Langaneset from Vadmyra

Date:
26.10.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.4km

Not much to write. Stretching my legs a little, taking a look at Loddefjord kirke (and also at Frasmers Møllestein). Then exploring Langaneset in Storavatnet. More rain was expected, but we take it with less, also, I think! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Short round at Varden

Date:
05.10.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
2.4km

Despite the rain, some fresh air was needed, and thus I made a short round at Varden. Good to get out for a short while! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Knappen

Date:
29.09.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
4.7km

Instead of doing something larger and longer, we "ended up" making a short excursion to Knappen, only. Short, but nice! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Nancy, Zinnerbach

Date:
21.09.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.2km

I wished to explore the area of Nancy, not far from Kraslice/Graslitz. I parked at the moderately large parking lot in Nancy and then walked -- first along the road, then up the forest road that extends in parallel to Zinnerbach. Once "up on the heights", or so, I turned around, also since I did not have more time, and walked back the same route. Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Instenova and Ytstenova on Alden

Date:
07.09.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
6.2km

We had stayed on Værøyna over night and then could borrow a small boat to get over to Alden. We "parked" the boat at the main quay in Aldevågen and started our hike from there. Following the one trail that leads up to the top(s) of Alden, we made quick progress -- the terrain is very steep, but the trail is very good and easy to step up. Once up to about 300 masl, we headed towards the hightest peak on Alden, Instenova, in the East of the island. Following the main trail, we could nicely make it to the top without any difficulties. Clearly, one gets lots of great views from the heights on Alden -- very nice! :-) After our visit to Instenova, we then wished to also see "the other top", Ytstenova, on Alden. To get there, we crossed over the heights, passing by the >>>

Evening Ormhelleren

Date:
28.08.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
2.5km

Given a likely rain-free evening, we headed out to Ormhelleren in the south of Rongøyna in Øygarden. We first explored the area around Hesthaugen before then testing the waters in the bay southeast of Hesthaugen. On the way back, an attempt to cross over Rongaloftet failed due to a lack of time, the trail leading towards the east (instead of the north), and the absence of a willingness for some evening bush war...

Wet Arboretet

Date:
24.08.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
3.7km

Despite the rather wet weather forecast, we still embarked on a visit to Arboretet in Milde. It was nice (and [very] wet). :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Skåldalsnipa direttissima via Moldalia

Date:
18.08.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
5.1km

The idea was to ascend to Skåldalsnipa "direttissima" via Moldalia. Why not? Not a good idea on a wet day -- probably true. Still, this is what happened anyway. Consider with care, if you -- for whatsoever reason -- wished to do the same. From the road with name Moldalia it was first "gently upwards" in eastern direction, walking along a proper forest road / trail. As soon as after passing by the last houses, however, it was into the forest and up the slope. From this point, and up to Skåldalsnipa, it was then mostly a climbing effort using all four extremities. Also, there was quite some vegetation to get around. Quite a bit of this vegetation, however, was also helpful to provide some additional grip. Once above about 500 masl (and there above the tree line), >>>

Kongsberg north of Ulvik

Date:
04.08.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.1km

With relatively low-hanging clouds, we aimed at a simple hike that would remain beneath the clouds, but still offer some nice views, hopefully. After some consideration, we thought that hiking up to Kongsberg near Ulvik could be a good solution. We took the road up from Ulvik to Aurdal and parked right next to the road right after passing over Verafossen. From there, we then followed a forest road that lead initially into Seljestidalen, before then winding up towards Klyvhals on the southeastern side of this valley. South of Røyneskor, this forest road leads then westwards (to Vestrheimskleppe). There, one eventually gets to see over the treetops further below and down to Ulvikafjorden. To continue further upwards to Kongsberg it is then mostly to just follow the forest road further. >>>

From Odda to Buardalen via Ruklenuten

Date:
03.08.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
8:00h
Distance:
12.1km

We wished to make a nice hike from Odda and found Eidesnuten as a worthwhile hiking target, promising nice views in multiple directions. Starting from Eidesåsen, some 250masl and about 150 heights meters above Eide in the south of Odda, we followed a very well-marked trail. Even though one may expect more hikers on such a well-treated trail, we did not meet anyone. Within not too long, we arrived at Eidesnuten and found that our expectations regarding the views were indeed well-founded. Not only could we see northwards and out Hardangerfjorden, north of Odda, as well as southwards, across the large lake Sandvinvatnet, but also we got some nice views over to Buarbreen, already from Eidesnuten. From Eidesnuten, our goal had been to ascend further upwards to Ruklenuten (in the northwest >>>
