Jerfjellet

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:02h
Entfernung:
17,2km

Started by taking the bus to Furuberg and from there following the road alongside Storavatnet until reaching the marked trailhead. Did not think this first part would be very interesting, but turned out nicer than expected with great views along the way, and next to no traffic. The gravel road indicating the start of the trail soon changed into a tractor road before turning into a trail marked with yellow plastic ribbons. But in the beginning it was not always easy to locate neither the trail nor the ribbons. This greatly improved as soon as the trail started its rather steep ascent, and from there on the trail was easy to follow, although a bit weak at times. Upon reaching the northwestern tip of the ridge, there was a marked viewpoint with nice views towards the north. The marked trail continued southeast >>>

Vindeggene We left our car as the only car at the parking lot at Ostereidet Skule (it was a Sunday after all) and decided to walk along the road to Storset. Started out as a paved road, but soon changed into a rather steep gravel road as it started its climb towards Storset. Here we easily located the marked trailhead, but the trail itself was initially a more difficult to see. This did improve somewhat within not too long though, and soon we could also spot Vindeggene in the distance. The unmarked trail was still weak at times and there were several crossroads where it was unclear which path to follow. The trail we ended up following took us west/northwest of the summit, where it continued northwest towards Djupedalseggene , which seems to be the most visited of the two peaks. No clear trails towards Vindeggene that we >>>

Algrøyna: Idlefjell and Sandeie

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
13,4km

We started by taking the bus to Algrøyna and Storevegen (also the name of the bus stop). By following Storevegen we quickly arrived at the trailhead and the start of the marked trails. We decided on the blue trail, starting out as a narrow gravel road, before changing into a trail upon reaching Vågsvatnet. The nice marked trail, including multiple well-made bridges, could be easily followed and we soon arrived at Idlefjell (called Hillefjelllet on the map), for spectacular views, especially towards the sea, but also in all other directions. After signing the visitor register, we continued towards Sandeie /Sandeidneset. Still along a marked trail, but of more variable quality, with some sections that are probably relatively wet in less dry periods. Sandeie turned out to be a very interesting location, with a >>>

Ulriken

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
1:46h
Entfernung:
7,1km

Given that my last attempt in the competition at work for the fastest time from the parking lot at Montana to the upper station of Ulriksbanen failed due to making a wrong turn, I had to make another attempt. The goal was to get there in under 25 minutes, which I did with just three seconds to spare: 24 minutes and 57 seconds. For the return I followed the longer route via Landåseggen.

Entfernung:

Sollikammen Started by taking the bus to Furuberg and in the light rain walking along the main road towards the start of the tractor road for Sollikammen . No sidewalk, but a pretty straight road with good overview of any cars coming my way. As I reached the gravel road taking off northwest along Rydlandsvågen I crossed the road and located the tractor road going southeast along Storavatnet. Clearly not very heavily used, but it did make it straightforward to arrive at the trailhead for Sollikammen, just where the tractor road turned northeast. The trailhead was unmarked, but easy to locate if one knows where to look for it. The trail itself was marked with the odd white plastic marker, but far from frequently enough to be of any real use. At the start the trail was easy to follow, but upon reaching the >>>

Quick hike to Ulriken as part of a competition at work for the fastest time from Montana to the upper station of Ulriksbanen. However, I managed to make wrong turn halfway and ended up on the old trail instead of the agreed upon new stone steps. Realizing that my time would not be valid, I lost most of my motivation and slowed down before reaching the top, ending up at 26 minutes and 43 seconds. After a short break I made a detour to the actual summit of Ulriken, before returning back down to Montana. Not the most interesting hike now what one can follow stone steps almost all the way to the upper station of Ulriksbanen. Feels more like a workout than hiking...

Skjelanger to Fløksand

Tourlänge:
4:57h
Entfernung:
18,0km

I was lucky enough to hitch a ride to Skjelanger (which is not very accessible by bus) and was dropped off at one of the three main starting points for hiking to Storafjellet . Like the other two, this starting point also had the information sign and a marked trailhead, and included a small parking lot with room for a couple of cars. However, while the trailhead was marked, the start of the trail was not very clear as it crossed a field. This soon improved, but shortly afterwards I made a wrong turn by continuing through a gate instead of turning left. I quickly corrected the mistake, but the signs could be better here. From there on the trail was easy to follow, although rather wet at times, until reaching the summit of Storafjellet, which provided excellent views in all directions. Probably one of the best views one can obtain >>>

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:
19,5km

Åsheimveten Started by taking the bus (and ferry) to Fotlandsvåg and locating the marked gravel road towards Åsheimveten just south of the football field. An information sign indicated two possible starting options: either follow the gravel road or take the steeper trail. I went for the trail, which reconnected with the gravel road just before reaching Fotlandssætra , where the gravel road also came to an end. The separate start of the trail was clearly marked and the trail was of good quality and easy to follow. Shortly after leaving Fotlandssætra the trail got significantly steeper, especially the last stretch up to where the trail split for Åsheimveten or Tveitafjellet . But from there on it was easy to reach the summit of Åsheimveten, which provided spectacular views in all directions. Tveitafjellet Next, I returned to the >>>
