Biking around Hordnesskogen

Date:
17.06.2023
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
31.8km

With also the other bike repaired, we headed for a new biking-round around Nordåsvatnet. Again, we started our joint ride near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading south (into the direction of Nesttun). This time, we surrounded Kristianborgvannet on the other, eastern side, though. Following the main bike route southwards, we eventually ended up in Rådalen. There, we decided that we would bike around Hordnesskogen in its south. Afte first following Rådalen further south (to the north of the school at Stend), we then turned right and onto Hordesvegen. Near house #202 along Hordnesvegen, we then came to a parking opportunity for those, who wish to start into Hordnesskogen from the south there. There, we headed into Hordnesskogen (in northwestern direction) for a few hundred >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

Date:
03.06.2023
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
25.0km

We had a bike to pick up and wished to ride a little round -- not at the least to also see that it was functioning as well as expected. We started the joint ride at the bike shop near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading first southwards along Kanalveien and then following the track of the no longer existing railway into the direction of Nesttun. At the church of Skjold, we then turned right and cycled down to Skjoldbukta along Harald Skjolds veg. From there, we then cycled up to Nordåsvegen, which we then followed "all around" Nordåsen. On the south, we then descended to Steinsvikvegen. Following Steinsvikvegen around Steinsviken and Søviken, we connected to Søreide and from there further northwards to Sandeidet. All in all, a nice bike ride! :-) See also the >>>

Biking Grimseidvegen (with Storrinden and Stendafjellet)

Date:
05.02.2023
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
35.6km

This time, we were in the mood for a bike trip. We headed first south, passing by Sælenvatnet in its southwest, before then crossing over the narrow connection of Nordåsvatnet and Grimstadfjorden. While heading further southwards, we included a detour up to Storrinden (this was quite interesting as substantial sections of the road up and down were covered with ice). Once back on Ytrebygdsvegen, we continued further southwards. We crossed Flypassvegen and continued into the direction of Hjellestad. Before actually getting there, however, we turned left (twice) to get onto Grimseidvegen. This way, we had changed direction and were cycling in about eastern/northeastern direction. Once passed Grimseidvatnet, we turned right to get onto Skeievegen that brought us to the other side of Hordnesskogen >>>

Double-round to Alvøen

Date:
28.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
28.8km

Even though I had a lot of work to do, still, I could not resist the nice weather and needed to get out, at least a little! Getting onto my eBike, I decided to visit Alvøen (once again) and check out a few of the smaller hills there. To get there, I decided to pass by Tennebekk, first. I thus biked first north in Fyllingsdalen and at Spelhaugen I got onto the gravel road that leads up to Tennebekk. On the other side, I turned south (southwest), again. Passing by Loddefjord, I aimed at Hilleren in the southwest of Haakonsvern. Once past Mathopen, I connected to Skarelien, which brought me up to Hilrafjellet by basically cycling a "full round" around it, first. From Hilrafjellet, I enjoyed some proper views, before I continued to check out Medhaugen next. While I could also >>>

Ørnafjellet (and Lyderhorn) the "wild" way

Date:
14.11.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
17.6km

After a very nice "standard" hike to Møsnuken the day before, we wished to use the second nice weekend day for another, maybe a bit more "experimental" hike. For some time already, we had asked ourselves, whether it is possible to ascend Ørnafjellet near Lyderhorn "direttissima" from Banuren. This Sunday, we thought to try this idea. We took our eBikes and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After rounding Svartaberget and Bjørndalstjørna, we cycled northwards on the eastside of Lyderhorn, passing by Liavatnet. On the northeastern side of Lianakken, we turned left and onto Banuren, leading us up to the houses of Banuren. Between Søre Banuren and Nordre Banuren, where one major trail from Lyderhorn comes down, we left our bikes behind, starting >>>

Approaching Ulriken from Fyllingsdalen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.3km

With a nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to approach our hike by bike (eBike). Starting from Varden in Fyllingsdalen, we first biked around Bønes (along Nordåsvatnet) towards Fjøsanger. From there, we connected to the heights in the south of Storetveit kirke. Following Storetveitvegen, Hagerups vei (around Tveitevannet), and then Birkeveien, we made it to Haukelandsveien, which we followed to the northern side of th hospital. From Årstadveien we then biked along Stemmeveien and Lappen to Tarlebøveien. To focus our hike on higher grounds, we then cycled a little further along Svartediket, before we then left our bikes behind for a nice hike over Vidden . Once back from this hike, we then took the bikes out, again. To get back to Fyllingsdalen, we then chose to take the route via Melkeplassen, biking first along >>>

Short trip to Lyshovden via Bønes

Date:
26.09.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
14.7km

To get a bit of fresh air, I decided to pay Lyshovden a short visit. To do so, I took my eBike and first headed towards the south of Bønes (from Varden via Straume). Near Bønes kirke I took the chance to step up to Storahugen, also. From there, I passed over Bønes via Bønesskogen, connecting to C. J. Hambros vei on the other side. Once at Lyshovden, I first visited the southern hill. After completing a short round, I cycled down to the northern part of Lyshovden. Together with a friend, I then payed Nordre Lyshovden a short visit, before walking around it and getting back up to Lyshovden (then from the north). After that, it was basically to cycle home, again. In surprisingly warm autumn weather, it was nice to get some fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Micro-tops south of Fyllingsdalen

Date:
05.09.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
20.7km

I took the chance to "round up" a few micro-"tops" in the vicinity. This combined eBiking-hiking trip brought me first to Ruskeneshaugen (I do not recommend to follow my track there; all in all, I'm unsure whether there's any good way to get there; and further, it's unclear, why one would get there in the first place), before I continued into the direction of Grimstad (my next goal was to cross over Dolvikfjellet). At Hammarsland, I followed Hammarslandbakken up (basically to where it then also ends) and ascended from there (first into the direction of Dansehaugen in southwestern direction). At about 100mosl, I connected to a trail, which brought me further up to the saddle (with Dolvikfjellet in the east). Crossing over "all the heights" of Dolvikfjellet in >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

Date:
29.08.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
24.6km

To get to a suitable starting location for my Helldal hike today, I took my eBike and made it a (mixed) double round. Starting from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, I first biked along Sælenvatnet towards Nordåsvatnet. At Straume, I crossed over to the southern side, and from Søreide, I basically followed Steinsvikvegen in southeastern direction (mostly to get around Steinsvik and over to Nordås). Since my plan was to come by Skjoldabukta on my way to Nesttun, I left Steinsvikvegen near Dortledhaugen (towards the north), finding a connection that led me up to Nordåsvegen. Instead of following Nordåsvegen right away, however, I made a little extra-detour over Nordåshøgda before getting down to Nordåsvegen (a bit further north) again. I then followed Nordåsvegen until I turned >>>

Lyderhorn biked&hiked

Date:
23.11.2019
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
16.6km

This time, we decided to combine a little bike trip with a short hike up and down Lyderhorn. We started from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After passing by Vestkanten at Loddefjord, we continued further northwards along Lyderhornveien in the west of Skarpafjellet. After crossing over the highway, we biked further upwards along Kjøkkelvikveien, passing by Kjøkkelvik school. We left our bikes at the place, where we met Lyderhornslien. From there, we hiked the main trail up in southeastern direction, heading towards Små-Lyderhorn, first. This time, we also took a few extra minutes to actually step up to the "top" of Små-Lyderhorn. There, we enjoyed a better view than expected, so it is in fact worthwhile >>>
