Initially, I had other hiking plans this Saturday, but then Endre gave me an offer I simply could not refuse: a ride to Norddalen such that I could visit Skjerjavasshovden . He had already been to Skjerjavasshovden but was going to drive further up Norddalen and kayak across Skjerjavatnet to ascend Trollahorgi and Belaskarhorgi . I was picked up at my place around nine for the drive to Eksingedalen. A trip that turned out a bit longer than necessary as shortly after passing Evanger we realized that we were running low on gas. To be on the safe side we therefore turned back and made an extended detour to Voss to fill the tank. Rather annoying given the numerous gas stations we had passed on our way from Bergen... When finally arriving in Norddalen, Endre dropped me off next to Beinhellervatnet before he continued north to the parking lot at the northeastern end of Skjerjavatnet . I started my >>>

On the warmest September day in Bergen history (28.6 degrees), I took the last part of the day off for a cycling trip around Nordåsvatnet. The trip also included a minor detour to some small hills south of Indre Steinsvik ( Grønhaugen and Ospåsen). This turned out to be a very nice area with lots of narrow gravel paths (that one are not supposed to cycle on, something I only noticed when exiting the area). Not a lot of views from either of the two summits, which both had gravel paths all the way to the top, but there were wooden benches for a short rest.

To take full advantage the warm and sunny weather, I decided to combine a bike ride along Rallarvegen with a visit of Austre Låghellerhøgdene . I had rented a bike in advance which I picked up at Finse after arriving by train from Bergen. Shortly, I was on the bike and cycling northwest along the overall good quality gravel road. After passing the highest point at Rallarvegen (at 1343 meters) I descended towards Fagernut . Just before getting to the cabin, I left the bike behind for a short off-trail hike to the summit of Austre Låghellerhøgdene. The ascent was straightforward, however finding the exact summit was more tricky with three minor hills to choose from. As usual, I simply visited all of them, before descending along more or less the same route. Back on the bike, I made a short stop outside Fagernut before continuing on the gravel road to Hallingskeid. >>>

After the drive north from Bergen, Endre and I left the car at the parking lot at the end of the road up to Svartavatnet and started on the marked trail to Vardadalsbu . Upon connecting with the gravel road south of Skjerjevatnet we briefly followed the road southeast before ascending off-trail to the summit of Vest av Trollegilsbotnen . A bit of easy scrambling was required but we reached the summit without any real challenges. Finding the exact summit was more difficult, hence we simply visited all of the likely candidates. Before descending we also made a short detour south to look down into Modalen. After getting back to the gravel road west of Vest av Trollegilsbotnen we followed the road north until reconnecting with the marked trail to Vardadalsbu. Here we left the gravel road and continued on the trail. This would soon lead us across two metal bridges that enabled us to easily cross >>>

After first postponing the drive from Bergen by three hours in an attempt to avoid the worst rain showers and potential thunder storms, Endre finally picked me up shortly after 11:00 and together we headed for Masfjorden. The choice to wait turned out to be good one as the rain showers during our drive north were at times so intensive that the windscreen wipers struggled to clear the numerous large raindrops. When we arrived at the small parking lot next to the road east of Vardefjellet the rain had however almost stopped and the weather forecast promised almost two hours with little to no rain. We therefore quickly left the car and started our ascent. Largely, we followed in the footsteps of GeirL and his GPS-track from 2016 which started by following the marked trail to Bergsviksetra before later heading off-trail towards the summit via various deer tracks. >>>

A return to Åstveitskogen to explore some of the trails I did not check out during my last visit . This time I also completed the trip around Åstveitvatnet and included a short detour down to Åstveitvågen. Lots of slippery roots and muddy areas after the recent rain showers, but overall a very nice short hike.
