Gardafjellet and Signalen
- Datum:
- 11.02.2017
- Tourcharakter:
- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 3:00h
- Entfernung:
- 7,0km
We took road #555 towards the west of Bergen, crossing Sotrabroen and the tunnel near Kolltveit. Turning left, right afterwards, we continued on road #555 towards Fjell, where we turned right, taking road #559 further westwards. At Ulveset, very near to the school there, we parked and started to hike.
We first followed a small road called Trippevegen in northeastern direction, up to a relatively sharp turn. There, we found the path, which leads further north (instead of following the road, which extends towards the west). We followed this path to a point, which is marked with "Litlestengelen". From there we continued without a path in northeastern direction, heading towards Gardajellet (a bit north of Kvernavatnet). Hiking was all easy (mostly because the ground was conveniently >>>
Nice hike on Vindenes
- Datum:

- Wanderung
- Tourlänge:
- 3:00h
- Entfernung:
- 8,4km
We drove westwards from Bergen, towards Sotra. After passing through the tunnel under Kolltveit, we turned right at the roundabout, continuing on road #561 in northwards direction. We drove through Knappskog to Ågotnes, where we left the main road at a roundabout, which also is the main entry point to the extended business area at Ågotnes, continuing on Bleivassvegen (again northwards) until we reached Vindenes. There we continued (just for very short) a little bit upwards onto the peninsula (to the northeast) until we found a suitable parking place near Vardhaugen (almost where the bus also turns).
From there, we walked, following first a smaller road that leads northwards a bit to the west from the road along with we had parked. After only a few meters, we passed by a parking spot (just >>>
Anekletten on Toftøyna
- Datum:

- Wanderung
- Tourlänge:
- 2:00h
- Entfernung:
- 7,2km
I drove westwards from Bergen and over to Sotra, where I turned right (and northwards), following road #561, first through Knappskog and then through Ågotnes. A bit further north, I passed over Misje, before connecting to Toftøyna. There, I drove almost to the very north of this little island (near Torsteinsvik) and parked the car right where a little road called Husdalen connects with Toftøyvegen (road #561).
On the other side of the street (on the eastern side), a path extends from the main road, leading eastwards. When crossing over a little dip, that connects to Orrdalsvatnet further south, I did not immediately see the continuation of the path and followed (instead) another path, which leads in northeastern direction. I followed this path until an area, where maybe some scouts are >>>
Svartaberget in nice winter sun
- Datum:
- 14.01.2017
- Tourcharakter:
- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 3:00h
- Entfernung:
- 9,0km
We started in Varden and used Bregnestien to get close to Gjeddevatnet as soon as possible.
Once had descended to Gjeddevatnet (basically to the place, where occasionally some bath in warmer months), we continued along the water (in northward direction). We kept going along the water, passing by Skogadotten and Skaget until we reached Gjerdsvika. Before going further to Bjørndalsvatnet (over the heights southwest of Hesjaholtet), we first made a short visit to Fureneset (very nice in the winter sun!). We then crossed over the heights west of Hesjaholtet in order to connect to Bjørndalsvatnet. We came back down to the water basically directly west of the northern most block of Hesjaholtet and managed to continue along the water (even though there is a very steep cliff to its eastern side). >>>
Gullaksdalen from Loddefjord
- Datum:

