Heihillerhornet, Kjerringafjell and Ottanosi from Holdhus

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:54h
Entfernung:
22,2km

Started by taking the bus to Holdhus and from there following the roads to Solvang. Here I left the road and instead followed an unmarked trail shortcut up towards Heihiller. After reconnecting with the road it was not long before I came across a marked trailhead for both Heihillerhornet and Kjerringafjell . The trail started by heading in the wrong direction though, and descending(!), but I assumed it has its reasons and sure within a couple of hundred meters it started ascending in a more reasonable direction. Just south of the summit of Heihillerhornet the trail forked, with signs left (west) for Heihillerhornet and right (east/north) for Kjerringafjell. I of course opted for the former, and soon arrived at the summit, following a nice trail all the way. The summit provided great views and a good overview of the rest >>>

Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes the third and fourth stages: Valle to Søylen. Stage 3: Valle to Myrdalsvatnet After yesterday's overall disappointing start to Jubileumsstien , I was hoping that Stage 3 and 4 would pick up the quality. And the start from the bus stop at Valle was indeed rather interesting, following the very steep Osvegen. I would not want to drive here in the winter! I did not stay on the steep road for long though, and shortly followed the marked trail northeast, still pretty steep until flattening out when getting closer to the summit of Birkelandsfjellet . Note that the trail does not pass by the summit itself, but it can easily be reached by a >>>

Jubileumsstien With the weather being too unstable for proper mountain hiking, I decided to instead have a go at Jubileumsstien . This is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. I was only doing the two first stages today though, i.e. from Krokeide to Valle. Stage 1: Krokeide to Fana Kulturpark I started by taking the bus to Krokeide and following the smaller roads east. The trailhead was marked by a small sign, but the larger information sign was not found until the real trailhead at Austrefjorden. Not really sure what I was expecting with respect to trail quality, but I was definitely negatively surprised for the first stage. Very wet and with trail markers being >>>

Roundtrip: Frøland to Austre Stemmefjellsnakken (and more)

Datum:

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
9:11h
Entfernung:
28,0km

I started by taking the bus to Frøland and from there walking up the road to Holmane parkering , from where I followed the tractor road (north and then) south. My plan had been to follow the tractor road until it ended, but when coming across a red arrow on the west side of the road just before the road was about to end, I took a chance that perhaps this would provide a trail that could take me to Burlifjellet and left the road behind. The weakness of the trail should have been a hint though, and the trail soon disappeared completely. And although it seemed to reappear from time to time, I'm guessing these were just animal tracks. I therefore gave up on the trail and instead started to make my own way in the direction of Burlifjellet, deciding to include a visit of Ullandsfjellet on the way. Ullandsfjellet was reached without any real >>>

I arrived by bike after my earlier visit of Kongshaug , and easily located the tractor road marking the trailhead for Hovda . After leaving the bike behind at the start of the tractor road, as it was too wet and the grass too high to get any benefit out of cycling, I followed the tractor road until passing the steepest areas between me and the summit. I then ditched the tractor road and found my own more direct route towards the summit, partly following various deer tracks. The ascent included its own short obstacle course with lots of fallen trees that I had to find my way over/under, but the terrain opened up at around 300 meters and from there to the summit it was straightforward to make progress. I also spotted two deer, or maybe the same deer on two different locations on my way upwards. Before heading to the summit itself, >>>

Upon finally arriving at the trailhead for Kongshaug , I quickly found a place to leave my bike and followed the tractor road upwards until it ended at a picnic area with excellent views. At first I did not see any trails continuing from that point, but I soon happened upon a weak trail marked with white plastic ribbons. And although it was not exactly going towards the summit, I assumed it had its reasons, and decided to follow it anyway. It quickly became apparent that this trail was indeed not heading towards the summit, but rather to a viewpoint to the south. By this time I was pretty close anyway, so I stuck with the trail until it came to an end at a visitor register . Interestingly the visitor register was incorrectly marked with 229 meters, but the actual height was more like 209 meters. Still worth a visit if in the area though, as the views >>>

We parked at Kvitingen p-plass and, after paying the 50 kr parking fee, followed the gravel road in the direction of Dukabotnen. The trail started where the gravel road ended (but we got impatient and made a shortcut to skip the last bend of the road) and could easily be followed all the way to Nedsta Dukavatnet, including a bridge that made the river-crossing straightforward. From Nedsta Dukavatnet I made a quick detour on my own to the summit of Hjellafjellet , which provided excellent views, including back down to Kvitingsvatnet, before returning along the same route. After a short lunch break, we started the initially steep ascent towards Trollskarnuten/Trollskardtiden . The later steep section could easily be avoided, although we did one steep shortcut in order to avoid a longer detour in the snow. The remains of the trig marker at Trollskarnuten was thus easily >>>

We intially tried to follow in Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's footsteps and start from Soltveit, but failed to find parking and instead had to start from the north. Our route followed various marked trails and tractor roads and resulted in a nice roundtrip with visits of Vetåsveten , Hestefjellet , Peparen and Vettåsfjellet .

Only a short local hike this Saturday as I had signed up for a hike across Daurmålsegga organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association the day after. A hike that was sadly canceled Saturday morning due to poor weather forecasts, but by then it was too late to change my plans.
