Nice round on Herdla

Datum:
16.02.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,7km

With yet another sunny day on the horizon, we thought that visiting Herdla (after a long time again) would be nice. We thus drove across Askøy and parked near the church of Herdla. We then walked along Herdlevegen to get first to Valen. After following the "inner" shoreline (to Herdlevågen), we followed a historic access road up Småkalvsøyna, exploring some of the still present WWII positions there. From the southeastern "top" of Småkalvsøyna, we then aimed directly at Storakalvsøyna, right in the east of Småkalvsøyna. This brought us to the southeastern end of Paddehola, offering some nice views from there. We also crossed over the south end of this isthmus, enjoying some additional nice views also from there. From there, we then found a reasonable way up >>>

Kannikahaugen from Bildøybakken

Datum:
15.02.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
12,0km

With a really nice weather forecast, we just wished to use the good weather for a nice walk. The idea was to start at Bildøyfjellet, north of Liatårnet on Sotra, and then hike a (squished) round from there (without any plan to actually ascend to Pyttane nor Liatårnet). We parked right next to Bildøybakken, not far from the corner, where one can also drive to Liaskjeret. Instead of using the access road towards the dam of Bildøyvatnet, we aimed at Bildøyfjellet directly (and without a trail). Given the below freezing temperatures, we found the conditions just right for such an off-trail ascent. Within not too long, we then arrived at Bildøykletten (and at the trail, there). We then followed the trail southwards (via Steinane and Vardafjellet). Before descending to Fjellfestningen, >>>

Hananipa

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
6,5km

We expected a nice day and tought that Hananipa would be a nice goal. In fact, we tought that making a nice round, including Raudnipa and/or Trollabotsvarden, would be a good idea. We drove out of Bergen into the direction of Voss and left road E16 at Trengereid to drive up to Nordre Skulstad. There, we parked and started our hike by heading towards Geitshushaugen, first, and then further up to Åsen, before connecting to Brunane. After following Brunane all the way up, we then continued up to Hananipa via its western ridge. Already at home, we had talked about the slightly steep section from Hananipa down to Sauaskaret; when then stepping towards this section, we concluded that we did not feel safe enough (with all the snow etc.). We thus turned around and headed back down the western >>>

Hausdalshorgi via Edne from Hausdalen

Datum:
01.02.2025
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
10,8km

On the map, we had started wondering whether it should not be alright to ascend to Hausdalshorgi from Hausdalen. With some over-optimistic hopes for some sun, we headed into Hausdalen and parked at the very end of the road, where we often would start to hike into Brekkedalen. The idea was to walk a short stretch further up Hausdalen, before then aiming at a ridge in the south of Hausdalshorgi with the name of Edne on it on the map. East of Langhaugen, where a stream comes down from Hausdalshorgi, we then left the main trail, which leads further into Hausdalen, seeing where it would be best to get up to the targeted ridge. After crossing the stream, we saw with some positive surprise that quite obviously this place was used to get higher up the hillside long before us, already (while no >>>

Lauvåsen in Jordalen

Datum:
19.01.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
54,0km

We had discussed a possible hike up to Storsåta, northeast of Jordalen. The first qualification that happened was our decision to approach Jordalen with our bikes. All this worked nicely and smoothely, using the bike-tunnel between Fyllingsdalen and Minde. The next qualification then was to cross over to Munkebotn via Fløyfjellet. After checking out two options to do so that did not work out (at Lappen and Knatten we read that cycling is not allowed on Søre Kamvei!), we took a route up from Skansemyren. Passing by Skomakerdiket, we then quickly crossed over Fløyfjellet before making it further to Storevatnet and then further down to Munkebotn (the descent from Fløyfjellet down to Munkebotn is quite steep, though). At Munkebotsvatnet, we made a short break to enjoy our packed lunch. >>>

Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren

Datum:
18.01.2025
Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
17,1km

Given a rather wet winter day, we decided to explore a place, which we had on our radar for a while, already: Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren near Loddefjord. To add a bit to this plan, we decided to combine this excursion with a bike-trip there and back. After first cycling north on Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord, we chose to cross the bridge at Hetlevikstraumen and continue to Loddefjord on the west-side of Bjørndalspollen. At Loddefjord, we once again ended up in this dead-end loop for pedestrians at the north end of Bjørndalspollen (without any reasonable option to cross the road over to Loddefjord -- what a city planning mistake?!!). After quickly looping back, we made it onto the road and thus further northwards to the access road for the transformer at Grøvledalen. >>>

Storhovden with snow shoes

Datum:
04.01.2025
Tourcharakter:
Schneeschuhtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
6,4km

With quite a bit of snow around, still, we thought that it was the right day for taking our snow shoes out and into Kanadaskogen! From Varden, we first headed to Hesjaholten, where we put on the snow shoes. After stepping up (and around) Litla Krokatjørna, we crossed a hill to connect to Stora Krokatjørna. There, we decided to also include a visit to Storhovden (via Syningen). After a short round on the heights of Storhovden, we started our walk back. To round this excursion, we aimed at Langaheia via Spelhaugen. Always fun to venture into deep snow with snow shoes, but not easy-going to make many kilometers under such circumstances! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Stroll through snow and sun around Bjørndalsvatnet

Datum:
01.01.2025
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
8,2km

A snowy day with nice weather: a good reason for making a stroll in the neighborhood! We started with Eldtona on Knappefjellet before "turning around" and heading northwards to make a round around Bjørndalsvatnet before returning back to Varden. Not a very long hike, but very nice with the snow and some sun, also! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Løvstakken and Løvstien

Datum:
30.12.2024
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
8,8km

Together with friends, we had decided to use the afternoon for a short hike in the local area. We parked in the east of Litlavatnet in the northeast of Fyllingsdalen and headed up to Løvstakken following the main trail from the parking place. From the top of Løvstakken, we then descended towards the southeast using a minor trail a bit further east than the main trail in the south of Løvstakken. This brought us down to Løvstien, which we then followed (in northern direction) to complete a round back to Fyllingsdalen. Our timing was just right to cross over Løvstakken without any need for head lights -- down on Løvstien, we then took advantage of the installed lights. At the end of the hike, it started to snow, adding a nice touch to the overall experience! :-) Selected photos are available >>>
