Kanadaskogen

Date:
23.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.5km

Just a round in Kanadaskogen to use the nice weather for a short walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Satzberg etc.

Date:
16.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
9.0km

I wished to get some fresh air around my head and thus started a walk without a particular goal in the beginning. At first, I thought that it would be nice to pass by the Otto Wagner church "Am Steinhof" . From there, I continued northwards. But instead of following "the usual tracks" up to Jubiläumswarte , I eventually headed in a more westward direction with the goal to get up to Satzberg. From there, I found a new track (at least for me) down to Hüttelbergstraße. After taking a quick look at the Otto Wagner Villa of Ernst Fuchs -- just from the outside --, I then connected to the cemetary of Hütteldorf, before starting my return leg. Besides the generally nice walk, it also was nice to see the signs of spring (some nice flowers in the forest for example). Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
23.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
13.1km

We started near Haukeland hospital in Bergen and first walked around Svartediket to get to the trail head north of Ulrikseggen. While ascending the ridge, we repeatedly enjoyed the amazing vierws across Svartediket and towards Bergen! Once on the heights of Ulriken, the hiking party split into two with one part including the actual top of Ulriken, also (via Ulriksskaret). At the upper end of Ulriksbanen, we refreshed ourselves a little, before walking down the Sherpa trail. Clearly, stepping up to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen is one of the nicer variants up! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Nice round on Herdla

Date:
16.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.7km

With yet another sunny day on the horizon, we thought that visiting Herdla (after a long time again) would be nice. We thus drove across Askøy and parked near the church of Herdla. We then walked along Herdlevegen to get first to Valen. After following the "inner" shoreline (to Herdlevågen), we followed a historic access road up Småkalvsøyna, exploring some of the still present WWII positions there. From the southeastern "top" of Småkalvsøyna, we then aimed directly at Storakalvsøyna, right in the east of Småkalvsøyna. This brought us to the southeastern end of Paddehola, offering some nice views from there. We also crossed over the south end of this isthmus, enjoying some additional nice views also from there. From there, we then found a reasonable way up >>>

Kannikahaugen from Bildøybakken

Date:
15.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
12.0km

With a really nice weather forecast, we just wished to use the good weather for a nice walk. The idea was to start at Bildøyfjellet, north of Liatårnet on Sotra, and then hike a (squished) round from there (without any plan to actually ascend to Pyttane nor Liatårnet). We parked right next to Bildøybakken, not far from the corner, where one can also drive to Liaskjeret. Instead of using the access road towards the dam of Bildøyvatnet, we aimed at Bildøyfjellet directly (and without a trail). Given the below freezing temperatures, we found the conditions just right for such an off-trail ascent. Within not too long, we then arrived at Bildøykletten (and at the trail, there). We then followed the trail southwards (via Steinane and Vardafjellet). Before descending to Fjellfestningen, >>>

Hananipa

Date:
09.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.5km

We expected a nice day and tought that Hananipa would be a nice goal. In fact, we tought that making a nice round, including Raudnipa and/or Trollabotsvarden, would be a good idea. We drove out of Bergen into the direction of Voss and left road E16 at Trengereid to drive up to Nordre Skulstad. There, we parked and started our hike by heading towards Geitshushaugen, first, and then further up to Åsen, before connecting to Brunane. After following Brunane all the way up, we then continued up to Hananipa via its western ridge. Already at home, we had talked about the slightly steep section from Hananipa down to Sauaskaret; when then stepping towards this section, we concluded that we did not feel safe enough (with all the snow etc.). We thus turned around and headed back down the western >>>

Hausdalshorgi via Edne from Hausdalen

Date:
01.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
10.8km

On the map, we had started wondering whether it should not be alright to ascend to Hausdalshorgi from Hausdalen. With some over-optimistic hopes for some sun, we headed into Hausdalen and parked at the very end of the road, where we often would start to hike into Brekkedalen. The idea was to walk a short stretch further up Hausdalen, before then aiming at a ridge in the south of Hausdalshorgi with the name of Edne on it on the map. East of Langhaugen, where a stream comes down from Hausdalshorgi, we then left the main trail, which leads further into Hausdalen, seeing where it would be best to get up to the targeted ridge. After crossing the stream, we saw with some positive surprise that quite obviously this place was used to get higher up the hillside long before us, already (while no >>>

Lauvåsen in Jordalen

Date:
19.01.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
54.0km

We had discussed a possible hike up to Storsåta, northeast of Jordalen. The first qualification that happened was our decision to approach Jordalen with our bikes. All this worked nicely and smoothely, using the bike-tunnel between Fyllingsdalen and Minde. The next qualification then was to cross over to Munkebotn via Fløyfjellet. After checking out two options to do so that did not work out (at Lappen and Knatten we read that cycling is not allowed on Søre Kamvei!), we took a route up from Skansemyren. Passing by Skomakerdiket, we then quickly crossed over Fløyfjellet before making it further to Storevatnet and then further down to Munkebotn (the descent from Fløyfjellet down to Munkebotn is quite steep, though). At Munkebotsvatnet, we made a short break to enjoy our packed lunch. >>>

Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren

Date:
18.01.2025
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
17.1km

Given a rather wet winter day, we decided to explore a place, which we had on our radar for a while, already: Storhelleren/Bjørndalshelleren near Loddefjord. To add a bit to this plan, we decided to combine this excursion with a bike-trip there and back. After first cycling north on Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord, we chose to cross the bridge at Hetlevikstraumen and continue to Loddefjord on the west-side of Bjørndalspollen. At Loddefjord, we once again ended up in this dead-end loop for pedestrians at the north end of Bjørndalspollen (without any reasonable option to cross the road over to Loddefjord -- what a city planning mistake?!!). After quickly looping back, we made it onto the road and thus further northwards to the access road for the transformer at Grøvledalen. >>>
