Langaneset from Vadmyra

Datum:
26.10.2024
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
5,4km

Not much to write. Stretching my legs a little, taking a look at Loddefjord kirke (and also at Frasmers Møllestein). Then exploring Langaneset in Storavatnet. More rain was expected, but we take it with less, also, I think! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Instenova and Ytstenova on Alden

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
6,2km

We had stayed on Værøyna over night and then could borrow a small boat to get over to Alden. We "parked" the boat at the main quay in Aldevågen and started our hike from there. Following the one trail that leads up to the top(s) of Alden, we made quick progress -- the terrain is very steep, but the trail is very good and easy to step up. Once up to about 300 masl, we headed towards the hightest peak on Alden, Instenova, in the East of the island. Following the main trail, we could nicely make it to the top without any difficulties. Clearly, one gets lots of great views from the heights on Alden -- very nice! :-) After our visit to Instenova, we then wished to also see "the other top", Ytstenova, on Alden. To get there, we crossed over the heights, passing by the >>>

Skåldalsnipa direttissima via Moldalia

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
5,1km

The idea was to ascend to Skåldalsnipa "direttissima" via Moldalia. Why not? Not a good idea on a wet day -- probably true. Still, this is what happened anyway. Consider with care, if you -- for whatsoever reason -- wished to do the same. From the road with name Moldalia it was first "gently upwards" in eastern direction, walking along a proper forest road / trail. As soon as after passing by the last houses, however, it was into the forest and up the slope. From this point, and up to Skåldalsnipa, it was then mostly a climbing effort using all four extremities. Also, there was quite some vegetation to get around. Quite a bit of this vegetation, however, was also helpful to provide some additional grip. Once above about 500 masl (and there above the tree line), >>>

Kongsberg north of Ulvik

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
8,1km

With relatively low-hanging clouds, we aimed at a simple hike that would remain beneath the clouds, but still offer some nice views, hopefully. After some consideration, we thought that hiking up to Kongsberg near Ulvik could be a good solution. We took the road up from Ulvik to Aurdal and parked right next to the road right after passing over Verafossen. From there, we then followed a forest road that lead initially into Seljestidalen, before then winding up towards Klyvhals on the southeastern side of this valley. South of Røyneskor, this forest road leads then westwards (to Vestrheimskleppe). There, one eventually gets to see over the treetops further below and down to Ulvikafjorden. To continue further upwards to Kongsberg it is then mostly to just follow the forest road further. >>>

From Odda to Buardalen via Ruklenuten

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
8:00h
Entfernung:
12,1km

We wished to make a nice hike from Odda and found Eidesnuten as a worthwhile hiking target, promising nice views in multiple directions. Starting from Eidesåsen, some 250masl and about 150 heights meters above Eide in the south of Odda, we followed a very well-marked trail. Even though one may expect more hikers on such a well-treated trail, we did not meet anyone. Within not too long, we arrived at Eidesnuten and found that our expectations regarding the views were indeed well-founded. Not only could we see northwards and out Hardangerfjorden, north of Odda, as well as southwards, across the large lake Sandvinvatnet, but also we got some nice views over to Buarbreen, already from Eidesnuten. From Eidesnuten, our goal had been to ascend further upwards to Ruklenuten (in the northwest >>>

Vikanuten

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:30h
Entfernung:
9,1km

We left work early on this Friday and managed to start hiking around 15h15 right next to road #49 in the southwest of Jondal, where Renndalen comes down from Vikanuten. We followed the very well marked trail upwards, first on the east-side of Renndalen. At about 200masl, we crossed Gjelet to the western side of the valley, continuing our (steep) ascent to Vikanuten then this side. The trail upwards is well-marked and easy to find -- it's definitely steep, but no climbing is necessary (near the top, a few times it is helpful to use a hand in addition for additional stability, though). Especially once above the tree line (maybe around 650masl), one can enjoy marvelous views across Hardangerfjorden from this ascent. Roughly 1050masl, one finds a nice cairn which is marking a particularly >>>

Lyderhorn as a nice extra

Datum:

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
3,2km

After first exploring Lysøya and then taking a look at Lyseklosteret , we decided that we were still up for a short visit to Lyderhorn. We parked north of Kjøkkelvikskole (along Gamle Kjøkkelvikveien), and then followed the "standard trail" up to Små-Lyderhorn (via Olderdalen). The last 130 height meters, approximately, are then "straight up" to Lyderhorn in a northwards direction, scaling the rather steep southern side of the mountain. After enjoying some nice views from the top, we then took an alternative route down (first further northwards, down to about 330 masl, before then turning left). While first taking the right turn left, after descending northwards along the main trail from the top of Lyderhorn, we then still got confused (regarding the right spot for starting the off-main-trail descent) and included >>>

Skogsøy, always impressive!

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
5,7km

Skogsøy is always ("always") a good idea! :-) We parked near the bridge to Herdlevær and followed the main trail to Skogsøytua. There, we explored the wild cliffs before then taking the southern route back to Mjelkevik. From there, we then followed the main trail back to the car. While Skogsøy is no longer as secret a tip as it was before, it's still a very nice hike to an impressive place (where "the last resort" of Norwegian land meets the open North Atlantic)!

Søtefjellet from Hausdalen

Datum:
20.07.2024
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:30h
Entfernung:
10,4km

We wished to use the nice weather on this warm Saturday afternoon and headed for Hausdalen in the southeast of Bergen. Driving Hausdalen in for a little less than 7km, we parked in the southwest of Tømmervika (Samdalsvatnet), where a forest road forks off Hausdalsvegen into the direction of Straumsrinden. Following this forest road, we passed by Samdalsvatnet in its southwest, heading for the southwestern ridge of Søtefjellet, starting at Hisbotn. Just because others have described their ascent to the small hill in the north of Ulvvatnet (and even though they did not recommend to visit it -- or maybe because of their according comments :-)), this hill was included as a prelude to the ascent to Søtefjellet. Back on the forest road, and "around some corners in the northeast of Ulvvatnet, >>>

Rax from Preiner Gscheid

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:30h
Entfernung:
13,9km

The weather looked promising (fine enough) to attempt the Rax, south of Wien. Starting early, we arrived at Preiner Gscheid (about 1070 masl) at about 8h30 in the morning. To make height meters quickly, we ascended (mostly northwards) along the skiing track that comes down in parallel to Rettenbach (in the northeast). At about 1340 masl (just a short distance from Waxrieglhaus in the east), we then entered Karlgraben in order to ascend (steeply) to Karl-Ludwig-Haus. We arrived at the Rax-heights at Thörl, before then walking over to Karl-Ludwig-Haus. From there, it's an easy stroll to Raxkircherl at Wetterkogel. Further upwards, we continued to Heukuppe via Schneegrubensattel. From there, we then returned to Karl-Ludwig-Haus, where we enjoyed a nice break with something to eat and drink. >>>
