Cabin ruins: Landåsfjellet

Another search for old cabins mentioned in Bergensernes Fjellverden II, this time focusing on Landåsfjellet. Yet again I had studied aerial photos and thus knew where most of the cabins were located, or at least had an idea of where they ought to be. But for some there were no traces in the aerial photos at all, neither from 1951 nor 2016, most notably Landåshytten and Fjellro. These have therefore not yet been added as PB-elements. The location of Fjellro is well-defined though: pretty much on the trail on the west side of Nubbevatnet. I guess once again I have to go back armed with an old black and white photo of the cabin like I did for Fjeldglimt (ruin) . This could also be an option for Landåshytten, but here the actual location is more uncertain. One cabin that does show up on the aerial photos from 1951 >>>

Urheim

Entfernung:

An evening hike with the goal of visiting the ruins of Urheim . Again I had been studying aerial photos to locate the cabin, but this time the newer better resolution photos from 2016 were used, as the cabin was a ruin even on the oldest photos from 1951 and thus hardly visible. The ruins were therefore easily located, although the terrain from the trail to the ruins was more cumbersome than expected due to lots of low bushes and unstable footing. I think it is safe to say that the location of the cabin very much fits its name. And for once it was straightforward to verify that I was at the correct ruins, as the name of the cabin was chiseled into one of the larger rocks next to the door opening. If only more of these old ruins could be marked this way it would make the job of locating them much easier.

Cabin ruins: Ulriken, Vidden and Langelien

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
7:29h
Entfernung:
24,4km

Another hike with the main goal of locating old cabin ruins, this time focusing on Ulriken, Vidden and Langelien. Plus a revisit of Fjeldglimt , or rather a first visit I should say, given that my previous visit had not been to the correct ruins . Having learnt my lesson the hard way, I was therefore well prepared and armed with the GPS position of each ruin gathered via close inspection of historical aerial photos via 1881.no. Here's an example showing Sangerhytten, Padden and Framheim in 1951 . And here's Sangerhytten when it was still standing: Sangerhytten between 1900 and 1910 . All of the ruins were therefore easy to locate, with the exception of Fjeldglimt which was long gone even in 1951 and could only found by comparing against the old black and white photo available in Bergensernes Fjellverden II. Note that most of these areas are hardly visited anymore, hence there was a lot of off-trail hiking. However, the only section requiring >>>

6:29h
Entfernung:

Yet another hike with the goal of searching for old cabins. This time starting from Torget and covering Søre Midtfjellet , Ranen and the area around Øvre Jordalsvatnet. Most of the cabins where easy to locate, the exception being Kveldsol where there were only limited traces left. New PB-elements added: Fredheim , Kveldsol , Brannmannshytten , Fjellstuen , Redningshytten , Fram and Høgelien . Plus Granbakketårnet and Bergensbakken . For an excellent picture from when all of the cabins from Heimtun to Fjellhytten were still standing, check out From Fløyen 1918-04-20 . Do remember to zoom! Here is one with only Heimtun, Fredheim and Kveldsol: From Fløyfjellet between 1925 and 1927 . And finally, here is one showing Granbakken: From Midtfjellet toward Skomakerdiket between 1950 and 1959 , and one showing Bergensbakken: Bergensbakken between 1920 and 1939 with Redningshytten in the lower right-hand corner.
