Livarden and Slettegga from Bontveit

Date:
31.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
10.8km

Expecting a couple of nice hours on this Saturday, we planned for a hike that was still on our "to-do list". Specifically, the idea was to combine an ascent to Livarden with one to Slettegga, connecting both via the saddle at Rambjørgvatnet. To do so, and to make this a nice round, we aimed at starting from Bontveit, ascending Livarden from there first (mostly without any trail), visiting Krokvatnet on our way, and then hike over to Slettegga. From there, our plan was to then return to Bontveit via Nobbane. And so we did it. :-) Leaving Bergen southwards along E39, we turned left at Kalandsvatnet to drive road 5162 all the way up to Bontveit. At the highest point of this road (about 300mosl), before it starts winding down to Hausdalen in the south, we parked along with quite >>>

Gullfjelltoppen via Gulltjørna and Storegga

Date:
18.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
13.8km

We looked forward to a cold but sunny autumn Sunday and thus planned a hike "with high expectations"! :-) While we had earlier hiked quite a bit "here and there" in the Gullfjellet area, we not yet had traversed Storegga (in the north of Gullfjelltoppen). Thus we had a plan! :-) To make this hike a nice round, we aimed to start at the saddle between Trengereiddalen and Gullbotn, then traverse (without a trail) to Gulltjørna, before then ascending Gråfjellet and from there Storegga. After that, our plan was to hike down the major trail between Gullfjelltoppen and Gullbotn. We left Bergen to the East, following E16 from Arna until the roundabout near Trengereid, where we turned right (in southern direction). We then drove up Trengereiddalen until we came to the saddle >>>

Austlendingen

Date:
11.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
8.7km

We left Bergen on E39 towards the north (Knarvik) and continued further on E39 in northeastern direction (north of Osterfjorden) after having past Knarvik. Right before we would have entered the long Eikefettunnelen, we turned left (onto road 570) and parked only meters after leaving road E39. Our main goal of the day was Austlendingen and we had thought to start along the main trail there, which starts just meters west of the entry to Eikefettunnelen (on the southern side of road E39). Our plan, as prepared at home, was to attempt a round (off trail up, on the main trail down), but when we came to the trail head, we encoutered a pretty bold sign informing everyone about the ongoing hunting period and that hikers should stay on marked trails. After a little bit of consideration, we decided >>>

Krampane and Hamlagrøhornet

Date:
04.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
9.6km

The day after our hike to Kjerringafjellet , we again started from Hamlagrøvegen -- this time, however, into the other, northeastern direction. Our first goal was Krampane, north of the cabin named after Alexander Grieg at Holeberg. We first walked along the western slope of Røvhaugane, before then crossing over to Svartagrovi in northwestern direction. Just a few height meters below 700mosl, we crossed the stream and continued (for a not very long stretch) along the marked trail in northern direction. Roughly where we crossed 700mosl, we diverted from this trail to the left and continued (in northwestern direction) towards the southern ridge of Krampane. Just a bit above 800mosl, then, we had connected to that ridge and continued along it upwards (all the way to Krampane). Up there, we then enjoyed some really >>>

Kjerringafjellet

Date:
03.10.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
10.8km

We drove from Bergen to Bergsdalen (via Dale) and parked right where the road through Bergsdalen crosses from Vaksdal district to Voss district. On the southwestern side of the road, we stepped off the parking lot and on to a trail that leads into the direction of Øvretjørni, leading through a field of cabins there. Surrounding Øvretjørni in its northwest, the trail then turns more into a southward direction, aiming for the saddle between Magneknolten and Kjerringafjellet. Once in the west of Magneknolten, the trail surrounds Rjupehaugane in their south until it brings one into a small valley that extens upwards to Hardingskaret in its northwest. Before actually getting there (Hardingskaret), one turns left, again, and towards Kjerringafjellet. A steadily ascending slope leads up to >>>

