Tofjellet from Straume

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:49h
Entfernung:
16,2km

After a detailed study of the weather forecast combined with a search for possible peaks that could be visited in between the seemingly constant string of rain storms, I settled on Tofjellet and took the early morning train to Dale and the connecting bus to Straume. Armed with arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) 's external trip report I started up the tractor road to Nesatræet . Here I decided to try the trail passing by two of the remaining buildings and from there closely following the river on the way to Straumsstølen . The trail was overall easy to follow, but relatively wet at times. The trail soon merged with the tractor road and within not too long I arrived at Straumsstølen. Or rather, almost at Straumsstølen. There was the small matter of crossing the river. At first I thought I would have to wade across, as the bridge seemed to be missing. However, I thankfully looked >>>

Nedstaheia, Haukheia and Storenuvarden

Entfernung:
9,0km

Ever since my abandoned attempt at ascending Nedstaheia a couple of months earlier, I had been thinking about having another go. This time I did not come by bike though, rather by bus, and the hike therefore started from Arna terminal, from where I followed the river south towards the unmarked trailhead south of Nedstaheia . I thus easily returned to where the map indicates a trail heading towards Nedstaheia, and where my last attempt was abandoned. As expected, the trail was not easier to see today either, but I am pretty sure there must have been a trail here at some point, perhaps it is just not being used anymore. There were however some weak traces that could be followed and overall it was in the end straightforward to reach the summit, which provided good views in all directions. From the summit, I continued north, partly following a weak >>>

Vesoldo and Slåttenuten - from Tørvik to Norheimsund

Datum:
25.09.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:31h
Entfernung:
22,4km

I started by taking the bus to Tørvik and getting off at the bus stop called "Heradstveit kryss". At the initial crossroads there were hiking signs pointing in both directions. I went for the southern option, passing through Tørvik and Tveiten, before following a toll road to the parking lot at Perslå . I briefly considered heading southwest to Tveitestølen to ascend Tørvikenuten from the south. But while there was a trail indicated on the map, the hiking information sign at Perslå did not mention this option at all. Not wanting to risk spending most of the ascent searching for a potentially weak trail, I instead went for the safe option and followed the marked trail via Osadal. The tractor road continued all the way to Finnhellersvatnet, though it looked more like a trail than a road towards the end. From >>>

Vedasnerta and Nessteinen from Nes/Mundheimsvegen

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:17h
Entfernung:
18,9km

Since my trip to Vågenipen and Lukefjellet two weeks earlier , I had wanted to get a closer look at Vedasnerta and Nessteinen on the opposite side of Mundheimsdalen, as they both looked quite dramatic from a distance. When researching how to best visit both summits, I came across a route description at ut.no that looked very promising as it indicated a marked trail all the way to the summit of Nessteinen: https://ut.no/turforslag/119653/nessteinen . The suggestion did not mention Vedasnerta at all, but I assumed that the short off-trail ascent from Vatnadalsvatnet (in the valley between Nessteinen and Vedasnerta) would not be too difficult. I started by taking the bus from Bergen to Mundheim. Here I switched to a connecting bus heading for Norheimsund, which I only stayed on for two stops before getting off at the bus stop called Teigland right next to the start of the tractor road indicated on the route at >>>

Heinakken and Kjerringefjellet

7,4km

After our failure at obtaining any views at all from Matrenipa , me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) did not give up, got back in the car, and drove to the valley in between Heinakken and Kjerringefjellet . Here we found parking on the side of the road, right next to the marked trailhead for Heinakken, and proceeded to follow the marked trail (quite wet at times, but otherwise easy to follow) all the way to the large cairn south of the summit, were we finally escaped the fog and were rewarded by excellent panoramic views across Masfjorden. From the large cairn we shortly retraced out steps before making the final ascent to the summit of Heinakken from the southeast. No trails to the summit, but reaching it did not provide any difficulties. Great views from the summit as well, but if visiting Heinakken it is clearly recommended to also make the short detour >>>

On the drive home to Bergen from our day of wet hikes with no views in Masfjorden (see Kyrkjehovda , Vardegga from Fossåskaret , Snaueggi - an unplanned roundtrip and Ølveshovda ) me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) could not help but note the excellent weather forecasts for the next day, i.e. warm and sunny, and thus agreed to have another joint hike, with the hope that maybe we could actually see something from one of the summits this time around. We decided on three summits in Masfjorden and met up the next day for the drive to Matre and the parking lot west of Matrenipa . On the drive there we however could not help but notice that, except for it not raining, the weather looked very similar to the day before with the now familiar fog hiding most of the mountain tops. Hopefully that today it would at least partly clear up we started on the marked trail to Matrenipa. The trail was very wet but overall easy to follow and we >>>

Ølveshovda

1:05h
Entfernung:
4,0km

After visiting Kyrkjehovda , Vardegga and Snaueggi in pouring rain and with little to no views due to a particularly thick fog, both me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) felt a drop in motivation. However, given that we were now very close to Ølveshovda we decided to make one last push and also visit it before returning to Bergen. We parked next to Ølve Kyrkje and continued on foot along a gravel road to the marked trailhead. We could now for the first time look across Kvinnheradsfjorden and spot both Snilstveitsøy and several of the higher mountains behind it. Maybe we could finally get some views from one of the visited summits? However, we soon ascended into the thick fog, and it became clear that there would be no views this time either. While the information sign at the start of the hike had encouraged us to take it slow and enjoy the views, we did not >>>

Snauegga - an unplanned roundtrip

Entfernung:
4,5km

After visiting Kyrkjehovda and Vardegga , me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) drove south to Berge where we easily located the marked trailhead for Snauegga (the sign says Eggjane). However, the suggested route was blocked with a herd of what was either very large calves or bulls. This left us rather skeptical with regards to passing right by them, especially as they all seemed rather interested in us. We therefore decided to make a short detour hoping the large animals would stay where they were and not follow us. And besides having to cross two barbed wire fences (of which the first was partly hidden and close to the ground), our plan was a success and we were shortly back on track. This would not last for long though, as we soon realized that we had made a wrong turn when the tractor road forked early on. We were now in the valley east of the >>>
