Short walk along Barsnesfjorden after the drive from Bergen. (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed.

Vardafjellet from Svortland

Datum:
21.07.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
0:55h
Entfernung:
2,9km

After the visits of Siggjo and Furufjellet , I cycled to Svortland where I easily located the gravel road referred to as "Lysløypa til Fet", which I then proceeded to follow, still on the bike, to the marked trailhead for Vardafjellet . Here I left the bike and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was easy to follow, with small wooden bridges across the wet areas and signs showing the way. I therefore quickly arrived at the summit, which provided excellent panoramic views, especially for such a modest peak of only 164 meters above sea level. From the summit I returned along the same route for the bike ride back to Rubbestadneset and the boat home to Bergen.

Furefjellet from Åreiddalen/Finnåsvatnet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
0:41h
Entfernung:
2,0km

After descending from Siggjo (see separate trip report here ), I cycled about 300 meters north to the unmarked trailhead for Furefjellet . Here I again left the bike behind and continued on foot along a rough tractor road, i.e. bringing the bike was clearly not an option. After twice crossing an electric fence set up to keep the cows from wandering off, I easily located the marked trail for Furefjellet where it departed from the tractor road. The trail was marked with the now familiar wooden sticks tipped with red paint and also the pink ribbons. In fact, the markers had been there all the way from when the first crossing of the electric fence. While the low vegetation was partially hiding the trail at times, it was overall easy to follow and made it straightforward to reach the summit. The summit itself was not marked, although I did discover >>>

Siggjo from Åreiddalen/Finnåsvatnet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:15h
Entfernung:
5,8km

After cycling from Rubbestadneset to the unmarked trailhead for Siggjo in the valley between Siggjo and Furefjellet , I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot following a trail marked with wooden sticks tipped with red paint. (At the start the trail was also marked with pink ribbons, but these soon departed from the main trail, and the one indicated on the map, and I continued following the wooden sticks.) The trail was easy to follow as it winded its way up to the summit, which was therefore reached without any difficulties. Especially the last part was very nice, i.e. when getting above the tree line with the views greatly improving. As expected, the panoramic view from the summit was spectacular with unobstructed views in all directions. After a short break, and lots of pictures, I descended along the same route.

Cycling: Siggjo, Furefjellet and Vardafjell

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour Straße
Tourlänge:
7:18h
Entfernung:
42,5km

I started by cycling to Strandkaiterminalen, from where I took the high-speed ferry to Rubbestadneset. Here I started the GPS tracking and headed south along the roads to the trailhead for Siggjo , generally on either separate cycling/walking paths or on roads with limited traffic. It should however be mentioned that while the area was overall well-suited for cycling, the signs for cyclists leave a lot to be desired, as basically there were none. I therefore struggled a bit when getting to the highway south of Rubbestadneset and trying to figure out how where the cycling path continued. After reaching the valley between Siggjo and Furefjellet called Åreiddalen, I easily located the unmarked trailhead for Siggjo and continued from there on foot. See the separate trip report here . Upon returning to my bike, I cycled >>>

Båtevassfjellet from Einestranda

Datum:
19.07.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:55h
Entfernung:
14,5km

I started by taking the bus (or rather buses, four in total) to Einestranda. Here I managed to get off one stop too early. I think I can be excused by the fact that this particular stop, while having its own bus stop sign, does not appear in the list of bus stops at skyss.no. In any case, it was only a short 250 meters walk to the correct stop. Next, the unmarked trailhead for Båtevassfjellet was easily located just before crossing the river at Einestranda. The trail itself however was marked, and the first trail marker could be spotted from the trailhead. After a short detour following some trail markers on the north/west side of the river, I retraced my steps and crossed the river via a concrete bridge, and quickly picked up the trail markers on the other side. From there on the trail was overall easy to >>>

Cycling: Myrdalsvatnet and Preståsen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Fahrradtour gemischt
Tourlänge:
3:10h
Entfernung:
43,4km

When the rain showers finally stopped, or so I thought, I cycled towards Myrdalsvatnet for a visit of Preståsen . It however started raining again as I was approaching Nesttun, but thankfully it was only light rain and soon stopped completely. The summit of Preståsen was easily reached on foot via an unmarked trail starting from the gravel road northeast of Myrdalsvatnet. Next to no views from the summit nor the trail though. I even briefly followed the trail south beyond the summit to check if there were any better views there, but this was not the case as far as I could tell. I therefore returned to my bike at the gravel road and followed it north before returning south to Myrdalsvatnet and the ride home.
