Kongsfjellet via Kongskleivo

Datum:
23.07.2020
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
3,8km

Before returning from Austevoll, we decided to include Kongsfjellet near Bekkjarvik. Passing by Bekkarvik church, we headed toward the starting point of Kongskleivo, i.e., the newly layed stone path up to Kongsfjellet. After first rounding Taushaugen in its east and south, we started with stepping up the big stone steps, ascending to the "top" of Taushaugen before continuing to Kongsfjellet. At Kongsfjellet, we enjoyed some nice views in all directions (mostly across Bekkjarvik and southwards). We then walked a bit across the ridge of Kongsfjellet before hurrying down the stone steps, again, in order to secure a relaxed drive back to the ferry in Hufthammar. All in all, Kongskleivo is, yes, impressive due to the big stones, while then, also, kind of boring. The views from Kongsfjellet, >>>

Vinnesvatnet and Veten

Datum:
22.07.2020
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
5,5km

We took the ferry from Krokeide to Hufthammar and continued southwards from there, following the road into the direction of Husavik (road 546). After passing Husavik, we approached Vinnes, making a spontaneous decision to visit Vinnesvatnet from there. We parked near Hoppensprett kindergarten and started walking along a gravel path that leads very nicely around Vinnesvatnet. On the western side of Vinnesvatnet, we also visited the little island in Vinnesvatnet, walking across a nice little hanging bridge. At the northern end of Vinnesvatnet, where the gravel path deviates a bit from the lake, we started following a trail leading to Veten. After first ascending significantly, we then had a pleasant walk over the heights in the southeast of Veten. Eventually, we came to Veten, enjoying >>>

Visiting Kavlane from Kallestad

Datum:
11.07.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
12,2km

Hoping for a bit of OK weather, we aimed at the islands in the west of Bergen. Road 555 brought us to Sotra, where we turned south. Passing by Fjell and continuing along road 555 into the direction of Hammarsland, we turned right after Dalseidet, taking road 203 towards Kallestad. There, we parked right next to Grendahuset, starting our hike from there, passing by a few of the houses of Kallestad before getting "out into the wild", west of Kallestad. While the first meters past the last house are still on a kind of gravel road, this quickly changes into a nicely marked trail (Nordsjøløypen), which passes by Stølstjørna (in its southwest), then turning westwards, again, leading through a minor valley to Kjereidet. There, Kørelen (in the south) empties into Kjereidosen (in >>>

Skåldalsfjellet from Bjørndalen

Datum:
04.07.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:30h
Entfernung:
8,1km

We drove past Grimevatnet and Haukelandsvatnet into the direction of Osavatnet near Gullfjellet, but stopped next to Gullfjellsvegen where the road crosses a small saddle between Ramsdalshovden in the east and Vemånen in the west to continue along Skåldalselva from there. Leaving our car behind, we continued along this road walking, first around Ramsdalshovden on the right (south) and then around Hjelterinden on the left (north). At Søre Bjørndalen, we used a bridge which leads over Skåldalselva to a few houses on the north-side of the valley. Once on this other side, there, we continued first further along a simple road (passing by Nordre Bjørndalen), before starting our actual ascent to Skåldalsfjellet via Høgrusten. On Norgeskart, we had seen that -- while not on a trail -- it >>>

Kofta (and Gullfjellet) from Nordbø

Datum:
20.06.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
6:00h
Entfernung:
12,6km

For at least two years, already, we had (occasionally) considered this hike: Kofta from Nordbøbotnen. After a relaxing morning, and knowing that the days are (very) long at this time of the year, we decided to go and do it. We drove from Bergen (via E16 first, then across Gullbotn) and left road #7 right after Hisdalstunnelen (to the right), where it leads on into the direction of Osøyro. Driving down road #137 for only a short stretch, we came to Nordbø, where we turned right (again), now in northern direction. From there, we continued for just about 850m, or so, until we had passed the last house. There, before entering the forest, we parked next to the road. We first walked along the forest road (the same road that we had come in with the car further down) up to about 200mosl (only >>>

Storenuten and Vardane

Datum:
14.06.2020
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:30h
Entfernung:
9,3km

We expected (for good reasons) a nice Sunday and thus aimed at a nice (new) hike! We had looked at Storenuten, south of Vaksdal, not very far from Bergen. Taking road E16 into the direction of Voss, we turned right in Vaksdal, after driving through Bogatunnelen. We then rounded Sørbø, in the south of Vaksdal, passing by the non-small church of Vaksdal. We then followed what previously must have been the main road to Bergen in southern direction, getting to Bogo within a bit. At Ytre Bogo we parked along Bogavegen and started our hike there. After a careful study of the map (at home), we aimed for Storenuten "as directly as possible". This, clearly, is non-trivial, without a trail, and should be planned carefully when considered! Alternatively, one may follow a nice trail, >>>

Kanadaskogen

Datum:
13.06.2020
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
8,7km

With only limited time at our disposal, we "simply" headed for Kanadaskogen. Passing by Gjeddevatnet (coming from Varden), we stepped upwards from Gjerdsvika. This time, we included Allestadhaugen (between Hesjaholten and Bjørndalsvatnet), before descending to the eastern side of Bjørndalsvatjnet. At the very northern end of Bjørndalsvatnet, where one still finds the remains of some former building, we followed the valley upwards (in northern direction), but just 25 height meters, or so. There, we turned left, first following a trail for a short while, before then continuing "straight" upwards to Træshovden through the forest. At Træshovden, we decided the Svartaberget make up a nice next goal (and off we headed there). Due to its very steep western side, Svartaberget >>>

Hovlandsnuten and Etlådnefjellet

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
5:15h
Entfernung:
11,8km

For years, we had talked about "one day" visiting Tysnes and doing some nice hike there. This weekend, with warm and sunny weather, seemed to be perfect to actually do it! :-) We drove from Bergen to Halhjem (southwest of Osøyro) and took the ferry to Vågen from there. Already this crossing of Bjørnafjorden was nice, with nice views towards south and east! Once on Tysnes, we drove first east (towards Lundegrend). There, we turned right (and south) and crossed over to the southeastern side of Tysnes (Hovland & Tveit). Our plan was to go a nice round over Hovlandsnuten, maybe the most spectacular mountain on Tysnes (not the hightest though). We parked near Tveitneset and started to hike along a forest road that extends southwards (parallel to the steep mountain side there, >>>

Nonkletten and Storavika on Korsneset

Datum:
30.05.2020
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,8km

With limited time available, and a nice, warm, and sunny day, we decided to make a medium-long hike on Korsneset with nice Storavika as our main trip goal. Driving by Krokeide and continuing further onto Korsneset, we continued all the way to the junction east of Tverrhaugen, where parking is conveniently possible. Before heading towards Storvika, we wished to include Nonkletten, northeast of the parking place. We thus walked for a few meters back the road that we had come. Maybe some 200m into this, we turned left onto a proper trail, leaving in northwards direction. This trail leads nicely upwards to a nice minor hill in the west of Nonkletten. There, on a minor saddle at about 95mosl, we decided to leave the trail and head eastwards into the direction of Nonkletten. Even though one >>>