- Wanderung
- Tourlänge:
- 2:00h
- Entfernung:
- 7,7km
We parked in Frieda Fasmers vei, near Loddefjord, and started in parallel to the highway, rounding Storavatnet on its northern side. Where road 555 enters Harafjelltunnelen, we followed a major gravel road that turns southwards and leads to a place called Slettebakksmyra. There, at two points, other gravel roads depart from the one we took (at the first junction, we continued straight ahead and at the second, we turned left and upwards, following a sign to Gullaksdalen). We then continued on the gravel road until it ends. There, one can read about the history of Gullaksdalen. We then continued a few meters further, reaching a nice place with great view of Småvatnet. Only meters from there, we could see some of the historic ruins, which were described on the information board at the end >>>
Løvstakken via Nova
- Datum:
- 01.01.2017
- Tourcharakter:
- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 1:15h
- Entfernung:
- 3,3km
We parked the car at the parking place right above Litlavatnet (along Krohnegården street in upper Fyllingsdalen) and had the plan to try out a new route up Løvstakken. And so we did! :-) We started along the usual path, which leads firmly upwards (in northeastern direction towards the saddle between Ravnefellet and Løvstakken). After having past the little waterfall on our right, we found the right spot, where a less used path leaves to the right. We followed this minor path, which makes a comparably large half-circle around the waterfall (and above it), turning into a southward direction. Right above the waterfall, one needs to expect wet terrain; so good shoes are helpful, when choosing this alternative. From there, we then continued to ascend (following the kind of diagonally oriented >>>
Around Gåssandvatnet

- Entfernung:
- 10,1km
After first visiting a shop in Søfteland (along E39 from Bergen to Os), we wanted to make a hike around Gåssandvatnet. We parked our car right next to the Søfteland school and started to walk from there. First, we followed a little path, which leads southwards (parallel to E39, but not right at it, fortunately).
Our plan was to cross Storestraumen across a little bridge, which we had seen before on the map. Once we got there, however, we met an unexpected challenge: The bridge belongs to the private place on the other side of Storestraumen and it is locked with a door that is also secured by an alarm. Since we were motivated to not give up at once, we organized the telephone number of the owner of the bridge from a friendly neighbor and then called. Luckily we were then enabled to cross >>>
Ljosvollsvarden

- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 1:00h
- Entfernung:
- 3,5km
We left home in slight rain and no indication that the weather should clear up any time soon, driving via Midtun to the street, which leads up to Totland (road #183). We passed by Myrdalsvatnet and continued further upwards. Before we came to Fjellbirkeland, we parked right next to the road (at about 5.401°E/60.305°N).
From there, we took a forest road, which leads steadily upwards (in southwestern direction). Soon the light rain turned into light snowfall (a bit nicer, after all). Once we came up and the terrain became comparably flat, we left the forest road and entered the forest in order to find a connection to the "top" of Ljosvollsvarden.
We started (in the thick forest!) in southwestern direction, before we reached the end of the forest. There, we turned right (now in >>>
Storm-beaten Lyderhorn interruptus
- Datum:
- 26.12.2016
- Tourcharakter:
- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 1:00h
- Entfernung:
- 2,3km
We parked near Kjøkkelvik school on the western side of Lyderhorn and started to go from there (along Lyderhornslien). Once in Olderdalen, we started to ascend along the well-used path (upwards in southeastern direction).
Near Små-Lyderhorn, at about 275mosl, we started to feel the strong winds, which also were announced all along the southwestern coast of Norway. Only minutes later, we concluded that the winds were too strong for continuing further up along the outer (southern) side of Lyderhorn. Instead, we decided to turn around, descend into Olderdalen (instead of taking the same path back, which we had taken up), and make an attempt to connect to this other path between Lyderhornslien and Lyderhorn (a bit further north).
In principle, everything went as intended, but it must be noted >>>
Løvstakken
- Datum:
- 23.12.2016
- Tourcharakter:
- Bergtour
- Tourlänge:
- 1:15h
- Entfernung:
- 3,5km
We parked at the small parking place right above Litlavanet (along road Krohnegården). We then stepped upwards in northeastern direction (towards Ravnefjellet) and came to the small saddle between Ravnefjellet and Løvstakken soon. From there, we turned "back" towards Løvstakken (mostly in southern direction, then). Soon later, we came to the top of Løvstakken. We returned basically along the same route. Almost all the way back, a little excursion (to the upper parts of the little waterfall down there "in the western corner of Løvstakken") was added---mostly to get an idea, whether one could ascend to Løvstakken also from there "diritissima" (it seems so---to be explored!).
