Engeset and Dyngelandsåsen

Dato:
30.01.2016
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,2km

I parked the car at the very end of Dyngelandsvegen (where it meets Totlandsvegen) and crossed the bridge (on Totlandsvegen) towards southeast (only a few meters from the parking place). Right after the bridge, I turned left (without any path, however), because I hoped to find a reasonable spot for climbing Engeset from there. After only a few steps, it became clear that this was not easy---first of all, moving forward in horizontal direction was difficult, because of fallen trees, big stones, etc.; then, getting up to Engeset also turned out to be challenging (this side of Engeset, its northwestern side, is really very steep and in most places it is simply impossible to get up)! After proceeding a bit towards northeast, I finally found a place, where I assumed that ascending to Engeset could >>>

Bjørndalen

Dato:
24.01.2016
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,9km

We started from Varden and went down to Bjørgeveien, which we followed until the point, where we could leave the road towards Kjerreidvika (on the left, western side). Down at the sea, it is possible to find a narrow path on the northern side, which surrounds Ørnahaugen, passing by Djupakastet, leading to Hestabakken. There, we ascended upwards---in eastern direction---until we came close to the buildings up there. Before actually reaching the houses at Bjørndalsskogen, we turned left and crossed a small height, before stepping down into the "main square" of Bjørndalsskogen. We crossed over to the other, northern side, where we left the street, again, ascending to the hill north of Bjørndalsssskogen. After stepping over the first top, we crossed over to Kampen on the northwestern >>>

Olsnesnipa

Dato:
16.01.2016
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
5,8km

We parked at the parking on saddle Trollskaret, right about Bruvik on the southeastern "corner" of Osterøy (after crossing the bridge, you turn right right away to get to Bruvik). From the parking place, we stepped into the terrain at once, skiing into an Eastern direction, first. We ascended to Sethaugen and then continued along a gentle ridge towards Olsnesnipa. It's interesting that this is "only the other Olsnesnipa" up there, with the more prominent one being close, at "the Southern end" of the mountain range, which is most prominently marked by Rispingen in the north. This other, more prominent Olsnesnipa is also called Olsnessåta. From the one Olsnesnipa that we had come by, we continued towards Skarvenipa, first, before then turning right (bascially >>>

Golta

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
4,1km

We drove to Sotra and then southwards into the direction Klokkarvik. At Eide, we turned right, into the direction of Glesvær. Relatively near to Glesvær, we turned right, again---this time into the direction of Golta. We drove over the bridge to Golta and parked the car along the road, a short bit before reaching Nedre/Øvre Golta. We weren't 100% sure were "the path to Sandvika" would leave the road and searched for a short while, before we decided to follow something that looked in the beginning like a track (maybe sheep!). We passed through a couple of trees, before finding a suitable spot to cross a simple fence. We then followed a "height ridge" towards northwest, right next to a significant depression, called Trolldalen. Halfway out, we came to another fence---this >>>

Kossdalen

Dato:
02.01.2016
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,7km

We drove to Osterøy and then on Osterøy first to Lonevåg. From there, we continued to Hosanger at Osterfjorden, on the northwestern side of Osterøy. In Hosanger, we took a sharp turn to the right, where a sign leads to the Waldorf school in Holanger. Before getting to the school, we parked right next to the graveyard. From there we walked along a simple road, first on the western side of the little stream that comes down from Holevatnet, that leads directly into Kossdalen. In Kossdalen, the path switches sides and continues further in on the eastern side of the valley, passing by Kossdalsvatnet. At the very end of Kossdalen, one finds a place called Gråura, where certainly some have enjoyed camping already---it's just a very nice place! :-) Behind Gråura, Kossdalssvingane start---an >>>

Around Spelhaugen in the snow

Dato:
27.12.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,0km

We started from Ørnahaugen and descended along a small path towards Lauvåstjørna, first. Instead of walking further on Barliveien (towards Spelhaugen), we turned right and took a pedestrians path up towards Løvåsbakken. Before getting down, in between the blocks, there, we turned left and passed by the blocks on their backside. When coming to a simple street, we turned left and followed this street up to a parking place between the trees. From there, we went in western direction, up and down (on Lurane), before turning a bit more nothwards. There, we connected to a major path, which leads us down towards the very end of Spelhaugen. Instead of walking down to the parking place, we stepped down a steep slope and came to this gravel road, which connects Spelhaugen and Tennebekktjørna. >>>

Borga

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
12,9km

We followed E16 until the exit to Gaupås, continuing first in southeastern direction along Gaupåsvegen, before turning right, following Kvamsvegen for a short part, connecting to Haugland. There, we parked near Haugland school and started walking from there. First, we approached a farm in a place called Botn. Originally, we had planned to find the path that would lead next to Nedste and Øvste Åreina, conneting to a path that should have brought us up Vardegga. For that, however, we should have taken the slightly more northern path up Botn. Instead, we got into Kløvedet and then to Langedalsrustene---the path that we first had thought to take back down. Accepting that we had changed the orientation of our hike, we continued to the ridge that would eventually bring us to Borga, far >>>

Refreshing walk up and down Pyttane with all sorts of weather! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Liatårnet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Liatårnet .

New Løvstien (again)

Dato:
24.12.2015
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,2km

We parked along the road Klauvsteinen and walked from there---first along Klauvsteinen, before then takinng a pedestrians path up to Øvre Riplegården. After walking over the saddle (on Øvre Riplegården), we continued to the newest section of Løvstien. We then followed Løvstien down and towards Bergen, turning around the mountain along with the path. Before Løvstien gets all the way down, connecting to Løvstakkveien, some new paths lead up to a vantage spot called Skillingsbollen. The way back from there followed then basically the same as for getting there.

New Løvstien

Dato:

Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:45t
Distanse:
3,8km

We parked along the road Klauvsteinen and walked from there (first along Klauvsteinen, before then takinng a pedestrians path up to Øvre Riplegården). After walking over the saddle (on Øvre Riplegården), we found the entry point to the newest section of Løvstien. We then followed Løvstien down and towards Bergen, turning around the mountain along with the path. A lot of efforts have been put into making this path a nice one, really! :-) At a vantage point (above St. Markus kirke), we then turned around and walked back. Given the very wet weather, this was at least a short walk to get some fresh air. :-) The city of Bergen writes about the opening .
