Kanadaskogen from Varden

Date:
28.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.6km

Walk through Kanadaskogen from Varden, including Hesjaholten. After first passing by Gjeddevatnet at Skaget, we crossed over some minor hills in northern direction, coming close to Bjørndalsvatnet (but not descending all the way down to it, this time). North of Hesjaholten, we then ascended to one of the small cliffs using a narrow gully in southwards direction. We then included also a neighboring cliff (a little further towards the northeast), before heading back into the direction of Varden, including Hesjaholten along the way. It's definitely possible to experience small but nice micro-adventures in Kanadaskogen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Skavlandsfjellet from Søyleplasset and Totlandsfjellet

Date:
15.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
11.4km

Ascending to Brattlandsfjellet from Brattland -- a long time plan! :-) We parked in the south of Søylevatnet, where the trail from Furedalen comes down from the south. After walking around Søyleplasset along the main road, we started our ascent to Dansebakken in the southwest of Søylevatnet. While we first were quite a bit unsure regarding how challenging this ascent would be, we then found out that a nice, minor trail actually leads up via Dansebakken! :-) Steadily ascending further upwards, we arrived at Skavdalsfjellet without any difficulties. We then crossed over Skavdalsfjellet, without including Flåfjellet further in the west, surrounding Fjellklovevatnet in its east. We then descended into Furedalen via the eastern hillside of Stordalsfjellet. There, we crossed the stream >>>

Up Lyderhorn and further to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
24.04.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
8.2km

Hiking Lyderhorn and walking back to Fyllingsdalen from there. We took a bus via Loddefjord that was heading towards Olsvik, getting off where Olsvikskjenet is connected to Gamle Kjøkkelvikveien. Walking down there, we could easily connect to Lyderhornslien on the other, eastern side. From there, we then ascended to Lyderhorn following a minor trail that leads up a little further north than the main trail from Kjøkkelvik. Once on Lyderhorn, we continued in southern direction down again (into the direction of Skarpafjellet). When reaching the saddle right north of Skarpafjellet, we turned left and descended to the main highway-cross in the southeast of Lyderhorn. On the other side, we then walked up to Tennebekktjørna and further over to Spelhaugen. All in all, a nice hike connecting >>>

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 >>>
