Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Date:
22.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.1km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.

Brekkjedalen

Date:
25.01.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from the end of Hausdalen, we walked along the gravel road into Brekkjedalen. First, this really was an easy walk until the snow got deeper and deeper. In the end, every step was demanding, even though we "only" followed the road. Anyway: A nice and rewarding winter trip in a beautiful valley! :-)

Løvstakken

Date:
18.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.6km

Starting from Nils Langhelles vei (its lowest point), we first ascended primarily eastwards, up to a point on the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken (relatively near to Gullsteinen, actually). Then, we followed the ridge up to Løvstakken and descended on the other side, taking the possible turns to the left, in order to get down, to Krohnegården, again. From there, it then was only a short walk on the street, back to Nils Langhelles vei. A nice 2h winter hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Løvstakken

Date:
11.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.7km

Starting from Krohnegården, we ascended under the (due to storm Nina partially damaged!) cable line up to Løvstakken (the maybe steepest ascend to Løvstakken?!), where we faced cold and icy winds from the north, northwest. This made us return via Strutsefarmen, i.e., first southwards towards Gullstølen, but then westwards and downwards, back to Krohnegården. A quick and nice Sunday hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Sandviksfjellet

Date:
29.12.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
10.3km

Starting from Eidsvåg, following the street up to Munkebotn and then further up Sandviksfjellet. After a short break in the small hut at Aasebu, we continued to Fløyen and from there back down towards Mulen. Even though the weather was pretty wet, we still enjoyed some snow and a good hike! :-) Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends a similar hike up Sandviksfjellet .

Characteristic:

Starting from Nattlandsfjellet, we first hiked up to Orrehaugane, mostly carrying our skies.

Arnanipa in wet-stormy autumn weather

Date:
25.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
10.3km

While my son played some handball in Bjørnarhallen, this quick and wet hike unfolded in the midst of stormy autumn weather. The path up to Arnanipa was nice -- on the top of Arnanipa there was a strong wind, probably strom. The path down from the top was steep and very, very slippery -- not a good idea, actually, in the rain! The forest road, slightly above Arna, then was nice and relaxing for jogging back to Bjørnarhallen. All in all, a quick and refreshing tour! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Skåldalsfjellet, Herlandsfjellet, Repparåsen, and Arnanipa .

Hike around Baugtveit with Høgstefjellet

Date:
12.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.9km

We started from the parking place in Baugtveit (to right, right after driving up the steep road towards Baugtveit) and walked first along Huseberget and up towards Baugtveitgotene, then around Midtfjellet, and up to Høgstefjellet. From the beginning, this was a very wet hike -- and slippery in some places (due to the recent rain). We then continued northwards, via Baugtveitstemma up to Tellevikafjellet. From there, we went down to Salhusskaret and up, again, to Nordgardsfjellet. From there we continued on the path and down to Hitland (lowest point), before we walked to road up, again, to get back to the car. All in all, it was fun to make this hike (several tops and still well doable without being too straining). :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
