Solvornnipa from Barsnesfjorden

Datum:
20.05.2018
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.

Tourlänge:

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

Entfernung:

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:

Tourcharakter:

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

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
2:42h
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 >>>

Hoklane Started by taking the bus to Blom (bus stop "Blom sør") and easily located the information sign indicating the start of the trail. However I still ended up missing my exit and made a short detour in the direction of Havrå before realizing my mistake. (Basically one has to take the first left up towards the small yellow house.) The nice trail/road took me up to the small barn indicated on the map, but here the trail also more or less disappeared. But by continuing upwards in the direction the map said the trail ought to be, the trail soon became much clearer, and I arrived at a crossroads where it was possible to follow a tractor road in the direction of Såtefjellet . This was not my goal today, so I rather continued north along the trail. But once again I missed my exit and had to backtrack >>>

Bergåsen and Berfjordfjellet

After the visit to Skardsveten we drove to Bergås for the second goal of the day: Bergåsen . We found parking by the side of the road, but had to ask a local farmer to locate the unmarked trailhead. But even then we managed to take a wrong turn at the very start. This was however quickly corrected and we soon found ourselves on a marked trail. The summit itself provided very limited views. But thanks to Kjell's recent report we continued northwest along the ridge for better views. And shortly after leaving the summit the views opened up, and we could enjoy spectacular views towards Radøy and Holsnøy. The trail itself was also very nice and this extra hike can be very highly recommended. We turned back at the trig marker (now added as a separate PB element), although the trail continued across the top. The farmer we talked to at the >>>

We parked at the small parking lot (room for 2-3 cars, unless filled with heaps of gravel as it was today) and followed the marked route to the summit. Started out in dense forest with the occasional viewpoint, but opened up more towards the end. Nice views from the summit area. It was a bit windy, so we did not stay long before returning to the car via the same route.
