Storsåta and Stangelifjellet from Flaktveit

Date:
06.03.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
11.1km

Hike to Storsåta and Vinddalen from Flaktveit. We parked where Hjortlandsvegen forks off Flaktveitsvingane and walked a little along Hjortlandsvegen, also crossing over the stream running down there in parallel to the path, until we found the trail that leads up to Storsåta at the lower end of Gjelet. This trail leads all the way up to the saddle at the upper end of Gjelet, right above Øvstebotn, on the western side of Gjelet. Instead of going directly to the saddle and then over and further to Storsåta, we first include a short excursion to Nukane right in the west of the saddle. From Nukane, it was then right over the saddle and up to Storsåta. Further, we then walked along the high ridge in the southeast of Storsåta until we came to Stangelifjellet, separating Setervatnet in the >>>

Orretua and Vardafjellet from Kaland

Date:
27.02.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.0km

Hike from Kaland to Orretua and back to Kaland via Vardafjellet. We had parked near the sports arena of Kaland, walking from there in southeastern direction along Osvegen. Near Smådal, we ascended (without a trail) to the ridge in the northeast of the road. Once up the ridge, we then followed this ridge in northeastern direction (towards Orretua). About half way towards Orretua, we could have switched to a forrest road, which would have led us to Orretua quite easily. Instead, however, we continued along the "high edge" over the much lower extending Bontveitvegen (without a trail). This, first, was straight forward and easy. To connect, then, to Orretua, however, was a bit more challenging (but not really difficult). From Orretua, we then followed a nice trail to Vardafjellet >>>

From Eidsvåg via Orretua and Rundemanen to Bergen

Date:
30.01.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
11.0km

Winter hike from Eidsvåg (the bus stop along Åsaneveien) in the north of Bergen via Orretua, Kvitebjørnen, and Rundemanen, to Bergen. From the bus stop, we followed first Munkebotn up to Langevatnet, where we crossed the stream towards the other, eastern side, where the somewhat steep ascent to Orretua starts. Following the ridge into the direction of Rundemanen, we came by Dræggehytten from where we continued up to Kvitebjørnen. From Kvitebjørnen, we crossed Lavet and came by Kåken before arriving at Rundemanen. From there, we descended to Bergen, passing by Brushytten. Instead of walking down one of the main routes to Bergen, however, we descended via Fløyvarden and over the ridge down to Mulen. While mostly without any problems, this descent along the northwestern ridge from >>>

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h

5.0km

A nice winter hike up to Høgstefjellet in the north of Åsane, starting from the recycling station along Salhusvegen and via Bruknappen right northeast of the starting point. Up and down (via Vardfjellet i Åsane) the same trail. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Visiting TOBRIK

Date:
19.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
9.2km

After discussing a few different ideas, we eventually settled on something quite basic: a little round through Kanadaskogen to enjoy the nice December day that also happened to be a Sunday! :-) Starting from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen, we headed first to Gjeddevatnet. Following its shoreline for a bit, we rounded Gjerdsvika to get to Fueneset. From there, and in order to get further north (to Bjørndalsvatnet), we had to pass by Elvareidet. While the one of us, who's smart, respected our knowledge of the cliffs in the east of Elvareidet, which require that one passes "over the top" instead of "down around", and started this small ascent right away from Furuneset, the other one, who wished to "double-check", descended again to Gjeddevatnet, just to >>>

Liatårnet from Li

Date:
11.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
5.3km

We expected some sunshine (not any long day, though, of course) and thus headed for some snow near Bergen! :-) Remembering a very nice winter hike up to Liatårnet in Jan. 2019 , we aimed at Liatårnet, again, but this time via a slightly different route. Also this time, we drove to Li (on the eastside of Liatårnet) and parked near Liaskjærshallen right next to Liaskjervegen at Liaskjeret. From there, we first walked back a little (north along Liaskjervegen) until we turned left (onto Elvabakkvegen). After walking up this road for a few meters, the road splits into two in a T-junction; there, straight onwards, one finds a trail head from which one can get behind the houses in westwards direction (for ex., towards Trollhaugen in the southwest). Our plan was to ascend into the direction of Liatårnet from there, so we did not >>>

White Løvstakken

Date:
05.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.5km

We needed a bit of fresh air and thus decided to make a quick excursion from Melkeplassen, between "downtown" Bergen and Fyllingsdalen. We parked along Monrad Mjeldes vei and followed the signs towards Løvstakken until we arrived at the upper end of Løvstien. Crossing Løvstien, we continued upwards along the northern ridge that leads to Ravnefjellet. There, we decided to also include Løvstakken. Following one of the major trails, we soon after arrived at the top of Løvstakken. Back down, we first followed the same trail, but instead of connecting to Ravnefjellet, again, we followed a trail into the direction of Skitnedalen. Crossing some of the local heights there, we continued further northwards along of the ridges. Before descending too much into the direction of Bergen, >>>

Double-round to Alvøen

Date:
28.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
28.8km

Even though I had a lot of work to do, still, I could not resist the nice weather and needed to get out, at least a little! Getting onto my eBike, I decided to visit Alvøen (once again) and check out a few of the smaller hills there. To get there, I decided to pass by Tennebekk, first. I thus biked first north in Fyllingsdalen and at Spelhaugen I got onto the gravel road that leads up to Tennebekk. On the other side, I turned south (southwest), again. Passing by Loddefjord, I aimed at Hilleren in the southwest of Haakonsvern. Once past Mathopen, I connected to Skarelien, which brought me up to Hilrafjellet by basically cycling a "full round" around it, first. From Hilrafjellet, I enjoyed some proper views, before I continued to check out Medhaugen next. While I could also >>>

Ørnafjellet (and Lyderhorn) the "wild" way

Date:
14.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
17.6km

After a very nice "standard" hike to Møsnuken the day before, we wished to use the second nice weekend day for another, maybe a bit more "experimental" hike. For some time already, we had asked ourselves, whether it is possible to ascend Ørnafjellet near Lyderhorn "direttissima" from Banuren. This Sunday, we thought to try this idea. We took our eBikes and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After rounding Svartaberget and Bjørndalstjørna, we cycled northwards on the eastside of Lyderhorn, passing by Liavatnet. On the northeastern side of Lianakken, we turned left and onto Banuren, leading us up to the houses of Banuren. Between Søre Banuren and Nordre Banuren, where one major trail from Lyderhorn comes down, we left our bikes behind, starting >>>
