Lønahorgi from Hangurstoppen

Datum:
08.08.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:10h
Entfernung:
21,9km

A visit of Lønahorgi had been on my agenda for a while. So I decided to make the most out of my last day of summer vacation and hopped on an early morning train to Voss. Here I decided on "cheating" by taking the cable car (see Voss Gondol ) to the top of Hangur , and thus for once started a hike with descending from the first minor peak of the hike. In fact, this was so unusual that I almost missed the sign for the trail to Lønahorgi, as it does a minor detour via Valbergstjørni and eastern side of Slettafjellet . The advantage compared to the more direct route via Trodalstølen is that one pretty much stays at the same altitude. The trail was marked with red T's and easy to follow, and I quickly connected with the tractor road coming up from Trodalstølen. From here on the trail partly followed the road and partly made >>>

Storevasseggene and Blådalsnipa from Nordkvingo

Datum:
05.08.2021
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:40h
Entfernung:
14,7km

I started by taking the bus (or rather buses, four in total) to arrive at Nordkvingo where I got off at the stop called Sønsthaugen. Here I easily located the marked trailhead for Kalvedalshytta , which I then proceeded to follow. At first the trail was relatively steep, helped by various stone steps and metal railing, but it soon levelled off and it did not take too long before it started descending towards Gjelet where it connected with the new trail coming up from Nordkvingo p-plass . The trail was marked with red T's and was overall easy to follow. After briefly passing by Blådalsvatnet, the trail shortly descended to south of Setertjørna where I got the first views of both Storevasseggene and Blådalsnipa , plus a nice overview of Nordkvingesetret , before the trail again started ascending into the valley in between Storevasseggene and Klefjellnipa . Just before the marked trail >>>

Rødsaksla

4,3km

Afternoon hike with the goal of visiting Rødsaksla , a minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by taking the bus to Rød, where I for some reason thought that I ought to get off at the bus stop referred to as "Rød nord, Bergen", while the correct one would have been "Rød sør, Bergen" which is located right next to the trailhead. But after a short 500 meters walk along the road I arrived at the unmarked trailhead discovered by knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) and Astrid (Astrid S. Andersen) on their hike to Rødsaksla a couple of months earlier . This resulted in it being straightforward to get pretty close to the summit, even though the trail turned rather weak towards the end. (Note that as the GPS track indicates, I also made a short attempt at a more direct shortcut by following an alternative trail early on. But decided to return to the main trail when the alternative trail ended in a wet >>>

Fannaråken from Turtagrø

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
7:49h
Entfernung:
19,2km

We drove from Sogndal to Turtagrø and parked at the opposite side of the road from Turtagrø Hotell . Lots of other hikers at Turtagrø, but as soon as we started on the trail towards Helgedalen, the number of people rapidly decreased and we soon found ourselves all on our own. (In fact, we would meet less than 50 people for the entire hike.) We shortly connected with the gravel road in Helgedalen, which we then proceeded to follow until reaching the marked trail for Fannaråken below Ekrehytta. After this easy start of just over 200 vertical meters spread out over a bit less than 5 km, the real hike started with another 900 meters left to climb over less than half the distance. The trail was clearly marked and overall easy to follow, and there were only a couple of short sections early on where hikers with a severe fear of heights might struggle. We actually >>>

Bjedlastølen from Åsen to Bjella

Short hike from Åsen p-plass to Bjella via Bjedlastølen with the main objective of looking for blueberries and cloudberries. In the end, the former was much more successful than the latter. Marked and easy to follow trails.

Austerdalsbreen from Tungestølen

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:49h
Entfernung:
11,7km

The initial plan of cycling along Veitastrondsvatnet was at the last minute replaced by instead driving to Tungestølen which meant that the trip could more easily be extended with a hike up to Austerdalsbreen . Note that the road to Veitastrond from Hafslo passes through several tunnels, varying in standard from relatively new to old and narrow without any lighting. When cycling it is however possible to avoid all but a very short one by using the cycling paths, i.e. the old road. After enjoying the nice views along Veitastrondsvatnet, and paying the 70 kr toll at Høgebru bom (after finally managing to get a decent 4G connection allowing us to pay via VIPPS), we arrived at the parking lot next to Tungestølen . From here we continued on foot along the trail to Austerdalsbreen . The trail was easy to follow, with wooden bridges when needed, and we soon arrived at the Slingsby-monumentet . Sadly >>>

Børesteinen from Berge

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:13h
Entfernung:
5,1km

Based on a tip from my sister, we drove from Sogndal to Luster for a hike up to Børesteinen . A location that promised spectacular views. Upon arriving at Luster, we continued up the narrow and steep private gravel road to Berge, something we would not have done had we not known about the small private parking lot up there with room for maybe 4-5 cars. Here we happily paid the 50 kr parking fee via VIPPS and started on the marked trail to Børesteinen. Note that if you do not feel like taking a chance on the private road up to Berge, there is also parking down by the main road with a marked trail up to Berge. But this of course adds another 370 vertical meters to the hike. The trail from Berge was steep but of good quality and easy to follow. There were also several less steep sections, most notably when the trail made a detour >>>

Vardafjellet from Svortland

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
0:55h
Entfernung:
2,9km

After the visits of Siggjo and Furufjellet , I cycled to Svortland where I easily located the gravel road referred to as "Lysløypa til Fet", which I then proceeded to follow, still on the bike, to the marked trailhead for Vardafjellet . Here I left the bike and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was easy to follow, with small wooden bridges across the wet areas and signs showing the way. I therefore quickly arrived at the summit, which provided excellent panoramic views, especially for such a modest peak of only 164 meters above sea level. From the summit I returned along the same route for the bike ride back to Rubbestadneset and the boat home to Bergen.

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
0:41h
Entfernung:
2,0km

After descending from Siggjo (see separate trip report here ), I cycled about 300 meters north to the unmarked trailhead for Furefjellet . Here I again left the bike behind and continued on foot along a rough tractor road, i.e. bringing the bike was clearly not an option. After twice crossing an electric fence set up to keep the cows from wandering off, I easily located the marked trail for Furefjellet where it departed from the tractor road. The trail was marked with the now familiar wooden sticks tipped with red paint and also the pink ribbons. In fact, the markers had been there all the way from when the first crossing of the electric fence. While the low vegetation was partially hiding the trail at times, it was overall easy to follow and made it straightforward to reach the summit. The summit itself was not marked, although I did discover >>>

Tourlänge:
2:15h
Entfernung:
5,8km

After cycling from Rubbestadneset to the unmarked trailhead for Siggjo in the valley between Siggjo and Furefjellet , I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot following a trail marked with wooden sticks tipped with red paint. (At the start the trail was also marked with pink ribbons, but these soon departed from the main trail, and the one indicated on the map, and I continued following the wooden sticks.) The trail was easy to follow as it winded its way up to the summit, which was therefore reached without any difficulties. Especially the last part was very nice, i.e. when getting above the tree line with the views greatly improving. As expected, the panoramic view from the summit was spectacular with unobstructed views in all directions. After a short break, and lots of pictures, I descended along the same route.