Krånipa, Raudnipa, and Hananipa (from Gullbotn)

Date:
19.09.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
7:30h
Distance:
17.7km

After a quite rainy period, we looked forward to a weekend with some nice weather. After weighing several hiking ideas against each other, we settled on a slightly longer hike over three Nipa-mountains in the East of Gullbotn. Driving along E16 from Arna, we turned right and up towards Gullbotn near Trengereid. Once above the saddle, we left the road at Gullbotn and parked right there (quite a number of parking places there). According to our plan (Krånipa first), we first headed in northern direction to get around Øyjordsvatnet. Almost exactly where Teinelva enters Øyjordsvatnet, we used a convenient bridge for pedestrians to get over to the other, eastern side. There, we turned left, again, to head for a small valley that runs south-north in the west of Skåpet. While passing by >>>

Skarsnosi from Jordalen

Date:
07.08.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
10.1km

We expected a nice day and thought about Bakkanosi, since we had not been there before. Looking down onto Nærøyfjorden from this place sounds like a worthwhile experience! We thus drove along E16 into the direction of Gudvangen, passing by Stalheim. Quite a bit down in Nærøydalen, we then turned left and used the new tunnel up to Jordalen. Not far up in Jordalen, where Slettedalen comes down from the East, one would park to start the "standard hike" to Bakkanosi (through Slettedalen). Coming there, we were shocked about the relatively large number of parked cars and immediately changed our plan. Instead of Bakkanosi, we now planned for Skarsnosi, not far from Bakkanosi. To get up there, we had thought to hike up the next valley (north of Slettedalen). To do so, we drove >>>

Tverrfjellet from Bidne

Date:
06.08.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.6km

The weather forecast was moderately OK (quite a bit overcast with realistic chances for some rain), so we aimed for a moderate hike, bringing us not too high up (and into the clouds). Since we had not been there before and expected at least some nice views from up there, our choice was to hike up to Tverrfjellet from Oppheim. We thus drove to Oppheim first and then left the main road (E16) near Framnes to drive up a simple road into the direction of Bidne. A few meters after reaching Bidne (that's about one kilometer from E16), we turned right (eastwards) and drove a few meters more towards Bidneshovden. There, we parked and started our hike (in northern direction, on a forest road). We followed the forest road northwards, staying on the western side of Sundsvålselvi, steadily ascending >>>

Okslevarden

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
9.7km

When staying over night in Haugsvær, we were recommended to ascend to Gråsida from Indre Haugsdal. So that's what we did then! :-) We drove road E39 "back" south (into the direction of Bergen) and turned right in Matre (to leave E39 before entering Masfjordtunnelen). This brought us onto the old road and following it we entered Indre Haugsdal from Haugsdalvågen. Driving up this nice valley, we came by three particular hills (in the middle of the valley), which possibly gave the valley its name. Near Kjetland we crossed the river on an old stone bridge, turning right (into the direction of Storemyr) right after the bridge. Since we did not see any particular good parking opportunity next to this narrow road, we drove all the way to Storemyr and asked there. Luckily, we were >>>

Around Hopsdalen

Date:
31.07.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
8:30h
Distance:
22.4km

We drove along road E39 from Bergen northwards (into the direction of Masfjorden). After driving down through the long Masfjordtunnelen and passing through Matre at the very end of Matresfjorden, we crossed over to Haugsvær "behind" Nonklettfjellet. Before the main road (E39) disappears into another tunnel, we turned left in Haugsvær and parked right there. Our (slightly ambitious) plan for the afternoon was to go around Hopsdalen (from Høgfjellet via Grønefjellet to Gavlen, and back via Rustefjellet). Considering the steep sides of Hopsdalen, we had looked at the map regarding a possible place for getting up to the top of the surrounding mountains. Near Indre Skjerjehogen, on the north side of Haugsværfjorden, we had thought that it should be possible to reach saddle Sygnegga >>>
