Vardafjellet and Dalstuva

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:44h
Entfernung:
9,4km

After leaving my bike behind at the trailhead for the roundtrip of Frøkjedalsvatnet, I followed the marked trail north along the lake before heading off-trail for the final 500 meters to the summit of Vardafjellet . The terrain was overall easy to traverse, but there were also areas with lots of moss-covered rocks with small gaps between them such that one had to tread carefully. Closer to the summit the terrain turned steeper and there were more trees and bushes to navigate around, but overall the summit was reached without any real issues. Two large old cairns at the Vardafjellet summit, however the actual summit is most likely the area around the tree just behind the largest cairn. The views from the summit where somewhat obscured by trees, but just a couple of meters to the south there were excellent views towards the south. From the summit >>>

Snilstveitøy: Veten and Eidsvikåsen

Last fall I figured out that it ought to be possible to use the high-speed passenger ferry from Bergen to Rosendal to visit both summits at Snilstveitøy in one hike. This however depended on the ferry's summer timetable and I did not manage try before it was too late. Half a year later it was now finally time to test if the plan could be executed successfully. I started by taking the ferry from Bergen to Snilstveitøy, although I almost ended up at Rosendal as the crew had forgotten that I was supposed to get off at Snilstveitøy (as the only passenger doing so). Thankfully I was able to inform them in time and a quick U-turn took care of the problem. At Snilstveitøy, I followed the gravel road west and soon came across the first sign for Veten . 200 meters later I arrived at the marked trailhead. >>>

Storås and Klauv from Våge

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
5:10h
Entfernung:
22,1km

I have to admit that peak bagging via public transportation has its added challenges, especially when the distance to the trailhead from the nearest bus stop is almost 9.5 km. But in the case of Storås in Sveio , that distance could thankfully be easily covered by following a side road with limited traffic. The trip started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Sveio and getting off at the stop with the interesting name "Søre Våge sør". I immediately left the main road heading south to Haugesund, and instead turned east on a smaller single-lane road. Soon I even left Sveio, entering Haugesund and Rogaland, and would not reenter Sveio until almost an hour later. On my way I also passed by the trailhead for the highest summit in Haugesund called Klauv , which I planned to ascend on my way back (if time permitted).

Gråfjellet from Lussand

Entfernung:
9,3km

After spending two days at a conference at Voss, most of my colleagues returned to Bergen shortly after the late lunch. I however decided to take advantage of the excellent weather and instead return to Bergen via a detour including an ascent of Gråfjellet in Granvin . When talking about my plans during the breaks at the conference I had managed to spike the interest of one of my colleagues, and after changing into our hiking gear we hopped on the bus to Lussand and were ready to start our hike shortly after 15:00. We started by walking southeast along the old main road south of Bjørgatunnelen before following the winding Fossdalsvegen, a steep private gravel road, up to the river coming down from Veslevatnet. Here we left the road behind, which towards the end had been covered by snow, and continued off-trail towards >>>

Åsheimveten from Åsheim

Entfernung:
3,5km

After our visit of Kossdalssvingane we decided to add a short bonus hike to Åsheimveten before returning to Bergen. We first drove the short distance from Hosanger Montessoriskule up to Åsheimveten p-plass , thus gaining around 200 meters vertical elevation for free. After paying the 20 kr parking fee via Vipps, we followed a very nice trail all the way to the summit, which, as for my previous visit back in 2018 , provided excellent panoramic views. From the summit we returned along the same route back to the car, and thus concluded a great day of hiking at Osterøy!

With the excellent weather, I ventured slightly further today, including a visit of Ørneberget . Still low on energy, but at least I was not getting worse.

Entfernung:

I started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Sveio and got off at Hanaleitet. This put me directly north of my first goal, namely Lierfjellet . After a short walk up the gravel road of Hanalio, I arrived at the trailhead for Lierfjellet. The trailhead itself was unmarked, i.e. no sign, but there were plenty of red painted markers to follow. Lots of wet and muddy sections early on, however this soon improved. (By following this marked trail, one also avoids the borderline trespassing via the two houses at the end of Hanalio that some other hikers seem to have used.) The red markers were not always the easiest to spot, although this was at least partly due to walking towards the low sun. There were also the occasional patches of ice that had to be navigated, but overall the summit was reached without >>>
