Kjeringafjell from Kleppa

Datum:
15.08.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:25h
Entfernung:
19,0km

I started from the parking lot at Kleppa and from there tried to follow the signs to Kjeringafjell (or rather Kjeringi as used on the signs). The first sign indicated that it was only 6.2 km to the summit, which I found odd, given that earlier PB reports showed distances closer to 10 km. However, most, if not all, of these were from skiing trips, so perhaps the summer route was shorter. The signs did not always include Kjeringi though, resulting in multiple checks of the GPS to make sure that I was choosing the correct option when the trail split. This became much easier when getting above the tree line, but then the signs were not really needed anymore anyway. After leaving the gravel road, there were also a couple of wet sections, but most could easily be avoided by following the trail next to the tractor road instead of the >>>

Flot and Flotshaugen

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:10h

3,5km

Short hike across Flot . This time also including a visit to Flotshaugen . This minor summit is easy to access, but the very limited views means that most hikers will probably be happy skipping it and sticking with only the visitor register .

Skjerdingane Øst from Laugadalen

Datum:
09.08.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:39h
Entfernung:
18,3km

Given that our attempt to reach Skjerdingane Øst earlier in the week had to be abandoned due to bad weather , we simply had to give it another go as soon as the conditions improved. We followed the same trail up Laugadalen as last time, and also a pretty similar route from Laugavatnet to Styggebotngrovi, i.e. first along the weak trail from Laugavatnet and then finding our own way next to the stream. As mentioned in the previous report, our plan was to follow in the footsteps of arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) (see his trip report here ), which of course today was made easier by the fact that we now knew where to locate the start of the trail in Styggebotngrovi. To summarize, the trick is to head to the bottom of Styggebotngrovi and start heading up on the eastern (i.e. right-hand) side of the gorge. A weak trail should then shortly appear. At this time of the year the trail was lined >>>

Laugadalen (and an abandoned attempt at Skjerdingane Øst...)

Datum:
05.08.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:47h
Entfernung:
14,1km

We started out from the parking lot at the bottom of Laugadalen in perfect summer weather and from there followed the forest road, and later marked trail, to Laugavatnet . The trail included several wet areas, but was otherwise easy to follow. Excellent views along the way and also at Laugavatnet itself, where one comes relatively close to Gunvordalsbreen. Our plan was now to follow in the footsteps of arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) (see his trip report here ) and reach the summit of Skjerdingane Øst . From Laugavatnet we followed a weak trail along the north side of the lake. Clearly not very heavily used, but it could initially be followed without too much difficulty. Within not too long the trail however disappeared completely, and we ended up having to make our own way towards Styggebotngrovi, more or less following along the stream. From Arnt's report >>>

Nuken from Åsen

Datum:
04.08.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
3:46h
Entfernung:
14,4km

We payed the toll in Åsavegen , parked at Åsen p-plass , and followed the marked trail to Nuken . After a short break at the summit, the rest of my party returned along the same route to the car while I followed the marked trail to Hølsete. The trail was easy to follow but is probably rather wet during less dry periods. I tried finding the shortcut via Røvhaugane , but failed and had to take the long way around. (I later learned that the proper trail is not the main trail indicated on the map, but rather the one passing by the houses further south.) The hike was completed by walking along the roads to Barsnes.

Grøet, Flæfjellet and Storafjellet (Roundtrip)

Datum:
27.07.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:55h
Entfernung:
16,5km

Started by taking the bus to Eikedalen (bus stop called Eikedalen Skisenter) and walked along the road up to the start of the ski slopes. From there I followed a steep tractor road west and later north, taking me almost all the way to the summit of Grøet . The final off-road stretch to the summit was straightforward. By now the light breeze had picked up quite a bit, which was very welcome on this warm summer day, with temperatures even this high probably being above 25. I made a short detour north for better views down to Kvitingvatnet, before turning east to Flæfjellet , soon coming across a trail/animal track that I could easily follow all the way to the summit. I did make another short detour south just before reaching the summit though, just to be able to look down into Eikedalen. At Flæfjellet I enjoyed >>>
