Slettegga, Austefjellet, and Hausdalshorgi

Dato:
26.12.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
13,3km

We expected a nice winter day and started a bit earlier than usually to exploit the short daylight period as well as possible. After driving up to Bontveit and parking there right next to the saddle, we started first hiking northwards along Bontveitvegen. Very soon, however, we turned left to explore Åsane (in parallel to Bontveitvegen). While it was fully possible to traverse Åsane, also without any trail, it occasionally got a touch of a nice xMas bush war. At Langemyrskaret, we reconnected with Bontveitvegen, having a nice chat with another hiker, who had enjoyed the rising sun from Slettegga. Then, instead of following the standard trail up to Slettegga, we included another small exploration: Halvardshaugen in the northwest of Bjørnstølåsen, from which we enjoyed some really nice >>>

Løvstakken from/to Bergen

Dato:
25.12.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
6,7km

Even though it was a bit late, already, we still wished to make a quick round somewhere near. Doing Løvstakken from the Bergen-side seemed just right (and so it was). We used the gravel road that starts from Løvstien just above Solheimslien to get up. On Løvstakken, we met an unexpected sight: most of one of the two masts was missing from its top -- what's happening? :-) To get back down, we chose to cross over Ravnefjellet and then use Løvstien to get back around to the Bergen-side. Our timing was just right to return before it got all dark. 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 .

Round around Sælenvatnet with Barhaugen

Dato:
20.12.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
8,3km

We wished to get some fresh air, or so, and thus headed out to a short round around Sælenvatnet. The first goal was to walk around Bondegården along the northern shore of Sælenvatnet (even though it gets quite a bit wet on the southeastern side of Bondegården). After crossing the bridge north of Øyrane, we then continued along Sælenveien, before finding a connection up to Stokkedalen. There, we then scaled the rather steep hillside up to the upper stretch of Rekdalsveien. From there, it was then over to Barhaugen and back down towards Straumshaugen. While all of this round was not really spectacular, we did catch some nice winter light. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

It was just to stretch our legs a little: quickly to Gjeddevatnet and back! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Lyderhorn via Skarpafjellet

Dato:
06.12.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,5km

Aiming at some nice but not too long weekend hike, we decided to visit Lyderhorn (again). The plan was to ascend via Skarpafjellet in the south of Lyderhorn. We parked at Bjørndalen and tried an as direct as possible (off-trail) ascent to Skarpafjellet, first. As soon as we had left road Sildaberget (right next to Lyderhornsveien), we immediately found ourselves (not unexpectedly, though) in rather steep terrain, which required a bit of hand help to make it up between the rocks. As soon as we were up to about 90masl, however, progress became easier and rather straight-forward -- all the way to the top of Skarpafjellet. This southern flank of Skarpafjellet is actually very nice, offering some nice views over Bjørndalen and Bjørndalspollen. From Skarpafjellet, we then followed the main >>>

A dragon on Knappen?

Dato:
29.11.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,5km

When the winter days are short, it's sometimes no more than "just" making a quick (but still nice!) round across Knappen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Kubrekka from/to Sandven

Dato:
23.11.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,9km

We had time for a relatively short walk but still were interested in exploring opportunities to do something new. Expecting chances for some low-standing November sun from the southwest, we thought that hiking up to Kubrekka from Sandven right next to Kalandsvatnet could be a reasonable option (yes, when "digging deeper", we read in Harald's trip report that the top had no views and is of no interest to normal hikers; but then: are we normal hikers? :-)). The main idea was to go up via Stemmedalen, then cross over Kubrekka from the northwest to the southeast, before then walking down Høgerinden in parallel to Tjørnadalen to get back to Sandven. When aiming for Stemmedalen from Osvegen, however, we faced a sign informing us that someone would not like us to proceed further towards Stemmedalen along >>>

When time is limited, but you still wish to stretch your legs a little in some fresh air, then Knappen is always there for you! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Lyderhorn from Kjøkkelvikveien

Dato:
05.10.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,7km

We parked close to the Kjøkkelvikveien-Nedbergeveien junction and first walked a bit along Kjøkkelvikveien to find a good place for starting our ascent towards Stemmebakkane and Høgenuten. Opposite to Fæsterveien, we then found a narrow access road, leading up to the house with number 105. After the second hairpin curve up the rather steep mountain side, we then followed a simple trail into the forest (and further upwards). Even though there's no trail to be seen on Norgeskart for this part, one still can find simple hiking trails "all the way up" to Stemmebakkane and Høgenuten. From up there, one also then can enjoy some nice views. A bit south of Høgenuten, one then joins the main trail to Lyderhorn. After making it "all the way up" to Lyderhorn (not so much >>>

Lundåsane from Hausdalen

Dato:
14.09.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,9km

We wished to explore the Hausdalen-side of Lundåsane and thus drove to Hausdalen, where we parked a bit south of Håland. From there, we first walked up a gravel road that extends parallel to Hålandsbekken. About half way up, I decided that I wished to explore Storerinden, in the east of Slokadalen, also. Stepping up to this hill was straight-forward, while not on a trail, though. From Storerinden, while not really a prominent "peak", I still got a nice view towards Hausdalshorgi (it's always nice to see Hausdalshorgi!). I then continued across the ridge to re-connect with the gravel road near the T-junction, where one leg of the gravel road extends a bit further up to Plasset. Instead of following the gravel road any further, though, I used a trail (maybe more a former trail) >>>
