Tåkenuten and Kråkenos

Date:
23.05.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:15h
Distance:
13.4km

Weighing the weather forecast with our wish to make a nice hike, we ended up with Kråkenos as our hiking goal. While this mountain is also well accessible from its eastern side (from Bru near Strandebarm at Hardangerfjorden), we decided to approach it from its western side, i.e., from Øvre Hålandsdalen. To get there, we drove from Bergen first along E16 into the direction of Voss, then along road 49 into the direction of Kvamskogen, before then continuing along road 48 to Eikelandsosen and from there further towards Holdhus a few kilometers in the east of Eikelandsosen. Near Holdhus one needs to take a sharp turn to the left (north) onto an old and narrow road that leads into Øvre Hålandsdalen (after first passing between Gjønavatnet in the north and Skogseidvatnet in the south).  >>>

Skarsnuten, Vardafjellet, Grytefjellet, and Belgjaråsen

Date:
30.04.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:45h
Distance:
14.8km

After a meeting at Solstrand Bad & Hotel, we decided to do a hike in nearby Fuse before heading back to Bergen. From Hattvik, we thus took the ferry over to Venjaneset and drove from there further along road 552 towards Eikelandsosen. There we took to the left (onto road 48 and into the direction of Samnanger) and continued on it for a few kilometers (until we had come through Moshovdatunnelen). Right after the tunnel, we turned right (onto Hafskorvegen) and parked soon after (very near to the bridge that we had just passed over after the tunnel). Our first hiking goal was Skarsnuten, a little top "in the valley", south of Hafskorvatnet. It was nice that we could see the top from the very start of the hike, also. We first followed the little road that leads up to Hafskorvatnet, >>>

Bogafjellet from Reinsvegen

Date:
18.11.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:45h
Distance:
11.4km

Even though the weather, with very low hanging clouds, did not look all to promising for a hike somewhere higher up, I still decided to give it a try and headed south and towards Fusa (via Osøyro, then taking the ferry from Hatvik to Senjaneset). Even on the ferry across Fusafjorden I wondered, whether it was that good an idea at all (the impression which the sun made, breaking through the low-hanging clouds, however, was definitely worth the view!). After arriving in Fusa, I quickly turned right from the main road and followed road 122 towards Strandvik (via Vinnes). Before actually getting to the "center" of Strandvik, I turned left and headed towards Reinsvegen. Passing by Kvåle, I drove up the valley until a spot near Snøhaugen. From there, I had planned to hike a round >>>

Tveitakvitingen from Tveita

Date:
09.10.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
16.4km

We took E16 from Bergen to Trengereid, then following road number 7 to Samnanger, before changing over to road number 48 right after Hagaåstunnelen. We passed through Eikelandsosen and continued to Holdhus, where we changed to a small road, which would lead us into the Tveita valley. Once there, we continued almost all the way in and parked near Bratthus, close to Indre Tveita. From there, we walked the rest of the road into the end of this nice valley, passing the last farm at Brekka soon after. The way continues into Tveitaskaret, where it becomes steep very soon (but easy to hike---mostly, because a gravel road has been constructed---probably to help maintaining a small power station that was opened in Tveitaskaret in 2009). At the end of the gravel road, one can further ascend through >>>

Fusafjellet

Date:
30.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
17.1km

We took the ferry from Hattvik to Venjaneset and continued -- only a little less than 3km -- to Fusa. We parked the car right next to the street, where it crosses Sagelva and where a sign points towards the old postal path (gamle postveien) -- not at the least as also recommended by the page about Storehorga and Langenuen on WestCoastPeaks.com . We first went up a simple street called Øpstad (on the eastern side of Sagelva), which connects directly to a useful forest road, leading up the valley. At about 125mosl, we came to a road fork, continuing on the left, further up. At about 300mosl, another trail fork opens up for different alternatives -- we turned left, again, following the most direct route up to Fusafjellet (from there). Ascending a little further from there, we left the tree line below us and started to enjoy the many nice views that >>>
