Haggardsrinden and Kolhusfjellet

Date:
19.04.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.7km

Starting from the parking place near Myrdalsvatnet, we first followed the path around the lake. Soon, we followed the path upwards that also is known as Kubakkane. Shortly before reaching the top, where one would get over to Totland, again, we turned right and fought a short bush war up to Haggardsrinden. From the top, one has a very nice view in all directions! Then, we descended basically towards the same path (Kubakkane), which we only crossed to continued northwards towards Kolhusfjellet. Also up to Kolhusfjellet, we did not really find a good path and so we ascended through the forest. Also from this top, one has very nice views, mostly towards west, via Nordåsvatnet, towards Sotra. We then crossed Kolhusfjellet and descended to Furedalen. Once down in the valley, we turned back >>>

Tennebekksnipa

Date:
12.04.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
3.4km

Starting from Lyngbø, we first walked up the street through Lyngbødalen, up to the dam of Skitnetjørna. From there, we followed the ridge, before we crossed over and ascended to Tennebekksnipa from north. We enjoyed nice views of Lyderhorn and Tennebekktjørna. We descended to Tennebekktjørna, before we returned, following the path through Trongedalane. Before going down, again, on this path, we turned right and up the ridge, again, from which we descended to see Skitnetjørna (which we followed on its western side, back to the dam). All in all, a "small is beautiful" tour! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Duration:

Starting from the last bus stop on Drønen, we walked along the island until we reached Skjenestølen, the highest spot on Drønen -- a short walk, but nice to get out and have some fresh air! :-)

Backcountry skiing
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
14.2km

Starting from the road over Vikafjellet (#13), we skied into Sendedalen (and over to Grøndalen) and then back again. What a fantastic winter day?!!! A really great Easter skiing tour! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Straumefjellet

Date:
29.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from Varden, we first followed Bjørgeveien for a short distance, then turned left into Kjerreidvika. At the seaside, right opposite to Håkonsvern with all its military ships, we started to follow the shoreline -- first on a path, then directly on the short. At the bottom of Hestabakken, we too a look at a (really) small lighthouse. The area is interesting -- one gets the impression that earlier (during WWII?) some major construction work was done here. After a bit more along the shore, we followed a steep, but easy to climb, ridge up into the direction of Kampen. Eventually, however, we ascended to Straumefjellet, instead, and then returned from there via Bjørndalsskogen. At the very end of Bjørndalssskogen, near house #172, there is a small playing ground for kids -- from >>>

Grøntua

Date:
15.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.0km

Starting from Brønndalen, we quickly ascended to Grøntua -- a small top west of Lyderhorn with a nice view! :-) From there, via Olskvikåsen, a school, and Olsvik (another school), we first descended to Olsvikstallen, from where we ascended to Festeråsen, where still ruins from WWII are visible. From there we went back, once again passing over Grøntua. All in all, a very relaxed Sunday afternoon walk (in great spring weather). Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Grøntua .

Storsåta from Eidsvåg

Date:
14.03.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
11.1km

Starting from Eidsvåg, we first followed the old postal path (den trondhjemske postvei), before we turned to the right (at Glasskaret), ascending to Slettafjellet. After having visited Fosshøyen, we crossed over to Litlanipa. From there, it only is a few step, before one ascends to Nukane, passing by Stornipa. Passing over Nukane, we got down into Ullskargjelet, before ascending, again -- this time to Storsåta (the highest top on this hike). Continuing, we passed over Gråbeinryggen and Grønabrekkene, looking down to Setervatnet to our right. At Stangelifjellet, we left the main path and descended over a nice ridge, which separates Setervatnet from Vinddalen, first down to the dam of Setervatnet, before then descending through Kløvet to Vinddalsveien. Then, we simply walked down >>>

Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Date:
22.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.1km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.
