Løvstakken for some fresh air

Datum:
04.11.2018
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
3,1km

Due to a lack of more time, we this time "only" made a quick hike up Løvstakken. We parked right next to Litlavatnet in Fyllingsdalen and ascended via the main path to Løvstakken from there (first towards Ravnefjellet, then around and up to Løvstakken). After a short stop at the top (in strong winds!), we returned along the same path. Always good to at least get a bit of fresh air! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Sæterfjellet on a wonderful winter day

Datum:
28.10.2018
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
7:00h
Entfernung:
14,7km

We drove from Bergen northwards on E39, continuing further in the direction of Førde after Knarvik. Right before entering Eikefettunnelen, we left E39 and continued on road 570 in northern direction. After coming by Dyrdalen, we soon reached Kjekallevågen and bridge over it. Right afterwards, on Borgaholmane, we parked and started our hike. To start, we first crossed the bridge again (now per pedes and in southern direction) and headed towards Langeneset. At exactly the point, where the bridge ends, we left the road and started our ascent to Såta, stepping up a long ridge (south of Rasmusdalen), leading up to Gamlesetra, etc. The first check-point along this route is a point at about 115mosl, where the power line, which comes southwards across Kjekallevågen, makes a turn so that it >>>

Rispingen on a beautiful day!

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
11,2km

We took the car from Bergen to Osterøy (via the bridge east of Arna) and continued then further to Bruvik along Sørfjorden, before we eventually drove up northwards (between Brøknipa and Olsnesnipa) through Bjørndalen until we parked at the large parking spot at Båtaleitet (about 350mosl). From there, we hiked along the path which leads up to Skarvenipa via Flærne (on the west of Øvstebotnen). We then continued (still on the path) towards Rispingen, coming close to Raudskredbruna. Instead of continuing on the path (directly to Rispingen), we circled Raudskredtjørna on its northeast and ascended the short stretch to Raudskredbruna, enjoying some nice views from up there. From there, we decided to head back to the path (instead of descending further down towards Stemmetjørna) and >>>

Loddo and Skaftafjellet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:30h
Entfernung:
15,2km

We took the ferry from Krokeide to Hufthammar and drove than along Huftarøy (road 154). Right next to Åkyllaren, there is a well-marked parking place for those, who wish to hike up to Loddo. We followed the main track (in southeastern direction) until we found a sign leading us on a separate track, heading north. Later, it turned out that we had left the main track too early and thus were a little bit too far west (as compared to the "red" track up to Loddo). Near Hestatjørna, we also managed to misinterpret another sign, which would have lead us back to the "red" track and up to Loddo. Instead, we followed the path further north, wondering more and more, where we had ended up! :-) After a while, we found another sign, which promised us a connection to the "blue" >>>

Nonkletten, Sørkletten, and Klubben

Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
8,4km

After a nice meeting in Fotlandsvåg, I wanted to use the afternoon to do a little hike nearby. Looking at the map, I got interested in a round near Kleppsvatnet, including Nonkletten, Sørkletten, and Klubben. I drove across Kleppsskaret and down to Kleppsvatnet (its southern end) and parked right next to the southernmost end of the lake. From there, I headed into the direction of Nonkletten, parallel to the lake. The first (short) stretch was still a forest road, leading up to a small saddle. On the other, northern side, the road turned more and more into water until it got completely exchanged for a little stream, coming down from the northeast (and heading towards Kleppsvatnet). I first followed the stream upwards through the forest, before I decided to aim at a higher route towards >>>

Vemånen, Hovden, etc.

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,4km

On this day with a "mixed" weather prediction, we decided to do a smaller hike, still trying something new. We parked near the Unneland Kultur og Aktivitetshus at Unnelandsvegen 253, 5268 Haukeland, and walked from there. Immediately after crossing the bridge over the stream that comes down from Seterdalen (as well as from Rambjørgsgjelet), heading towards Haukelandsvatnet (at Nesvika), we found the path to Vemånen (first passing by Rodalshaugen). This is a very easy to find and nice to walk path, following the ridge (mostly in northern direction) up to Vemånen. Near the top of Vemånen, one gets out of the forest and can enjoy some nice views, in particular over Haukeland and Haukelandsvatnet. The best viewpoint, however, is not at the "top" of Vemånen, but a few >>>

Algrøyna, Barmaneset, Langtrotten -- wow!

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
6,4km

We parked the cars just before entering the main village on Algrøyna and started to hike from there. It had just poored down substantially, but as we started hiking the weather improved and soon we saw some sun, also! :-) We first followed the "main road", Nordre Øyavegen, in a longer swing to the right/north, before turning left, continuing on Kongvikvegen. Before the end of this road and about where Kungvika has its western-most point, we left the road, walking around a farm house right next to the road, in order to connect to the southern side of Kungvika (and eventually to Barmaneset). Once on the "middle" peninsula of Algrøyna, we followed a path with blue marks towards the west. This path leads out on Barmaneset and to Krabbakeila at its western end. Enjoying >>>

Hiking the southern part of Strøno

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
6,1km

There was not really time for a longer hike and also it was expected that some rather heavy rain may come in the early evening. Therefore, we decided to do something smaller, i.e., a hike over Strøno south of Bergen (and west of Osøyro). We passed Fanafjellet with our car and turned right (westwards) at the military camp at Ulven. Following the street, we soon crossed over the bridge at Hillershavn to Strøno. Once on Strøno, we followed the southern street to Sørstrøno. From there, we started hiking, first following a major gravel road which passes by Strønevågen and Selvågspollen (in their northwest). Our first goal was Husfjellet, a little hill that stands a bit for its own in the very south of Strøno. We first continued on the gravel road, making a half-circle around the hill >>>

Via Purkedalsgjelet to Kofta etc.

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
7:45h
Entfernung:
18,2km

This hike, and in particular the part through Purkedalsgjelet up to Kofta, was one that asked for a careful preparation. It's recommended that you study the circumstances carefully and choose also the weather conditions appropriately. In order to enjoy this hike, you should (a) be at least somewhat experienced with hiking in the mountains around Bergen, in particular also without a path (finding your way, etc.) and (b) choose a dry day on which you can expect that there would not be too much water coming down Purkedalsgjelet (I'd rather not go this hike when snow is melting on Gullfjellet, or after some heavy rain). Take care (and enjoy)! :-) We parked along the road from Os to Samnanger (#137), which passes Gullfjellet on its eastern (generally very steep) side. Actually, we first missed >>>

Rimstigfjellet via Rimstigen

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
10,2km

We took road E16 to Gudvangen first, before continuing from there towards Bakka on the western side of Nærøyfjorden. Only a short bit after Bakka, we found a good way to park next to the road. We then hiked the impressive Rimstigen up---what a path up through this very steep terrain right next to the fjord?! Wow! At about 700mosl, the path flattens out (a bit), leading into a side valley, exending westwards (and away from the fjord). Up there, it is really very lovely! After walking for short along a not so steep path, the trail heads up Skarsbakkane (steep again), right next to a little stream (also called Tufteelvi up there?) with a nice waterfall quite high up on the mountain side! At about 1100mosl, one gets over "the second step" in this hike, meeting Skarsvotni right >>>
