Vardebu, Ulvehylet and Fjellsol

Datum:
08.01.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:06h
Entfernung:
6,7km

For the first time in a long while the sun was shining. I therefore left work a bit early and headed for Ulriken , this time not taking the stone steps but rather the trail along Langrinden. Slightly more tricky than expected due to several icy areas, but I made it to the upper station of the cable car without any real difficulties. There I put on the snow chains and continued to Vardebu for some very nice pictures in the setting sun. Quick visits of Ulvehylet and Fjellsol were also made before starting the descent. Decided to stay away from the icy stone steps and instead followed the old path for the first stretch, making it to the gravel road just as it was starting to get dark.

Helgheim and Grevbu via Hardbakkedalen

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:25h
Entfernung:
17,9km

Started from Årstadveien and walked along Svartediket before following Hardbakkedalen up to Langelivatnet. The dense fog made it more challenging to locate Helgheim than expected, but in the end we found a trail that took as all the way to the cabin. But on our way back we continued too far north/northwest, missing the exit to Grevbu , and ended up having to retrace out steps before finally taking a shortcut toward the cabin. In better weather this mistake would probably have been easily avoided. After a quick visit of Grevbu, we followed the marked trail down to Tarlebøvatnet. The hike was then concluded by passing over Rundemanen on the way home to Lønborg. Overall a nice hike that can be recommended, but probably much more enjoyable in better conditions.

Six cabins southeast of Gravdalsfjellet

2:13h
Entfernung:
6,6km

Took the bus to Fyllingsdalen and got off at the bus stop called Løvstakktunnelen (which is not inside the tunnel as the name would seem to indicate). Started by following hiking signs for Damsgårdsfjellet , soon arriving at the football field in Nordnæsdalen and the first cabins of the day: Nordnæshytten and Soldathytten . The marked trail then quickly took me to Laksevåghytten and onward to Sethaug where the trail started to get rather wet. After a quick visit to Sethaug, I followed the trail (now of better quality) west, reaching Våpensteinen before turning back and following the trail up Seljedalen for a visit to Brattheim . Finally, I passed by Viggohytten on my way up to the summit of Gravdalsfjellet , before following the ridge of Holefjellet down to Kringsjå and the bus back home to Lønborg. Overall a nice hike, mostly along ok trails, but on this day sadly with next to no views due to the dense fog.

Tindeborg and Nordmannshytten

Datum:
30.12.2018
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:32h
Entfernung:
15,8km

Started by taking the bus to Bradbenken and from there following various roads up to Skomakerdiket. From there I continued on the trail up Skomakerdalen and then for a while followed the trail towards Fjellhytten . Here the map indicated a shortcut heading east, but this turned out to be a rather old and wet trail. It was marked by several cairns, but overall these were easier to see than the trail itself. Clearly a better option to go via Fjellhytten. On my way to Rundemanen I made a quick detour to Tindeborg , before taking Malerskaret down toward Storediket, passing by Nordmannshytten on the way. But instead of going all the way to Storediket, I followed a trail northwest, which took me further north than expected, before finally reaching the gravel road south of Storevatnet.

Another short Christmas hike visiting local cabins, this time in the area east of Storevatnet. Rain and low-hanging clouds today, hence the views were rather limited.

Storenuten

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
10,4km

Started by taking the bus to Boge and following Bogavegen north until locating the start of the winding gravel road up to Bogavatnet. It was not too steep at the beginning, but soon the snow chains had to be put on. But of course only after first slipping and spraining my thumb... The gravel road flattened out a bit after the initial bends, but turned very steep after crossing the small bridge for the last stretch up to Bogavatnet. Much steeper than what comes across in the pictures. Clearly not recommended for driving. In any case, the entire gravel road is marked with "kjøring kun etter avtale". From Bogavatnet I followed the traces of a trail (hidden by the snow) towards Neverhaugen. Here the trail stopped. Or at least I could not see any signs of a trail in the direction of Storenuten .

Store Sundhaugen from Hausdalen

5:49h
Entfernung:
18,1km

Store Sundhaugen had been on my list of potential hiking targets for a while. However it is not exactly easily accessible when mainly depending on public transport. After considering my options, I concluded that the best route would be to start from Hausdalen. This would include a rather long hike before finally being able to start the ascent of Store Sundhaugen, but in good conditions it should make for a nice hike. The only remaining challenge was that there were no buses to Hausdalen in the weekends. Luckily I had a longer Christmas holiday this year and on the Thursday before Christmas, I was on the first bus to Hausdalen (bus stop called Hausdal snuplass). I even managed to convince a colleague to join, at least for part of the hike. The Hausdalen parking lot was completely empty this morning, and in fact we would not see any >>>
