Osen, Spåkefjellet and Beitelen

Datum:
27.04.2019
Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
2:22h
Entfernung:
8,7km

Started by taking the bus to Ytre Arna and walking along the roads up to the marked trailhead at the end of Mons Slettens vei. Here there was also a trail coming up from the north, hence there is most likely a shortcut up from Ytre Arna I did not know about. Within minutes I arrived at the Lavvo indicated on the sign, and as soon as I left it behind, I could see the small hill that was the main goal of today’s hike: Osen . While it would probably not have been very difficult to head directly for the summit, I decided to stay on the trail, taking me almost south of the hill, before a new sign marked the trail towards Osen. On the way to the summit I made a quick visit to Osen utsiktspunkt , providing an excellent overview of Gaupås. The views from the summit itself were also pretty good, with unusual views towards Sjurstonipa , >>>

Short hike to Flot where we followed the marked trail on the ascent and the tractor road down to Barsnesfjorden on the descent. Note that there is no parking where the trial starts. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

After giving a talk at a meeting at Solstrand, I took advantage of already being in Os to make a quick visit to Snøkkja . Hopped on a bus to the ferry at Hatvik, and after crossing the fjord, continued on another bus to Skåte. I then walked back along the road to the gravel road to Skåtavatnet, where the gravel road turned into a tractor road, and soon into a trail. The road/trail forked several times, and with no signs for Snøkkja (or Snøkkjo which seemed to be the local name), but there were other signs, including several for Dallandsstølane, that could be followed instead. At Dallandsstølane, or rather slightly northeast of Dallandsstølane, I was again on a gravel road, which I followed all the way to the marked trailhead for Snøkkja. Note that the trail can be easy to miss if coming from >>>

Husdalsfjellet and Hiklettane - roundtrip

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
6:46h
Entfernung:
24,3km

Started by taking the bus to Bjørsvik (bus stop called "Bjørsvik kryss") and from there continuing along the main road for about 100 meters until following the road toward Molvik. Did not stay long on this road though before switching to the very nice gravel road up to Husdalen. (Note that the gravel road is blocked with a locked gate at the very start, but there are a couple of possible parking locations in the area.) Upon arriving in Husdalen I asked for directions and thus easily located the start of the unmarked trailhead for Husdalsfjellet . The directions were as follows: head for the last small house to the north and from there continue upwards to the right of the pine forest. I did as suggested, and shortly found myself on a rather steep trail which soon consisted of numerous old stone >>>

Drangskollen

Entfernung:

Tempted by the nice weather I left work a bit early and hopped on a bus to Kleppe (or rather buses and ferry), but sadly the sun did not stick around and was almost completely hidden behind gray clouds even before I got off the bus. From the bus stop (called "Kleppe austre"), I continued north along the main road until reaching the relatively new gravel road to Haugo. By following the gravel road I easily arrived at Drangevågen, from where I continued on a trail to Drangen. The first part of the route up the gorge behind Drangen was easy enough, there was even the odd trail marker. But further up the trail split, or perhaps more likely a deer track headed left and the trail continued to the right, and soon both trails pretty much disappeared. I first tried the left option, but quickly >>>

Melshovden

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:15h
Entfernung:
3,3km

Started by taking the bus (or rather buses, including a quick visit to Fureberget ) to Sørkvingo where I easily located the marked trailhead for Melshovden . The trail itself was not marked as far as I could tell, but it was straightforward to follow, although a bit slippery at times, predominantly consisting of wet rocky surfaces. Most of my ascent was out of the wind, but as I got closer to the summit the wind started to pick up and the large cairn came in handy as a shelter. Excellent views from the summit, clearly worth the long bus ride! After numerous pictures I started my descent, making it to the bus stop at Sørkvingo with 10-15 minutes to spare. In summary, a very nice short hike that can be highly recommended!

Fureberget at Flatøy

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
0:43h
Entfernung:
3,2km

Decided to split up the bus ride to Melshovden with a short visit to Fureberget at Flatøy. The plan was to get off the bus before crossing the bridge to Knarvik, but for some reason the bus driver ignored my signal and I thus had to re-cross the bridge to get to the trailhead for Fureberget. The trail indicated on the map seemed to be most heavily used by off-road vehicles, probably used to perform maintenance on the antenna at the summit, resulting in rather wet tracks that could be followed all the way to the summit. As expected, the summit did not provide the best of views, and I did not stay long before returning to Knarvik and the next part of the bus ride to Melshovden. Note that the trail, or rather gravel road, toward Skjeljevikane looked much better, so perhaps a route to explore at a different occasion.
