Rhododendron watching in Arboretet på Milde

Datum:
30.05.2019
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
4,1km

We had a bit of extra time and thought that visiting Arboretet på Milde and seeing some blossoming Rhododendra would be nice. :-) We parked at Grønneviken parking (northwest of Arboretet) and started with a nice walk into Arboretet from the northwest. Before getting into the middle of it, we turned left onto a small trail that passes by Mørkevatnet (in its south) with some nice views. From there, we continued (in northern direction) to see the collection of Rhododendra that is placed into the forest there. And sure enough we were not disappointed, being overwhelmed by loads of bright colors! After enjoying this part of Arboretet for a good while, we returned towards its middle (Blondehuset) and from there we continued further into the south of Arboretet, into the direction of the (still >>>

Lyngbønipa from Lyngbø (and back via Skitnetjørna)

Datum:
26.05.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:15h
Entfernung:
3,7km

We took the car to Lyngbø, driving up Nipedalen a little and then parking near Nipedalen 37. From there, we first walked for a few meters along a side road (to the northeast), also called Nipedalen. Right before house 74, a narrow opening is found (in southeastern direction), which leads to the trail head on the other side of the houses. Once there, it's bascially up (in southern direction) through a small, steep valley that leads up to Nipetjørna. It's about 200hm up to the lake. In order to get to Lyngbønipa, one turns right at the lake, finding another (small) trail (again to the right, now in northern direction) very soon after. This trail then leads to Lyngbønipa (with nice views!). To get back down, we took another trail that leads down from Lyngbønipa on its southern side >>>

Sydpolen and Gullfjellet from Brekkedalen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:15h
Entfernung:
14,9km

Nice to have guests, who wish to go hiking in the mountains near Bergen! :-) The original plan was to do this on Saturday, but since the weather forecast was much better on Friday afternoon, we arranged for this timeplan instead. We left Bergen with the car into the direction of Os (on E39). After coming by Kalandsvatnet, we turned left at about Kalandseidet to enter the relatively narrow road into Hausdalen. Driving Hausdalen all the way in, we arrived at the parking place near the beginning of Brekkedalen (at the very end of the road through Hausdalen). From there, we first walked along the gravel road into Brekkedalen (in eastern direction). We came by Sandane (a nice spot in Brekkedalen!) and also took the bridge over Tverrelva, coming down from the left/north, still continuing through >>>

Kanadaskogen and Straumsfjellet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
7,8km

We started from Varden with no particular plan (except for getting some fresh air). We headed towards Kanadaskogen, crossing over the soccer fields north of Varden. We first followed some beaten paths between the houses until we reached Hesjaholtet. There, we eventually left streets and houses and entered the forest (Kanadaskogen). We started with some smaller heights north of Hesjaholtet, including some nice views down to Bjørndalsvatnet. After crossing some further (small) heights, we descended down to the place in the very north of Bjørndalsvatnet, where previously some building was standing (a mill?). From there, we followed a trail towards the west along the lake (in its north). This way, we rounded the southern ridge of Træshovden near the lake and then chose a gently ascending >>>

Ørnafjellet, Skjenafjellet, and Lyderhorn

Datum:
01.05.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
6,7km

Even though the weather was not as nice as during many of the days before, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air. Since time was also limited, we decided to make a short hike on Lyderhorn. We started from the north of Gravdal, where also the street up to Kvarven leaves. Instead of starting with Kvarven, however, we decided to include Ørnafjellet (via Mördarbakka), first. To do so, we started with the stairs that lead upwards from the southern end of the industrial area at the northwestern end of Gravdal. This brings one onto a nice trail that leads through the forest in southern direction to a small soccer field (north of Øvrebø). Directly from this playing field, then in western direction and steeply upwards, you can find the trail up to Ørnafjellet. Before actually getting >>>

Knappen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
4,6km

We started from Varden, crossing over Bjørgeveien near Sandeidet Terminal, and taking up the stairs to Vassteigen. We then took the trail that starts north of Knappatjørna and leads (more or less) directly up to Knappen (not including Eldtona, this time). At Knappen, we this time explored the southern side (towards Hesthaugen) and found an interesting spot there with a nice view towards the west (and over Maggevika). We then returned via Knappatjørna, where we enjoyed nice spring weather for a while, to Varden. Good to have Knappen nearby, when time is short, and there's still a wish to get some fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Ulriken from Haukeland Hospital (stone steps up)

Datum:
20.04.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
7,1km

We started from a bus stop at Haukeland University Hospital and first walked up the street to the lower station of the cable car that goes up to the top of Ulriken. Instead of taking the cable car, however, we followed a trail that leads up to Montana (and from there further towards Ulriken etc.). Once above the Montana Vandrerhjem, we followed the gravel road Johan Blytts vei, which ascends diagonally in southeastern direction, before it crosses a little stream. From there, it's getting steeper and shortly after, a renewed path turns left (from there then steeply upwards in northeastern direction). Before eventually departing from the gravel road (near Hellerane), the path gets once again very near to it (at about 325mosl). From there onward, it then goes steeply upwards (through Lægdebotn >>>

Fløyen from Bergen harbor

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
3,0km

With guests, just arrived from Austria, we exploited the nice weather and showed Bergen from above (from Fløyen). Up by feet, down by Fløybanen. :-) Not a big hike (and definitely not alone), but clearly a nice day and always nice to look down onto Bergen from the top station of Fløybanen! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Vossavardane via Innapåeggi and Utapåegga

Datum:
07.04.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:45h
Entfernung:
9,1km

We parked near Nedre Romslo at Romslovegen (very near to the E16). Our goal was to reach the ridge of Innapåeggi and then to follow it upwards into the direction of Gullfjellet. At house 243, shortly before crossing over E16, we left Romslovegen and started to ascend towards the ridge. First, we used a path until we came close to the forest. From there on, it was mostly through the forest and towards the ridge. This part was steep and the underground was partly unstable. It is highly recommended to plan carefully and to not follow this track without having good shoes. Also, it was useful to use our hands every now and then, before reaching the ridge. Clearly, this first part of our hike required a portion of hiking experience! Once on the ridge, however, the hike turned into a wonderful >>>

Livarden

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
9,3km

We started from the small parking place at Øvre Totland and headed right towards the long ridge of Totlandsfjellet. Enjoying lovely spring weather, we ascended swiftly towards the top of Totlandsfjellet. The next goal was then to cross over to Livarden. When getting over from Totlandsfjellet to Livarden near Seterhaugen, we were positively surprised that the terrain was not overly wet (even though we still saw a little bit of snow there). From Karvestølen it was then only a few minutes to ascent to Livarden via Nordvardsbrekkene. At Livarden, we enjoyed a short break, before heading back. Instead of hiking back the same path, however, we followed the ridge towards Ulvursfjellet (the main path up and down Livarden). Instead of staying on the higher ridge (with the main path), we followed >>>
