Skriki from Øvstedalen

Datum:
25.07.2017
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:25h
Entfernung:
9,9km

Started from the nice big parking lot in Øvstedalen . The trailhead was not marked, but was easily located by walking back to the previous bend in the road where there was a second much smaller parking lot, and from there following the trail. A sign soon appeared indicating that we were on the right track. From this point the trail was marked and easy to follow (with one important exception that we will come back to). The relatively steep trail passed by several small cabins at Kinn, before winding its way up towards Skriksvatnet. The trail passed by Skriksvatnet on the eastern side, but it was clear that this part of the trail was not as heavily used as the preceding parts, and shortly the trail more or less disappeared. We were now directly west of Skriki and considered taking the straight route to the summit, but decided that this >>>

We parked by the side of the road right before the bridge crossing Langholmsundet and from there followed the northern route to Skogsøytua . After a short stop enjoying the nice views at the summit, we followed the southern route back to the car.

Tourlänge:

Turøyvarden The hike stared from the bus stop at Knappen. From there we followed Toftøyvegen south and later Turøyvegen west, until reaching the trail to Turøyvarden . After only a couple of minutes along the trail we arrived at the impressively large cairn, for very nice views in all directions. Jurfedthaugen We then doubled back until finding the trail towards Jurfedthaugen , which we followed all the way to the summit. Also here the views were very nice, particularly towards the west. We then continued north along the trail until reaching Bølgekraftvegen, which we followed east to Toftøyvegen, before finally arriving back where we started.

Tveitavarden and Indregardsfjellet

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:30h
Entfernung:
7,3km

Tveitavarden Started by taking the bus to Isdal (bus stop called "Isdal øvre") and walking north along Lindåsvegen until locating the tractor road indicating the start of the trail. The tractor road itself was not marked, but after only a couple of meters a sign with Tveitavarden showed up. The tractor road quickly turned into a trail which could be easily followed all the way to the summit. It was however clear that the trail was not very heavily used and it did include several wet areas. From the summit there were good views towards the west, although an even better view could have been obtained if it was not for all the trees. Indregardsfjellet From Tveitavarden, I followed the same trail back to Lindåsvegen, which I then crossed and immediately arrived at start of the trail to Indregardsfjellet . Despite the >>>

Hausdalen to Espeland via Søre Gullfjelltoppen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:52h
Entfernung:
19,3km

Locating the trailhead Started by taking the bus to "Hausdalen snuplass" and continuing up the very nice gravel road through Brekkedalen, where I located a small cairn indicating the start of the unmarked trail towards Sydpolen and Søre Gullfjelltoppen . Sydpolen - 730 meter continuous ascent! The trail was easy to follow as it winded its way up between the pine trees. It quickly turned quite steep though, and when the trail left the trees behind, the trail could get a bit weak at times, but it was relatively easy to relocate when lost. Note that the height difference from the trailhead to the cairn at the top, known as Sydpolen, is around 730 meters, with limited rest along the way with regards to the terrain. Sydpolen provided spectacular views in all direction. Definitely worth the long climb! Especially nice >>>

Hjartåsfjellet (the extended version...)

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:42h
Entfernung:
15,8km

The trail head Started by taking the bus to Hjartås (bus stop "Frank Mohn Hjertås") and walking up to the car park on the east side of the factory building. The trail started at the northern end of the parking lot, with the first part being a gravel road. When the gravel road ended I located the start of the trail without much difficulty. The trail did include some wet areas, but various strategically placed wooden objects made sure that one could easily make progress without getting wet. Ramusfjellet I then followed the marked trail north until reaching an intersection at the western base of Ramusfjellet . Here I initially started right (east), but while there was a trail, I quickly figured out that it would not take me up to Ramusfjellet. I therefore turned back and tried left (west) instead, >>>

Solbakkefjellet from Kalandseidet

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
4:18h
Entfernung:
12,8km

The plan for the day was to take the bus to Hausdal and hike up to Søre Gullfjelltoppen , but it soon became clear that the corresponding bus from Kalandseidet was not showing up or had already left. As an alternative we decided on Solbakkefjellet . We followed one of the marked trails to the summit, and then doubled back to end up at Kaland for the bus back to the city center. For a longer version of the same hike see Solbakkefjellet from Kalandseidet .

Døsjeskiftet to Liaskjeret

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
4:46h
Entfernung:
15,2km

Døsjeskiftet to Liatårnet Started by taking the bus to Døsjeskiftet and following the paved road up towards Bildøyvatnet. From there I followed the standard trail south until reaching the road that goes up to Pyttane (with minor detours for quick visits to Skinntikavarden and Skitnafenet ), which I then followed to the top of Pyttane before continuing along the trail to Liatårnet . This is where the real hike started, as I was now finally heading into, for me, new territory. Høgafjellet..? From the top of Liatårnet I followed the trail south, but where the trail started to turn west I instead continued south towards Høgafjellet . To my surprise, I found a trail in this direction as well, which I decided to follow. However, the trail was passing west of Høgafjellet, i.e. not across the summit, but it was straightforward to ascend from the south.

Signalen and Gardafjellet

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:35h
Entfernung:
10,5km

Signalen Started by taking the bus to Møvik (bus stop called Halsvarden) and walking up Signalvegen to Signalsvatnet, along a paved road and then a gravel road. Upon reaching the small lake, I continued on the west side of the lake, using the stairs at the end of the dam to start the ascent to the western summit at Signalen . There was a trail, but it was not always easy to follow, and sometimes there were also multiple trails in the same general direction. Reaching the cairn was still straightforward though, and the views were excellent, especially towards the west. Next, I continued east, along slightly easier to follow trails, towards the highest point at Signalen , which also had its own cairn. Spectacular views in all directions here as well, especially in the very nice weather I was lucky enough to have on this particular visit. From the >>>
