Grøntua and Festeråsen

Datum:
19.11.2016
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:39h
Entfernung:
7,5km

Took the bus to Loddefjord Terminal and walked up towards Kjøkkelvikveien and onto Olsvikskjenet before locating a trail I assumed was heading to the top of Grøntua . After only a couple of minutes I was at the summit. I then continued towards Festeråsen , passing by Olsvik Kirke and crossing Olsvikskjenet, before following the road to Festeråsen. From the summit of Festeråsen I made a U-turn and followed Olsvikskjenet until I reconnected with the trail to Grøntua. Note that a major part of this section consisted of walking along the main road with no sidewalk. (Pretty sure there are better alternatives though, such as the smaller roads in between the apartment buildings, but these options were not very clear to someone unfamiliar with the area.) I then followed the same route back to Loddefjord Terminal for >>>

Svartaberget

Datum:
16.11.2016
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:37h
Entfernung:
6,1km

Started by taking the bus to Lyngbø and walking up Nipedalen to Tennebekktjørna, and onwards to Svartatjørna where I tried to locate a trail to Svartaberget . The trick was to follow a trail heading upwards in the northwesterly direction from Svartatjørna and when this flattened out follow a trail heading south. I followed this trail towards the summit, but at one point the trail started descending. I then took a hard right (i.e. west) until reconnecting with what was likely a missed exit of the previous trail, which I could then easily follow all the way to the summit of Svartaberget. Given the bad weather and the low-hanging clouds, the views from the summit were limited, but are probably much better with nicer conditions. From the summit I followed a steep, and on this day very slippery, trail down >>>

Storhaugen, Repparåsen and Skåldalsfjellet

Datum:
06.11.2016
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:10h
Entfernung:
14,7km

We started from the parking lot in Stølsvegen in Arna and from there followed the marked trail to Reppadalen. Here we turned north and started our accent to Repparåsen . The snow started getting deeper, at times up to half a meter to a meter deep, making the progress significantly slower than expected. We therefore rejected our original plan of going via Herlandsfjellet and instead headed directly towards the summit of Skåldalsfjellet . From Skåldalsfjellet the plan was to head to Skåldalsnipa before descending to Raudtjørn. But as it was now getting fairly dark, we instead decided to go to the unnamed 685m hill northeast of Skåldalsnipa (later named Sælinga ) and from there follow the ridge back down to Reppadalen. This turned out to be a good decision, given that we had to rely on flashlights to properly see the road for the last kilometers back to the car. All in all in excellent >>>

Skagen and Veten from Vikaleitet

Datum:
29.10.2016
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:43h
Entfernung:
12,7km

Started by taking the bus to Vikaleitet and walking up Sæterstølsvegen (note that the GPS tracking was not turned on until 10-15 min into the hike). From Sæterstøl I easily located the trail towards Veten and followed it until I found a smaller trail in the direction of Skagen . Even though it is not a very high peak, it did provide some nice views. From Skagen I continued onwards to Veten and after a short break at the top, I decided to go via Storsåta (a smaller peak to the west of Veten). I did not locate a trail to the summit of Storsåta, but it was not too difficult to reach. However, it was not really worth it as the views were pretty poor. It got a bit better when walking 50 meters or so northeast through the trees at the summit, but still not a summit I can really recommend. I returned to the trail >>>

Ranen

Datum:
23.10.2016

We started from Svartediket and from there walked up Våkendalen to Tarlebøvatnet. Here we decided to take a short detour to Ranen , a summit that looks most prominent when viewed from Jordalen or Eidsvåg. As far as we could see there were no trails to the summit, but it could still be easily reached, and provided nice views into Jordalen. From the summit we returned to the main trail and crossed over Rundemanen on our way to the city center.

Borga from Hardbakkedalen

Datum:
16.10.2016
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour

Started from Svartediket and from there hiked up Hardbakkedalen to get to Borgaskaret. There I followed the trail towards Grønetua , but before reaching Grønetua I turned east on a trail towards Borga . But as far as I could tell, the trail did not head to the summit of Borga, so after a while I decided to rather try the quickest route to the top, entering the Borga plateau at the northwest corner. From there I could easily follow an unmarked trail to the summit. From the summit I followed more or less the same route back to Grønteua and from there passed by Vikinghytten , before crossing Rundemanen on the way to the city center.

Knappenfjellet to Nipedalen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour

Started by taking the bus to Straume Bro and from there walking towards Hesthaugen for the real start of the hike. I followed the trail across Knappenfjellet and continued down to Gjeddevatnet and onwards along the main road to the end of Bjørndalsvatnet, where I found a trail taking me through the forest via Svartatjørna and Tennebekktjørna to Nipedalen, and finally down to Lyngbø for the bus back to the city center. See this hike for a GPS track of the same route.

Started from Svartediket and walked to the start of Isdalen. I then climbed up Isdalen to Hauggjelsvarden and from there followed the standard trail across Vidden, with a minor detour to the top of Storhaugen . (For a GPS track of the trail up Isdalen, see this hike: Isdalen .)
