Exploring the Botanic Gardens of Melbourne

Datum:
23.10.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
5,3km

We had a bit of time to explore Melbourne. Starting at the Southbank, we first walked along the Yarra river to get to the Royal Botanic Gardens. After making a nice round through the park, we returned back (just in time before dinner). Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Biking to and from Krambua

Datum:
08.10.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
17,6km

We started with the assumption that there was a joint hike agreed upon, starting from Krambua. After refilling some air, we biked along Sælevatnet and Nordåsvatnet to Krambua (just to find out that, yes, there was an agreement to hike, but not for this Sunday! :-)). We thus took our bikes back home, including a bit of a detour (first up through Langeskogen, then via Bønes to Fyllingsdalen). Altogether a nice bike-ride in nice weather! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Saturday walk to Knappen

Datum:
07.10.2023
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
4,8km

One of our afternoon walks to Knappen, enjoying some nice weekend weather. While we stepped up along one of our more usual routes (via Sandeidbrotet, continuing to Knappen via Eldtona), we chose a partially off-trail route down to Knappenveien. Good to get a bit of fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Bekhilderen south of Telavåg

Datum:
24.09.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
9,0km

Between the rain, and also taking the tide schedule into account, late Sunday morning offered a promising opportunity to visit Bekhilderen in the south of Telavåg. While approaching Telavåg with the car, we found a convenient spot at the side of Telavågvegen to park the car (just some 200 meters south of the sports arena of Telavåg. From there, we walked first along Selstøsjøen and then Håvarden. If you watch out for them, you can actually see small blue markers (Nordsjøløypa), leading the way. Before reaching house #33 at Håvarden, one then follows the gravel road towards the southeast. At the end of this (short) gravel road, one comes down to the inner parts of Selstøvågen and only a few meters towards the east, one then finds Selstøkverna, an old, renovated mill. After >>>

Biking detour in Fyllingsdalen

Datum:
16.09.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
12,1km

While en route to a local supermarket for some shopping, I decided to bike a little detour. First, I surrounded Sælevatnet in its south. I then took the steep way up to Bønes/Fjellsdalen. I then cycled around Lyshovden in its northeast. After passing by Oasen, I decided to make a brief exploration of Skulehaugen -- kind of strange to passing by this little hill (almost) every day, but never actually making it up to its "top". After that, it was mostly to the shop and then back home -- so not so much to write, today... See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Bergens lengste bakke, one of the classics near Bergen!

Datum:
09.09.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:15h
Entfernung:
12,8km

For a while, already, we had discussed that it absolutely was high time, again, for one of the nice classics in the vicinity of Bergen: up to Sydpolen from Brekkedalen! Since the weather seemed to hold throughout the day, we were quick to choose this hike for the day! :-) Driving into Hausdalen from E39 (south of Bergen), we aimed at the parking place at the very end of the road (basically where Brekkedalen splits off from Hausdalen). Hoping that we would not be too late to also find a free spot for our car, we then were relieved to actually find the parking place "only" half full (at about 11h). We quickly got started, heading into Brekkedalen along the gravel road. As soon as we approached Sandane, we also could look up to Sydpolen, already (always an impressive sight). Continuing >>>

Accidental Stemhaugen

Datum:
26.08.2023
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
20,2km

The primary goal of this trip was to just do a bit of shopping! :-) Once on my bike, however, I immediately thought that making a short detour, first, would be good. I thus started along Bjørgeveien and headed northwards towards Bjørndalen. South / southeast of Lyderhorn, I then connected to Liavatnet. As I came towards the northern end of Liavatnet, I thought that this was maybe my chance to include a short visit to Stemhaugen! :-) North of the dam that holds back Liavatnet, I thus left my bike behind and found my way (rather "way") up to Stemhaugen via its northern ridge (no trail, steep, but not difficult). I then crossed over the top of Stemhaugen, enjoying some nice views down to Liavatnet and over to Lyderhorn. On my way down (still in southern direction), I made it >>>

Eldsfjellet from the north

Datum:
20.08.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
8,0km

We had not been on Eldsfjellet for a while -- not the two of us, at least! Eldsfjellet is -- for good reasons -- a relatively popular hiking destination (it's not really high, as a mountain, but since it's standing out of its surrounding quite a bit, one can expect quite nice views from its heights). Here on Peakbook, as well as on other hiking platforms, one can easily get the impression that everyone (or "everyone") hikes up to Eldsfjellet from its south, either from the parking spot near Alvhøyen along Skjelangervegen, or from Skurtveit via Skurtveitvegen. Harald 's approach from the northwest is a notable exception, of course! :-) Even though it looked like off-trail a lot, we made a plan to approach Eldsfjellet from the north, instead. The idea was to follow Skjelangervegen further and around Eldsfjellet, >>>

Liatårnet from Liaskjeret

Datum:
11.08.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:30h
Entfernung:
9,1km

We took the car from Bergen towards the west, crossing over Sotrabrua. In the west of Bildøya, we turned south (onto Døsjevegen), driving to Liaskjeret in the east of Liatårnet. From Liaskjærshallen, we then started our hike with our first goal being the trail that leads up to Liatårnet from Hølo. To get there, we had the choice between walking along Liaskjervegen for a good stretch and the alternative of following a simple trail above (in the west) of the houses. Choosing the latter, we first walked up Elvabakkvegen to get to the nearest trail head near house #11. A few hundred meters further west (and up a little), we then turned right (northwards), aiming for Skoradalen via a simple trail. West of Skogsbrekko, however, we did not really find a good way to continue further to >>>

Møsnuken from Heggeland and Gjemdalsskaret

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
7,9km

We thought that crossing over Møsnuken from Gjemdal / Heggeland (in the east) to Krokvatnet (in the north) and then returning via Gjemdalsskaret back to the starting point sounded like a nice idea. :-) Accordingly, we took the new E39 connection from Bergen to Osøyro, just to continue into Hegglandsdalen from there (road 579). After passing by Tveitavatnet, we found a place to leave our car (quite near to where Spannsteigselva comes down from Gjemdalsskaret). Instead of following the gravel road up to Gjemdalsskaret from Gjemdal (to then connect to the trail that leads up to Tveitaskaret), we aimed at an ascent route through the forest in the west of Spannsteigselva (without trail). Near house #659 along Hegglandsdalsvegen we stepped onto a simple field road, leading steeply upwards into >>>
