From Bergen to Varden via Løvstakken

Date:
15.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
11.7km

After work, I decided to move my body a little and walk home via Løvstakken. I crossed Puddefjorden via Småpudden and then ascended towards Juvdalen via Solheimslien. Right next to Strandafjellet, this brought me up to the heights north of Løvstakken. Following one of the main trails, there, I then continued to the top of Løvstakken. Continuing along the main trail southwards, I then crossed over Gulsteinen to get down to Bønes. Walking through Fjellsdalen and following some more roads I arrived at Nordåsvatnet. From there, it was then only back northwards to Varden along Sælevatnet. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Walk around Sælevatnet

Date:
14.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
9.6km

This time, the plan was to walk around Sælevatnet. I started from Varden and headed towards Bondegården in the north of Sælevatnet, first. I the surrounded Bondegården in its south (around Neset). On the other side, I then followed Sælenveien southwards, before I turned left to enter Stokkedalen via Løtveitveien. Looking east, I wondered whether it is possible to ascent towards Barhaugen via its very steep western flank. North of house #90 in Stokkedalen, I then found an opportunity to get up (not really a trail, but it looked as if others had done this before, still). This brought me up to Rekdalsveien, which I then followed southwards in order to connect to Barhaugen. At house #95, however, there's no way to proceed; I thus had to "go around" via Fjellsdalen.

Straume

2:30h

To get some fresh air, we decided to "explore" the area near the bridge at Straume a little. There we walked along Sælevatnet; back then along Knappatjørna. Not much to write about such a simple walk. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Sauafjellet and Spjeldsfjellet

Date:
25.03.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
9.9km

We started at Fjæreide and first went up Sauafjellet. From there, we then reconnected with the trail to Kårtveit north of Sauafjellet (descending Sauafjellet northwards without a trail was just fine; only the last few meters were a bit so that one had to find a way of where to go). We then followed the trail into the direction of Kårtveit, passing by Vardavatnet along the way. At Kårtveit, we wished to continue on another trail (to Spjeldsfjellet, a bit further north). We did not see a more straight-forward way then to first step out and onto road 5242, then follow this road northwards for some 200-300 meters, before then turning right and onto the planned trail, again. To pass by Urafjellet in its north (as planned), we needed to find the right "turn left" where also the >>>
