Two old stone crosses in Eivindvik

Datum:
09.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
0,7km

After visiting Gulatinget east of Eivindvik, we continued to Eivindvik to see the two old stone crosses there, also. We parked near the harbor and first walked up to Gulen church (east of the harbor) to see the first cross (Olavskorset). It's standing there with some help now after it broke into two when a nearby tree was cut down in 2012. From there, one can already see the other cross (Korset i Krossteigen), standing a bit up in Krossteigen some (maybe) 250 meters further north. An accordingly short walk brought us up there then. This second cross is interesting as it seems to show some celtic flair. To compensate for that, maybe, they added a smaller, Latin cross (by embossing it out of the main cross). Clearly worth a close look! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page >>>

Gulatinget near Eivindvik

Entfernung:
0,6km

On our way northwards through Gulen, we stopped by Gulatinget near Eivindvik. Following road 605 from Nordgulen (and road 57 there) we stopped once near Guløyna and explored the park (Tusenårsstaden) and the monument of Bård Breivik (Tingveggen). We also enjoyed a nice chat with one person there, who was very kind to explain some of the related history to us! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Gjenekletten and Søre Sandknappen on Blomøyna

Datum:
19.06.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
7,3km

We were up for another trip to Øygarden and chose Blomøyna for a short hike. We left Bergen towards the west and turned right (northwards) on Sotra near Kolltveit. We then followed road #561 until we passed Rong and arrived at Blomøyna via the bridge over Ulvsundet. We then parked right next to road Blomøyvegen (south of Søre Sæle). From there, we first walked along the road (northwards) for a bit (until we had walked around Blomvatnet on our left). There, at Blom, we then left the road towards the right (north) in order to find a connection to Gjenekletten. We first found a proper trail, leading to house #255. Before getting there, we then left this trail and crossed over a little ditch in the northwest of this house. Further north, however, we couldn't see any nice continuation >>>

Gulltjørna from Risnes

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

We liked the idea to paying Gulltjørna another visit and we also liked the idea to do it, again, from the north. Following E16 into the east of Bergen, we left the main road near Romslo in order to connect to the old, narrow road that would bring us closer to Risnes. We found a spot where we could park alongside the road just a short stretch before actually getting all the way to Risnes. From there, we walked first for a short stretch along the road in order to get to our starting point of the actual hike. Right next to the bridge over the stream that comes down there through Risnes, we saw that one could use the steps of the water processing building there to get a bit further up (and away from the road). Where the stairs end, however, one needs to revert to actual hiking (there it's >>>

Biking around Hordnesskogen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
31,8km

With also the other bike repaired, we headed for a new biking-round around Nordåsvatnet. Again, we started our joint ride near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading south (into the direction of Nesttun). This time, we surrounded Kristianborgvannet on the other, eastern side, though. Following the main bike route southwards, we eventually ended up in Rådalen. There, we decided that we would bike around Hordnesskogen in its south. Afte first following Rådalen further south (to the north of the school at Stend), we then turned right and onto Hordesvegen. Near house #202 along Hordnesvegen, we then came to a parking opportunity for those, who wish to start into Hordnesskogen from the south there. There, we headed into Hordnesskogen (in northwestern direction) for a few hundred >>>

Round around Ono

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
3:00h
Entfernung:
9,3km

While checking for new places in Øygarden that we had not visited so far, we found Ono and decided to make a hike there. After driving first westwards out of Bergen (towards Sotra), we then turned right (in northern direction) near Kolltveit, following then road #561. At Rong, we then turned left (westwards, again) in order to get over to Ono (passing the school of Rong along Svartevikvegen). After crossing two small bridges, we had arrived at Ono. There, we parked "at once" next to the road Onevegen. The southern part of Ono is well marked for hikers -- especially those, who wish to visit Dethloffhytta in the southwest of Ono. We followed first this main trail (in southwestern direction) until we crossed over the inner end of Stekkane. On the other, southern side, we then >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
25,0km

We had a bike to pick up and wished to ride a little round -- not at the least to also see that it was functioning as well as expected. We started the joint ride at the bike shop near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading first southwards along Kanalveien and then following the track of the no longer existing railway into the direction of Nesttun. At the church of Skjold, we then turned right and cycled down to Skjoldbukta along Harald Skjolds veg. From there, we then cycled up to Nordåsvegen, which we then followed "all around" Nordåsen. On the south, we then descended to Steinsvikvegen. Following Steinsvikvegen around Steinsviken and Søviken, we connected to Søreide and from there further northwards to Sandeidet. All in all, a nice bike ride! :-) See also the >>>

Gullsteinen from Varden

Datum:
28.05.2023
Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
7,8km

We wished to get some fresh air and thus headed for Gullsteinen (from Varden). We first descended from Varden to Sælevatnet, before then surrounding Bondegården in its north. Via Ture Nermans vei we then connected to Rekdalsveien, which we then followed "all the way up" to the point, where one can step down some stairs to the sports area in Fjellsdalen. We then stepped up Hattedalen to get to Bråtet. From there, we then started our ascent to Gullsteinen. While one of us found a way (more a "way"!) up to Knultrane, the other one continued along the gravel road to Nils Langhellesvei (where we met, again, then). From there, it was then up via the southern ridge to Gullsteinen, mostly following the nice trails along this ridge. From the top of Gullsteinen, however, >>>

Rindafjellet from Gåssand (wow!)

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
8:00h
Entfernung:
17,0km

We expected a nice Sunday and headed out for a special "project": Rindafjellet from Gåssand! This clearly became a bit of an adventure and (quite) a bit of a challenge, also. It may be good to read the following before possibly retracing our hiking track (the hike was very nice, yes, but also a bit long and very steep up to Rindafjellet!). We drove south from Bergen (along E39 into the direction of Os) and took the small road that leads to Gåssand, after all. Before actually coming to the south end of Ytsta Raudlivatnet, however, we parked at the relatively large parking spot near Hatlelia. From there, we then first walked further along Gåssandvegen, crossing Nordelva north of Gåssand. At the other side of the bridge, we turned left and followed a track across Nauslia that >>>

Ankerhytten from Sandviken

Tourcharakter:
Wanderung
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
11,1km

We somehow decided to go a round near Bergen and thus took the bus to Sandviken. After first walking up to Fjellveien, we continued along it to get to Permisjonsstien. This brought us up to Sandviksbatteriet, where we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden. Next on the agenda was to get over to Munkebotn, cross over the stream that runs out of Munkebotsvatnet towards the north, and take the trail up to cabin Ravneberg. This trail is actually quite steep (but nice and straight-forward to hike up), offering some nice views along it. Continuing along the trail, we then passed by (closed) Sandvikshytten, before heading further upwards into the direction of Kvitebjørnen. Instead of hiking all the way to the top of Kvitebjørnen, however, we then followed a lower trail that was supposed to bring >>>
