Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
29,1km

Not the best weather for hiking so far for this last week of my late summer holiday. So when the Wednesday forecast was finally showing better conditions, I got up early in the morning and took the first boat from Strandkaiterminalen in Bergen to Bekkjarvik. The first part of the hike consisted of walking along the road to the start of the trail towards Veten north of Ugleneset. No sidewalks except for at the very beginning, but thankfully the amount of traffic was limited. The trailhead was unmarked as far as I could tell, but easy to locate. I followed the initial tractor road through a couple of gates and when the road came to an end continued on a wet trail. The trail soon connected with a larger muddy trail, which I then followed west to the summit of Veten, providing excellent views in all >>>

Kjeringafjell from Kleppa

Datum:
15.08.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:25h
Entfernung:
19,0km

I started from the parking lot at Kleppa and from there tried to follow the signs to Kjeringafjell (or rather Kjeringi as used on the signs). The first sign indicated that it was only 6.2 km to the summit, which I found odd, given that earlier PB reports showed distances closer to 10 km. However, most, if not all, of these were from skiing trips, so perhaps the summer route was shorter. The signs did not always include Kjeringi though, resulting in multiple checks of the GPS to make sure that I was choosing the correct option when the trail split. This became much easier when getting above the tree line, but then the signs were not really needed anymore anyway. After leaving the gravel road, there were also a couple of wet sections, but most could easily be avoided by following the trail next to the tractor road instead of the >>>

Barsnesfjorden

Wanderung
Tourlänge:
0:48h
Entfernung:
4,5km

Yet another short walk along Barsnesfjorden. Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

Short hike across Flot . This time also including a visit to Flotshaugen . This minor summit is easy to access, but the very limited views means that most hikers will probably be happy skipping it and sticking with only the visitor register .

Skjerdingane Øst from Laugadalen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:39h
Entfernung:
18,3km

Given that our attempt to reach Skjerdingane Øst earlier in the week had to be abandoned due to bad weather , we simply had to give it another go as soon as the conditions improved. We followed the same trail up Laugadalen as last time, and also a pretty similar route from Laugavatnet to Styggebotngrovi, i.e. first along the weak trail from Laugavatnet and then finding our own way next to the stream. As mentioned in the previous report, our plan was to follow in the footsteps of arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) (see his trip report here ), which of course today was made easier by the fact that we now knew where to locate the start of the trail in Styggebotngrovi. To summarize, the trick is to head to the bottom of Styggebotngrovi and start heading up on the eastern (i.e. right-hand) side of the gorge. A weak trail should then shortly appear. At this time of the year the trail was lined >>>
