Liafjellet, Strandafjellet, and Ravnefjellet

Date:
22.01.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
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, >>>

Olsokfjellet, Damsgårdsfjellet, and Gravdalsfjellet

Date:
21.01.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.6km

With limited time available, we decided to do a short hike not far from home. We parked next to Betanien in the north of Fyllingsdalen and started our hike in the direction of Nordnæsdalen. Next the playing field next to Nordnæshytten, we turned right and started our ascent towards Olsokfjellet from there. Due to the snow and ice, it was good to use brodder (light version of crampons). From Olsokfjellet, we then continued to Damsgårdsfjellet (around Tverrdalen). Via Skaret, we then continued further into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet, including also Holefjellet and Nygårdsnipa. From Gravdalsfjellet, we then took a trail down into Espedalen (without passing by Viggohytten first). From there, it was then right back to the car. Really nice to have the opportunity for such a nice >>>

Hisdalen from Rød

Date:
14.01.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.4km

I had never passed by Rosemyrane in the west of Fanafjellet, so why not hiking into Hisdalen via Rosemyrane? I parked along the road from Fana to Krokeide near Rød and entered the terrain behind house 432, where I had seen something like an old trail before (you need a bit of phantasy, though, to respect it as a trail). This way, I got to the saddle in the west of Rødsaksla quickly and easily, entering the valley with Rosemyrane from its north there. Keeping to the east-side of this valley, I could nicely pass by Rosemyrane without getting all too wet shoes right in the beginning of this hike. :-) Not ascending much, altogether, I continued somewhat in southwestern direction (southeast of Vasslibekken). Instead of descending to Austrevågen at house 110, I tried to find a "half-high" >>>

Middagshovden with snowshoes

Date:
01.01.2023
Characteristic:
Snowshoe trip
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.9km

Lovely snowshoe tour on the first day of the year! After first reusing the track from the day before , we then decided to add an extension to Middagshovden. The ascent was a bit demanding (and in the upper part some 50 height meters, or so, were also quite steep), but all-in-all it was very nice and enjoyable. From Middagshovden, we then followed the slightly more traditional route down (in parallel to Ljosegrovi) until we reunited with our tracks from earlier. Really very nice to make such a winter hike with snowshoes! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

xMas hike to Fyllingsnipa

Date:
24.12.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.2km

We started from the parking place at the northern end of Spelhaugen, heading for Eikelifjellet, first. Once across Eikelifjellet, we decided that it was the right day for exploring Fyllingsnipa -- a hill that we usually just pass by. To get there, we crossed over the valley in the east of Eikelifjellet a bit northwest of Tøshaugen, then ascending up to Fyllingsnipa from its south (this ascent is well possible, but a bit steep at times). From Fyllingsnipa, we then continued further northwards, passing by Nipetjørna on its western side. This brought us to a side-top of Lyngbønipa, where we had a good overview of Nipedalen and further towards the west. Thereafter, we just returned back to our car, taking a different route back (a bit further to the west). Selected photos are available as >>>

Møsnuken from Hegglandsdalen barneskole

Date:
03.12.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
12.0km

YR predicted a really nice winter day: a perfect invitation to get out! :-) Without too much comparison of all the possible nice hikes, I decided to make another attempt to ascend to Møsnuken from the southeast. I had read here on Peakbook about a trail that leads up to Tveitaberget from Hegglandsdalsvegen where it passes the primary school of Hegglandsdalen (Hegglandsdalen barneskole). And indeed there's a proper trail with a well-marked trail head next to house #528 along Hegglandsdalsvegen, which leads up along a curved ridge to Tveitaberget. According to the terrain, this trail is very steep, but just fine to step up there! :-) Once on Tveitaberget, the trail "flattens out" a little, leading then in northward direction. At about 355masl, the trail turns left to ascend steeply (for just a >>>

Hauggjelsvarden from Grimen

Date:
26.11.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
8.5km

This Saturday was predicted to be the better hiking day of the weekend with clouds and some wind on the menu. The idea for the day was to ascend to Vidden from Erdalen near Grimevatnet. We started near the camping site at Grimen, crossing over Hardangervegen to get onto Erdalsvegen. After walking along Erdalsvegen for only about 200m, we turned left (exit towards the houses 12, 14, and 20), crossed the railtrack, and started our ascent into Gaulgjelet (steeply up on the eastern side of the stream). At about 125masl, we had to navigate around/over some rocks to continue in parallel to the stream. In retrospect, we got the impression that this could have been avoided by starting on the other, western side of the stream, maybe near houses 244 and 246 on Hardangervegen, and then crossing over >>>

Round around Bjørndalsvatnet

Date:
20.11.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
7.7km

Heading for some fresh air, we decided to make a round around Bjørndalsvatnet. Starting from Varden, we first crossed over Bjørgeveien into the direction of Knappen, ascending Sandeidbrotet to reach the trail that would bring us over to Bjørgelien. Via Bjørgebrekken, we then connected to Bjørgedalen and we used the connection down to Kjerreidvika. On the other side, we ascended to Ørnahaugen, before continuing further northwards to Bjørndalsskogen. There, we crossed Bjørgeveien (again) and descended to Bjørndalsvatnet. Surrounding the lake in its north, we got to the eastern side, where we followed trails back to Varden, also passing by Gjeddevatnet after getting over between the two lakes east of Elvareidet.
