Cape Hauy

Datum:
06.11.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
10,9km

When doing the rough overall-planning of our trip through Tasmania, we had put down two major goals: the "Wild West" of Tasmania as well as the south-east (with either Bruny Island and/or the Tasman Peninsula). While changing over from the west to the southeast, we then decided to focus on the Tasman Peninsula (instead of trying too much in only a few days). Connecting to the Tasman Peninsula was easy and straight-forward from Hobart. We had seen that one can do several, also multiple days long hikes there, so we had to choose. First, we thought that we could explore Cape Hauy, starting from Fortescue Bay. To get there, we had to navigate a several kilometers long forest road (on gravel). While this was not 100% pleasant, it still was fully OK and we arrived in Fortescue Bay >>>

Unplanned Mount Owen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
11,3km

We had used most of the day to participate in a boat cruise on Macquarie Harbour (from Strahan), seeing the feared entry point (Hells Gates), the Gordon river (on the far, southeastern end of Macquarie Harbour) and the jungle around it, as well as Sarah Island (with all its dark history as a penal station). After all of this, we had no more plan than just driving a bit into the direction of the Central Highlands. Driving out of Strahan, we first headed towards Queenstown, which is strongly characterized by previous and current mining operations. This place did not appear inviting to us at all and we continued further eastwards (up the Lyell Highway Pass, first). As soon as we got close to the highest point on that saddle, we read a sign that hinted upon the opportunity to see a nice waterfall >>>

Cradle Mountain in lovely weather

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:30h
Entfernung:
13,1km

We started the day at the Cradle Mountain Visitor Centre at 4057 Cradle Mountain Road from where we took a shuttle bus up to the end of the road at Dove Lake. There, we first enjoyed beautiful views across the still lake, reflecting Cradle Mountain from behind and its surrounding landscape. We then started our hike on the east-side of Dove Lake, briefly checking out Glacier Rock, before then using the slightly minor trail up to Hansons Peak (Lake Rodway Track). Already this part was very nice, with views both across Dove Lake (to the west) as well as eastwards (once up on the ridge). From Hansons Peak, we then crossed over to the Face Track, which brought us, between Cradle Mountain in the south and Dove Lake in the north, to the west-side of Cradle Mountain. There, we connected to the >>>

Nice round through the Rocky Cape National Park

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
17,3km

After a nice morning in Devonport, we decided to use the beautiful weather for a hike through Rocky Cape National Park. To get there, we followed the Bass Highway along the norther coast (in western, northwestern direction). In the area of Boat Harbour, we turned right and onto road C232 to Sisters Beach. In Sisters Beach, we oriented us towards the Boat Ramp (at the very northwestern end of Sisters Beach). There, we also found a good place to park the car. Since we had planned for a round through the Rocky Cape National Park, starting along the Inland route (over the hills), we aimed at the trailhead a few meters southwest of the parking place. After a few moments of searching this trailhead, we nicely located it along one of the sideroads. From there, it was then easy to follow the >>>

Lilly Pilly Gully

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
5,6km

Originally, we also had an idea to hike up to Mount Oberon in Wilsons Prom. Since we were unable to find some reasonable parking near Telegraph Saddle, we made a quick change of plans to also walk into Lilly Pilly Gully, just a little bit back along the road. From the carpark, we first walk almost level into the jungle (along the Lilly Pilly Gully Trail) until we got to the starting point of the Lilly Pilly Gully Boardwalk. This little round, in the middle of a dense jungle, is really impressive. One take-away impresssion from this place is that one would not be surprised, if suddenly a dinosaur walked "around the corner"! :-) After enjoying this little round, we then completed the Lilly Pilly Gully Circuit by taking "the higher route" back (which would also bring one >>>

Bekhilderen south of Telavåg

Tourcharakter:

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 >>>

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 >>>

Eldsfjellet from the north

Tourcharakter:

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

Tourcharakter:

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

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 >>>
