Allestadhaugen

Date:
30.03.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
4.4km

Even though the weather was not perfect, we still wished to get some fresh air. After first walking around Varden, we then followed the new (and partially finished) walking trail in the northwest of the soccer fields. From there, it was then just a short round up and down Allestadhaugen, before we headed back along Gjeddevatnet. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Round around Nordåsvatnet

Date:
28.03.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
23.8km

Without a particular goal in mind, we just thought that biking around Nordåsvatnet could be nice. After first heading south, in the west of Sælevatnet, we then crossed over Straume to Søreide, where we took a look a the church (just from the outside). Cycling up via Karlsmarka to connect to Dolvikvegen was an unusual alternative, then. Next, we had the idea to explore Søvika a little. Once back on Steinsvikvegen, we then followed "the usual track" around Steinsvika. We then connected to Nordåsvegen, but not via the usual connection (that's a bit higher up), but via Nordåsbrotet. Next was to cycle down to Skjoldabukta before it was up again along Harald Skjolds veg. Via Skjoldvegen and Sundts veg, we then got to Hopsåsen, which also was unusual as a connection to Troldhaugvegen. >>>

Round around Fyllingsdalen

Date:
07.03.2026
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
27.3km

Was man nicht im Kopf hat, hat man (hoffentlich) in den Beinen, sagt man. I had left something at work, which I wished to use, and since the weather was quite OK, I thought that I could combine the necessary with some biking. I started by surrounding Bønes on its south (north of Nordåsvatnet), heading eastwards. North of Gamlehaugen, when arriving at Fjøsanger, I decided that I could visit Storetveit kirke, which I had seen numerous times while biking either to or from work, but never really visited up-close. Then, I continued further northwards towards the center of Bergen. After picking up my stuff, I then thought that I could equally well continue this "round around Fyllingsdalen", aiming at Laksevåg, next. After passing over Nygårdshøyden and Puddefjordsbroen, I then >>>

Morvikavarden, Olderhaug, and Geitanuken

Date:
01.03.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
7.6km

With also this Sunday inviting us to get some fresh air, we decided to visit Geitanuken again, while making it a round (an elongated one) from/to Åsane. We parked right next to Myrdalsvegen, not far from Åsane Arena, and then headed into the direction of Stornipa, first. In the northwest of Åsane Arena, we then also found a way to get over and into the forest. Stepping up to Stornipa was then just a question of a few minutes and the forest is actually quite nice there. Next, we wished to explore Morvikavarden and to get there, we crossed over Stornipa to connect with road Myrdalskogen in the north. On the northwestern side of "the big bend" of Myrdalskogen, we found an opportunity to "short-cut" further upwards through the forest. After yet again walking along Myrdalskogen >>>
