Knappen

Date:
01.05.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
4.4km

With only little time at our hands (or feet?), we did only a quick excursion to nearby Knappen. Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Utapåeggi from Indre Songstad, down Innapåeggi

Date:
18.04.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
8.1km

We expected some nice weather and thus thought that we could do a short hike, exploring a new way up to Utapåeggi (via Indre Songstad). We thus headed east from Bergen in order to get to road E16, which would bring us to our starting point near Sørfjorden. Instead of sunshine, however, we drove through some light rain on our way there, questioning our weather information! :-) Near Romslo, we left road E16 and parked right next to Romslo, expecting that we would come down there later. To get to Indre Songstad, where we wanted to start the ascent to Utepåeggi, we first needed to walk a bit along Romslovegen (the old road, parallel to E16). Just before coming to Indre Songstad, however, we thought that we could already start our ascent (quite a bit steep there, however). Our first goal >>>

To Bergen via Løvstakken

Date:
16.04.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
10.1km

Given a quite nice day, we decided to walk to Bergen (via Løvstakken). We first walked up to Orrtuvatnet, before then continuing (further up) to Lyshovden. Next, we wished to get up to Gullsteinen and we did so via Nils Langhelles vei (using a trail that starts basically where the last house stands at Nils Langhelles vei). From Gullsteinen, we then followed the main trail up to Løvstakken. To continue further to Bergen, we aimed at Juvdalen. The descent to Løvstien is quite steep, though. Altogether a nice option to get to Bergen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Nubbevatnet (twice) via Nattlandsfjellet

Date:
12.04.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
31.3km

We had agreed to make a short hike together, from Nattlandsfjellet to Nubbevatnet. To get there, we took our bikes, first along Nordåsvatnet, then via Paradis up to Nattlandsfjellet. From the parking strip south of Sveane, we then hiked up (via Sveane) and over the long ridge into the direction of Orrehaugane, before then crossing over to Nubbevatnet. At Baunehytten, on the north end of Nubbevatnet, we then enjoyed a nice little break. After enjoying the sun a little, we then walked back towards Ramsdalen and Nattlandsfjellet, following the main route (gravel road southwards, also connecting to Helgeseter). Once back at the parking at Nordre Nattlandsfjellet, we learned that the keys to unlock two of our bike locks weren't with us as expected. After a bit of searching, we thought that >>>

Sauafjellet via Heiane from Rolsvåg

Date:
05.04.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:45h
Distance:
13.2km

The idea was to visit Sauafjellet (from Rolsvåg). We parked near Vågasanden, right next to Solbjørgsvegen. The plan was to first hike to Heiane, in the southeast of Sauafjellet, before then connecting to the northeastern ridge of Sauafjellet. On the map, it had looked promising to start near Furneset (off trail) and then hike northwards up to Heiane. After getting around house 759 (and a dog that seemed moderately excited), we then made quick and nice progress upwards. Almost straight northwards, we soon found ourselves on Heiane, enjoying views already in all directions. As we had remembered from last time, a bit of careful navigation is recommended north of Heiane (the terrain is a bit rugged and several small lakes are around there, too). We still found a good traverse without >>>

Kanadaskogen

Date:
23.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.5km

Just a round in Kanadaskogen to use the nice weather for a short walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
23.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
13.1km

We started near Haukeland hospital in Bergen and first walked around Svartediket to get to the trail head north of Ulrikseggen. While ascending the ridge, we repeatedly enjoyed the amazing vierws across Svartediket and towards Bergen! Once on the heights of Ulriken, the hiking party split into two with one part including the actual top of Ulriken, also (via Ulriksskaret). At the upper end of Ulriksbanen, we refreshed ourselves a little, before walking down the Sherpa trail. Clearly, stepping up to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen is one of the nicer variants up! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Hananipa

Date:
09.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.5km

We expected a nice day and tought that Hananipa would be a nice goal. In fact, we tought that making a nice round, including Raudnipa and/or Trollabotsvarden, would be a good idea. We drove out of Bergen into the direction of Voss and left road E16 at Trengereid to drive up to Nordre Skulstad. There, we parked and started our hike by heading towards Geitshushaugen, first, and then further up to Åsen, before connecting to Brunane. After following Brunane all the way up, we then continued up to Hananipa via its western ridge. Already at home, we had talked about the slightly steep section from Hananipa down to Sauaskaret; when then stepping towards this section, we concluded that we did not feel safe enough (with all the snow etc.). We thus turned around and headed back down the western >>>

Hausdalshorgi via Edne from Hausdalen

Date:
01.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
10.8km

On the map, we had started wondering whether it should not be alright to ascend to Hausdalshorgi from Hausdalen. With some over-optimistic hopes for some sun, we headed into Hausdalen and parked at the very end of the road, where we often would start to hike into Brekkedalen. The idea was to walk a short stretch further up Hausdalen, before then aiming at a ridge in the south of Hausdalshorgi with the name of Edne on it on the map. East of Langhaugen, where a stream comes down from Hausdalshorgi, we then left the main trail, which leads further into Hausdalen, seeing where it would be best to get up to the targeted ridge. After crossing the stream, we saw with some positive surprise that quite obviously this place was used to get higher up the hillside long before us, already (while no >>>
