Djupedalseggene and Vindeggene from Ostereidet

Date:
24.03.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
16.4km

We took the car from Bergen, first following E39 via Knarvik. From Osterfjordvegen, we then took a small road to Ostereidet, where we parked next to the local school. We started our hike up to Hovåsen, following first some forest roads and then a trail along the southeastern ridge of Hovåsen. From there, we then crossed over to the gravel road that leads up to Storset (via Bruarinden). After then walking up this gravel road to the end of the road at Storset, we then followed a marker that directed us to a small ridge in the south of Storsettjørna (and west of Vardhaugen). Crossing over this ridge (in northwestern direction) and stepping over the small stream that comes down from Storsettjørna (in southwestern direction), we ended up on the trail up to Vindeggene (this trail is not >>>

Eldsfjellet from the north

Date:
20.08.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.0km

We had not been on Eldsfjellet for a while -- not the two of us, at least! Eldsfjellet is -- for good reasons -- a relatively popular hiking destination (it's not really high, as a mountain, but since it's standing out of its surrounding quite a bit, one can expect quite nice views from its heights). Here on Peakbook, as well as on other hiking platforms, one can easily get the impression that everyone (or "everyone") hikes up to Eldsfjellet from its south, either from the parking spot near Alvhøyen along Skjelangervegen, or from Skurtveit via Skurtveitvegen. Harald 's approach from the northwest is a notable exception, of course! :-) Even though it looked like off-trail a lot, we made a plan to approach Eldsfjellet from the north, instead. The idea was to follow Skjelangervegen further and around Eldsfjellet, >>>

Gaustadfjellet, Litlafjellet, Bårafjellet, Øyjordsfjellet

Date:
04.09.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
11.4km

Looking forward to a nice day, we decided to pay Gaustadfjellet on Holsnøy a visit. To get there, we crossed Krossnessundet right after driving over Nordhordlandsbrua, north of Bergen. Then, we followed road 5310 northwestwards, kind of parallel to Radfjorden on our right side. Since we wished to start our hike from the southeast, traversing all of Gaustadfjellet (and further), we first needed to find a proper parking place along Ådlandsvegen. After a bit of back and forth, we managed to park properly along this rather narrow road. We then followed a not really well visible trail to the southern ridge of Gaustadfjellet (Storhøyden). From there, then, we could use a nice trail that extends over most of this ridge. It's actually a very nice alternative to the otherwise shorter ascent >>>

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, >>>

Gladihaug and Krossane from Votno

Date:
01.05.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
13.5km

For a while, we had contemplated to hike Gladihaug one day. This morning, we decided to finally do it! :-) We took the car to the north of Bergen, driving along E39 towards Knarvik. Once there, we turned left in Knarvik and continued along road 57 (into the direction of Mongstad in the north of Knarvik). After driving through Espelandstunnelen and Herlandstunnelen on Lindåsvegen, we parked right next to the road (where one also could drive off to Seim only a bit further in the north). We then started our hike towards Gladihaug by walking into Votno, approaching the significant ridge of Hellefjellet from its north. As soon as we found ourselves on this ridge (in the south of Votno), we also had found a simple trail that was easy to follow. At about 250mosl, this trail even got "upgraded" >>>

Austlendingen

Date:
11.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
8.7km

We left Bergen on E39 towards the north (Knarvik) and continued further on E39 in northeastern direction (north of Osterfjorden) after having past Knarvik. Right before we would have entered the long Eikefettunnelen, we turned left (onto road 570) and parked only meters after leaving road E39. Our main goal of the day was Austlendingen and we had thought to start along the main trail there, which starts just meters west of the entry to Eikefettunnelen (on the southern side of road E39). Our plan, as prepared at home, was to attempt a round (off trail up, on the main trail down), but when we came to the trail head, we encoutered a pretty bold sign informing everyone about the ongoing hunting period and that hikers should stay on marked trails. After a little bit of consideration, we decided >>>

Brakstadfjellet, Tveitanipa, and Røysetfjellet

Date:
10.04.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
9.2km

The weather report suggested the further north one may have better chances for some sunshine. So, a top, which had been waiting on our wish-list for a long time already, got picked as trip goal: Brakstadfjellet. The car brought us north from Bergen and over Nordhordlandsbrua. Turning left at Flatøy brings one over the bridge over Krossnessundet onto Holsnøy. Following road 564, we passed Frekhaug into the direction of Fløksand. Near Holme, we turned right (onto road 5314), driving further to Tveit. Eventually using road 5308, we ended up near Brakstadvatnet at Vollo. There, a somewhat extended bus stop offers good opportunities for parking. Before starting from Bergen, we had checked the map in order to understand, which alternatives there are for ascending to Brakstadfjellet. This >>>

Veten and Varden on Eldsfjellet

Date:
10.11.2019
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.1km

Starting from Bergen, we drove northwards, first, crossing over Nordhordlandsbrua on road E39. On the other side, instead of further following the main road, we turned left and onto road 564 that extends in northwestern direction on the southwestern side of Holsnøy. Eldsfjellet is found quite far in the northwest of Holsnøy and we aimed at parking near Skurtveit, only a bit after coming through Vikebø at Rosslandspollen. Close to Svehaugane, just a few meters up from the sea at Rosslandsvegen, we found a parking opportunity near a place, where apparently the bus also turns around. From there, we started our hike along Skurtveitvegen, first. We followed some minor roads to a point right in the south of Storatjørna from where a trail is starting in northern direction. Passing by Storatjørna >>>

Husdalsfjellet via Husdalen from Kanalen

Date:
13.04.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.3km

We took the E39 to the north of Bergen, crossing over to Knarvik over Nordhordlandsbrua. We then continued along E39 (in the direction of Førde) along the northern side of Osterfjorden. Right after Bjørsviktunnelen, we turned right at the second opportunity (marked towards Molvik there). Note that this exit comes almost immediately after the one to Bjørsviki, so it's good to keep your eyes open right after leaving the tunnel! :-) We then followed Molvikavegen for only a very short stretch until we crossed over the little bridge over Kanalen. Right after the bridge, we found a little place on the left, where we could park for a while. Just meters above the parking, a private road to Husdalen leaves to the northeast (left), locked behind a bar. We hiked along this road then, in the >>>

Sæterfjellet on a wonderful winter day

Date:
28.10.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
14.6km

We drove from Bergen northwards on E39, continuing further in the direction of Førde after Knarvik. Right before entering Eikefettunnelen, we left E39 and continued on road 570 in northern direction. After coming by Dyrdalen, we soon reached Kjekallevågen and bridge over it. Right afterwards, on Borgaholmane, we parked and started our hike. To start, we first crossed the bridge again (now per pedes and in southern direction) and headed towards Langeneset. At exactly the point, where the bridge ends, we left the road and started our ascent to Såta, stepping up a long ridge (south of Rasmusdalen), leading up to Gamlesetra, etc. The first check-point along this route is a point at about 115mosl, where the power line, which comes southwards across Kjekallevågen, makes a turn so that it >>>
