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 >>>

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 >>>

Very shot excursion to the local peninsula in Sælenvatnet to get some fresh air. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

With a remarably nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to make a round over (parts of) Vidden, starting with an ascent to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen. After first cycling to Svartediket (and a bit along it on its northern side), we started to hike not far from Koftebrotet, following the gravel road, first. This way, we passed by Hardbakkadalen and then also Isdalen, surrounding Svartediket on its eastern and then southern side. After crossing the stream that comes down Isdalen (and not following the Isdalen-trail upwards from there as one also could), we continued a little further along the gravel road until it makes a moderate turn to the right (north), leading down to Karistølen from there. It is in this turn that one can start the actual ascent via Ulrikseggen, following a trail through the forest (upwards in >>>

Approaching Ulriken from Fyllingsdalen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.3km

With a nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to approach our hike by bike (eBike). Starting from Varden in Fyllingsdalen, we first biked around Bønes (along Nordåsvatnet) towards Fjøsanger. From there, we connected to the heights in the south of Storetveit kirke. Following Storetveitvegen, Hagerups vei (around Tveitevannet), and then Birkeveien, we made it to Haukelandsveien, which we followed to the northern side of th hospital. From Årstadveien we then biked along Stemmeveien and Lappen to Tarlebøveien. To focus our hike on higher grounds, we then cycled a little further along Svartediket, before we then left our bikes behind for a nice hike over Vidden . Once back from this hike, we then took the bikes out, again. To get back to Fyllingsdalen, we then chose to take the route via Melkeplassen, biking first along >>>

Crossing Gullsteinen to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
13.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
8.5km

After dropping off my bike for a service I head back to Fyllingsdalen. After crossing Fjøsangerveien near the near tunnel portal (for Bybanen and cyclists), I walked up Grønestølsveien to find a way into the green above the houses. After getting to Grønnestølslien, I could not see an immediate opportunity to continue further up. Accordingly, I first followed Grønnestølslien in southern direction until it ends near a littl stream that is coming down from Løvstakken there. There, I connected to a proper trail that leads upwards; first on the eastern side of the stream. At about 160mosl, I crossed the stream and continued further upwards in western direction. After crossing over an old stone wall, I arrived at a somewhat flat spot at about 250mosl. From there, I continued further >>>

Nice hike around Hisdalsvatnet

Date:
09.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:45h
Distance:
10.2km

The weather forecast was OK and it looked like there was a good opportunity for a nice hike in the neighborhood. For a longer time already, the Hisdalen nature reserve had (silently) recommended itself and so we decided to pay this somewhat separated part of Bergen ("separated" in the sense that it's kind of "behind the hills of Fanafjellet") a visit. We took the car via Fana to Krokeide, where we parked next to the road (near the saddle before one drives down to the ferry terminal at Krokeide). We then walked (first along a minor road) into the direction of Austrevågen (in eastern direction), before continuing along the forest road towards the southwestern end of Hisdalsvatnet. There, our goal of crossing the stream out of Hisdalsvatnet was challenged by the large >>>

Lyderhorn (between two showers)

Date:
02.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.1km

Given a rather wet day with showers coming through one after the other, we grabbed the chance of one rain break and included a short hike up to Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvikveien). We started along Lyderhornslien (into the direction of Olderdalen), but then chose to take the somewhat less used route up that has its trail head between Lyderhornslien 120 and 122 (some steps up, first, from between the houses). The trail is by now much better visible and it's easy to follow it upwards into the direction of Lyderhorn (first in southeastern direction, before turning left into north eastern direction). From 250mosl upwards, one can then also enjoy some nice views (mostly in western direction). From Lyderhorn, we then took the more popular route down (first in southern direction until close to Små-Lyderhorn, >>>
