) and aimed at taking this trail up to the ridge. In order to do so, one should first follow the northbound trail (into the direction of Haus) up to Vikno (or almost all the way there), before then turning around and up a gentle ridge. Instead, we turned right way earlier, ending >>>

Borga in quite some snow

Dato:
25.02.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
10,5km

There was quite some snow to expect and since we still wished to hike, we aimed at choosing a route that would be possible to hike well, even without snoeshoes. Estimating that Borga should still be fine, we drove to the other side of Vidden and parked along Kvamsvegen near Austrestølane. From there, we first hiked up Sauhola, already stepping through a substantial layer of snow. Once up to Bjørndalen and back to the gravel road that also leads up here (offering a less steep, alternative route up), we turned left and crossed over the stream that continues down Sauhola. Now in a southward direction (towards Nedstaflåna), we started to surround Bjørndalen in its south with the goal to find a suitable route up to Borga in the southwest of Bjørndalen. At first, up to about 400masl, this >>>

Ulvenfjellet and Vardafjellet

Dato:
18.02.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,7km

It had been a (quite long) while since we last had visited Ulvenfjellet near Os (almost 15 years). This time, we considered an ascent from its northside, starting at Drangsvegen. We found a suitable place for parking near the bridge over Vikelva. From there, the first goal was to get up to Søvikfjellet. We ascended more or less directly up towards Søvikfjellet (without a trail and across relatively steep terrain). Doing so, we also crossed over a forest road that comes up from Helleskaret, providing another (less adventurous) way up. Once on the heights of Søvikfjellet, we aimed at Gaddhaugen as our next goal. While heading there, we connected (for a short stretch of our hike) with the trail, which is the extension of the forest road that we had crossed a bit further down. To get >>>

Biking Grimseidvegen (with Storrinden and Stendafjellet)

Dato:
05.02.2023
Turtype:
Sykkeltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
35,6km

This time, we were in the mood for a bike trip. We headed first south, passing by Sælenvatnet in its southwest, before then crossing over the narrow connection of Nordåsvatnet and Grimstadfjorden. While heading further southwards, we included a detour up to Storrinden (this was quite interesting as substantial sections of the road up and down were covered with ice). Once back on Ytrebygdsvegen, we continued further southwards. We crossed Flypassvegen and continued into the direction of Hjellestad. Before actually getting there, however, we turned left (twice) to get onto Grimseidvegen. This way, we had changed direction and were cycling in about eastern/northeastern direction. Once passed Grimseidvatnet, we turned right to get onto Skeievegen that brought us to the other side of Hordnesskogen >>>

Liafjellet, Strandafjellet, and Ravnefjellet

Dato:
22.01.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,5km

We biked to the northwestern end of Løvstien at Øvre Riplegården and started our exploration from there. We first ascended to the ridge in the west of Nilsadalen, following it then towards the south (and upwards). When eventually close to Ravnefjellet (in the west), we crossed over (towards the east) to get up to the southern top of Liafjellet. From there, we connected to the northern top of Liafjellet. Next, we aimed at Strandafjellet via Juvdalen. The descent from Liafjellet into Juvdalen was a bit steep, but still OK. Once in Juvdalen, we descended just a bit more to get up to the northern ridge of Strandafjellet without any climbing. Ascending to Strandafjellet via its northern ridge was then straight-forward and nice. From Strandafjellet, we then connected back to Liafjellet, >>>
