Austdalsnuten

Sunday hike to Austdalsnuten organized by Voss Utferdslag . After catching a very early train from Bergen, I caught up with the other hikers at Voss shortly before 08:00 for the roughly 1.5-hour bus ride to Austdalsvatnet. When getting off the bus were at over 1000 meters above sea level and only 1.3 km from the summit, but given the terrain, including Austdalsvatnet blocking our way, we had to do a rather long detour before starting the real ascent from the south. On our way to the smaller lakes south of Austdalsnuten we partly followed a route used by the local farmers when transporting their sheep to their summer grazing areas. There were even small cairns showing the way but these were not always easy to spot and we thus made good use of our local guide. The clue seemed to be to be patient and ascend high enough before >>>

Gjetingsdalen to Årvik via Grønhaug and Storahorga

Entfernung:

Warning: The trail this hike seemingly follows down to Årvik does not exist! Instead there is a steep off-trail descent. Read the report carefully. Petter picked up me and Kjell in Ytre Sandviken shortly after seven on a Saturday morning for a joint drive to Tørvikbygd and the ferry to Jondal. From Jondal we drove the short distance south to Gjetingsdalen, paid the 60 kr toll fee and continued up to the small parking lot at the end of the gravel road. We started by following a trail to Norddalen and from there continued on a much weaker trail, although marked by orange paint, up towards Isdalsvatnet. The trail markers were overall easy to follow however the trail itself was very weak at best. Shortly after passing the small lake south of Isdalsvatnet we in any case had to abandon the markers as they turned southeast and presumably >>>

Fløysvingene and Skredderdalen

Sunday hike at Fløyen with the goal to identify a viewpoint we had come across in a picture included in the annual report from Bergens Skog- og Træplantningsselskap . After taking the bus to the city center I walked up to Fløyen via Fløysvingene where I met my parents. They had arrived via Fløibanen and together we continued to the lower part of "lysløypen" where it did not take long before we found the spot the picture had been taken. It provided an excellent view and could be reached in two ways, with the shorter option via a trail from the gravel road to the southeast being the easiest. We proceeded to descended via Skredderdalen to Mulen. Here I continued on my own to Munkebotn and then took the bus back to Lønborg.

For the second weekend in a row I took the train to Voss, but where I last Sunday continued on an almost empty bus towards Ulvik I today got on one out of a total of four buses packed with tourists heading to Gudvangen. That was not my plan though and I instead got off at the last stop before Stalheim. (Tip: ask the driver to let you off before the bus takes its detour to Stalheim, as apparently there is an extended stop there.) After getting off the bus I briefly walked south along the main road on a separate cycling and walking path, crossed the road and continued on the gravel road to Fyre where I located the marked trailhead next to the parking lot . A tractor road took me up to the start of the marked trail to Grindaflethytta . I however only stayed on this trail until Øvsthus, where I left the main trail and continued on a marked trail towards Stalheimsnipa . When getting to >>>

On a Sunday in mid-August where the warm summer weather made a comeback, I hopped on a train Voss and from there continued by bus to Ulsberg, where I for the second time had to help the bus driver locate the bus stop (see my hike to Kjerringafjellet and Kvasshovden ). After getting off the bus, I first followed the gravel road to Solsævatnet and then continued on the unmarked trail via Rubbelii to Nedre Skor. This was overall straightforward with the main challenge being to spot the trail between the numerous tall ferns doing their best to hide it. I think I made a wrong turn after crossing the stream west of Rubbelii though, descending to the lake instead of continuing upwards. I therefore shortly ended up on a much weaker trail before reconnecting with the main trail. (Note that there is also a trail going around the lake. So be sure >>>

Sunday hike in familiar terrain that I realized I had not visited in a long time. The weather ranged from warm sunshine to cold wind and rain. The latter probably explains why I only met one other hiker between Rundemanen Vest and Munkebotsvatnet. Lots of people up until that point though.

I started my journey by taking the bus to Norheimsund, the passenger ferry to Herand and finally a second bus via Jondal up to Folgefonna Skisenter . From the parking lot at the ski center I returned along the paved road down to Hestadalen p-plass . Here I continued on a trail marked with red T's towards Breidsete before shortly starting my off-trail ascent to Storafjellet . Or so I thought. Very quickly I however came across another trail marked with small cairns that led me all the way to the summit, hence it ought to be possible to stay on a trail all the way from the paved road. After a short break at the summit to take in the excellent views, I continued northwest to Grytingsfjellet . No trails or cairns marking the way here as far as I could tell. Lots of minor ups and downs and one or two steeper sections that had to be carefully navigated, but with one exception, >>>

Åsen i Samdalen

For my ascent of Åsen I took inspiration from one of Helwig 's three visits and made an attempt to replicate their steep ascent from the north . After getting off the bus at the last stop in Hausdalen, I walked the short distance along the gravel road for an easy crossing of the river, skipping the unstable bridge and instead using a couple of steeping stones to easily cross to the other side without getting my shoes wet. When approaching the steep ascent I noticed that it seemed to mainly consist of small and large rocks. This was fine at first but when the steepness increased, I started wondering about the stability and moved to the left. Here I came across a weak trail/animal track that avoided most of the rocks and actually resulted in a relatively easy ascent. The terrain soon became much less steep and I continued southwest until >>>

Started by taking the train to Voss and from there continued by bus to Ålvik. Here I easily located the marked trailhead and proceeded to follow the marked trail towards Roaldsdalen. The first part was quite steep and potentially difficult if wet or icy, although there were rope-based railings for extra safety. No need for these today though. As I continued north at the first forking of the trail at Krossfuru, the terrain turned much less steep and I could enjoy a nice walk along Dalselvi until the trail forked again and began winding its way up to Oskarborg and Toppen. The trail to Oskarborg was often rather weak, especially at this time of the year when partially hidden by the tall grasses, however, with a few exceptions, the red markers were easy to follow. For extra safety, given that the trail >>>
