Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Date:
22.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.1km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.

Sangoltshornet

Date:
15.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.0km

We started right next to Sangoltvatnet and quickly found a path that led us up to Sangoltshornet. This really is no difficult, nor demanding hike. Still, one can enjoy nice views, for example, over Raunefjorden. From Sangoltshornet, we then continued -- without path, mostly -- in a south-easterly direction, passing over three, four additional, minor heights. Eventually, we decended -- also without any path (not 100% recommended) in direction NE (basically towards Sangoltvatnet). Once back down, however, we completed a slightly larger round, including a place near the coast with name Sangolthella / Helleskaget. All in all, the hike was refreshing in nice winter weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Sangoltshornet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Sangoltshornet (also via Mannen).

Løvstakken

Date:
18.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.6km

Starting from Nils Langhelles vei (its lowest point), we first ascended primarily eastwards, up to a point on the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken (relatively near to Gullsteinen, actually). Then, we followed the ridge up to Løvstakken and descended on the other side, taking the possible turns to the left, in order to get down, to Krohnegården, again. From there, it then was only a short walk on the street, back to Nils Langhelles vei. A nice 2h winter hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Løvstakken

Date:
11.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.7km

Starting from Krohnegården, we ascended under the (due to storm Nina partially damaged!) cable line up to Løvstakken (the maybe steepest ascend to Løvstakken?!), where we faced cold and icy winds from the north, northwest. This made us return via Strutsefarmen, i.e., first southwards towards Gullstølen, but then westwards and downwards, back to Krohnegården. A quick and nice Sunday hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Sandviksfjellet

Date:
29.12.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
10.3km

Starting from Eidsvåg, following the street up to Munkebotn and then further up Sandviksfjellet. After a short break in the small hut at Aasebu, we continued to Fløyen and from there back down towards Mulen. Even though the weather was pretty wet, we still enjoyed some snow and a good hike! :-) Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends a similar hike up Sandviksfjellet .

Orrehaugane

Date:
27.12.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
4.9km

Starting from Nattlandsfjellet, we first hiked up to Orrehaugane, mostly carrying our skies. Then, when meeting the main trail (also up from Nattlandsfjellet), we continued mostly on skies (also back to Nattlandsfjellet on the main trail). Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Haugavarden, Ulriken, Storfjellet, and Landåsfjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Ulriken .

Spjeldsfjellet

Date:
26.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.6km

From road 210, some ~500m from Landrovegen, we first headed eastover (following an easy to find and well-used path), before we then started to ascend to Spjeldsfjellet. From the top, where we enjoyed extra-strong winds (so strong that it -- at times -- was difficult to prevent falling over!), we first descended towards Spjeldsunnet, before we then turned back (without path, approx. from km 3.6 to km 4.5), getting back to the same path which we had used first (slightly beneath Spjeldsfjellet). All in all a nice hike in stormy weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Spjeldsfjellet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Spjeldsfjellet .

Arnanipa in wet-stormy autumn weather

Date:
25.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
10.3km

While my son played some handball in Bjørnarhallen, this quick and wet hike unfolded in the midst of stormy autumn weather. The path up to Arnanipa was nice -- on the top of Arnanipa there was a strong wind, probably strom. The path down from the top was steep and very, very slippery -- not a good idea, actually, in the rain! The forest road, slightly above Arna, then was nice and relaxing for jogging back to Bjørnarhallen. All in all, a quick and refreshing tour! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Skåldalsfjellet, Herlandsfjellet, Repparåsen, and Arnanipa .
