Svekanen, Krossane and Gladihaug

Svekanen Started by taking the bus to Furuberg and, with the help of previous PB-reports, easily located the road towards Svekanen . I did however miss the trailhead, even though it was marked, and ended up following the road a bit too far. On my return I easily located the trailhead, which had been slightly hidden by a tree. The trail itself was also marked, but at times the markers were more easily spotted than the trail itself. This improved just before the trail entered the dense forest, which is also where the best views, predominantly to the east, could be obtained. From there on there were pretty much no views at all. And while the trail markers were still there, it was not always clear where the trail continued. The summit area did contain a visitor register, but it was very well hidden, and I >>>

Elsåsfjellet and Vassberget

9,2km

Given that Elsås, and thus Elsåsfjellet , is rather difficult to get to via public transport, I decided to try to starting from Skardet/Skare instead, where the buses are more frequent. And it started easy enough walking southeast along a nice gravel road. Within not too long I however arrived at a closed gate with a rather massive cow staring at me from the other side. After double checking that I was in fact looking at a cow and not a bull (as I could initially only spot one of them), I opened and passed through the gate, ensuring that it was safely closed behind me. I then noticed up to ten additional cows, but none of them seemed to mind me as I continued up the gravel road. Just before reaching the end of the gravel road I came across another cow, this one all on its own at the side of the road. Again, >>>

After Runemb (Rune Blomberg) recent addition of a new peak on the Bergen ≥ 50m pf. og ≥ 100 m.o.h. list , there was nothing to do but make a new hike to recomplete the list. Started by taking the bus to Bahus and following Engevikvegen northeast until reaching the lake at Engevik. No trails, but there were lots of deer tracks that could be followed to simplify the ascent. After the first relatively steep 100 meters it was straightforward to follow the ridge towards the summit with the terrain being more open than expected. This changed towards the end, where there were lots of medium high bushes. To avoid the densest area I went slightly north of the ridge and there happened upon a trig marker which also provided the best views of the hike. From the trig marker the summit was easily reached, but provided only limited views. Did not stay long before following more or >>>

Solvornnipa from Barsnesfjorden

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:35h
Entfernung:
12,0km

Started from the private parking lot at the end of the gravel road on the south side of Barsnesfjorden. Followed the marked trail via Dal and Helgasete all the way to Solvornnipa . The trail was overall easy to follow and most of the snow was gone, except for 3-4 short stretches close to the summit. A slight haze made for slightly reduced views. After a quick lunch at the summit, I returned via the same route. Note that the road to where the trail starts is private, i.e. no cars allowed. 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.

Short hike to Flot following the marked trail on the ascent and the tractor road down to Barsnesfjorden on the descent. Note that there is no parking where the trail 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.

Short hike from the center of Sogndal to Stedjeåsen and back, along the nice marked trail. This time also visiting the highest point, which provided very limited views and can probably be skipped by most hikers. Note that there are no trails from the visitor register to the highest point.

Skausnøya, Fjellsbøheia, Selifjellet and Grimstadfjellet

Bergtour
Tourlänge:
5:23h
Entfernung:
15,2km

Started by taking the bus to Våge and trying to locate the trailhead for Skausnøya . My path was however immediately blocked by a logging area and huge stacks of logs. As I did not want to enter the backyard of the only house at the end of the short road, and given that I did not know how large the logging area would be, I decided to look for an alternative path, after first looking around for other hikers or locals to ask for directions. I ended up with a roughly 1 km detour via a tractor road coming down from the north, with half of that distance being along the main road, before finally connecting with the trail. Only to notice that I had been less than 100 meters from where the trail started on the opposite side of the stacked logs. And given that my detour actually took me through the logging area >>>

Gråfjellet and Strandafjellet

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:26h
Entfernung:
11,8km

Started by taking the bus to Lønningdal (note: no buses at weekends or evenings) and walked north along Øvredalsvegen before crossing the bridge east towards Gråfjellet . The road soon turned into a tractor road, which I followed until a fairly new sign indicated the trailhead for Gråfjellet. The trail was marked with white and/or yellow ribbons, although the ribbons were sometimes easier to see than the trail. And after not too long, I could see neither ribbons nor trail. Had to give up and simply head the way I thought the trail ought to go. And sure enough, within not too long the marked trail reappeared, and I found myself looking up at Nulten (not sure if the 'l' is a typo?, but that is what was on the map). I quickly lost the trail again though, and instead made my own way to Nulten and the cairn >>>

Ulskebjørnen and Stallane

Datum:

Tourlänge:
3:09h
Entfernung:
12,8km

Started from Ervikveien and walked along the road to Vinddalen where the steep trail for Ulskebjørnen starts. Both the trailhead and the trail itself is marked, but one has to pay attention in order to not miss the initial exit. The trail is overall easy to follow, although the quality is variable with a couple of muddy areas. After a short break at the summit, I followed the trail down to Stallane , which started out quite steep before levelling off in the mid-section. Clearly this route is more heavily used and probably the recommended option if visiting Ulskebjørnen. At Stallane I continued southeast along a very nice trail/road and quickly arrived in Jordalen. The hike was then concluded by walking along the roads to Lønborg.

Storafjellet and Ørnhaugen

Entfernung:
7,0km

Started by taking the bus to Lokøyna (bus stop "Lokøyna kryss nord"), which happens to be exactly where the trail for the rather ironically named Storafjellet begins. I guess the name refers to it being the tallest peak at Lokøyna, if at only 68 meters above sea level. The trailhead did have an information sign, but it was quite deteriorated and fallen to the ground. Not much need for the information though, as the start of the trail was clearly indicated with a small wooden bridge, of which there were several on the way to the summit. We managed to leave the main trail a bit too early though, taking what looked like a weaker trail/shortcut heading north. This trail however quickly disappeared and we had to make our own way to the summit. But we soon reconnected with the main trail and another >>>
