With my daughter Vår to the summit of Mount Storhornet

Date:
30.04.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:57h
Distance:
3.3km

I had a combined hike and run to Mount Storhornet with my daughter Vår vaarsolholm (Vår Solholm) on this day. We wanted to see how quickly we could get up there (from the parking lot at Hestvika - i.e. The Horse's Bay). We walked quickly up to the plateau where Lake Alnesvatnet is located, then run east along the edge of the plateau, before we continued with quick walking up the mountain ridge towards Storhornet, with a final short run even at the little summit "plateau". As we were pushing on all the way up, I actually also used my Endomondo App as a stop-watch; which is why I only tracked the climb up, and not the descent back down from the mountain on this occasion. For a more thorough trail description, and for a more proper GPS tracking, see my tour description from March 26th 2016, when I climbed the >>>

Evening Hike Up Mount Ulriken

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:46h
Distance:
1.8km

This evening I hiked Mount Ulriken. I started out from my Bergen apartment just behind Haukeland University Hospital, and hiked along a trail that goes pretty much parallel to the cable car, though it also crosses a few time underneath the cable line. This route is very nice, in that it goes through the forrest until you've come to the forrest boundary; thereafter it just goes through heather and over stones and rock. I arrived at the area of the upper cable car stop just in time for the sunset, and managed to capture some nice images.
