Walk around Sælevatnet

Date:
14.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
9.6km

This time, the plan was to walk around Sælevatnet. I started from Varden and headed towards Bondegården in the north of Sælevatnet, first. I the surrounded Bondegården in its south (around Neset). On the other side, I then followed Sælenveien southwards, before I turned left to enter Stokkedalen via Løtveitveien. Looking east, I wondered whether it is possible to ascent towards Barhaugen via its very steep western flank. North of house #90 in Stokkedalen, I then found an opportunity to get up (not really a trail, but it looked as if others had done this before, still). This brought me up to Rekdalsveien, which I then followed southwards in order to connect to Barhaugen. At house #95, however, there's no way to proceed; I thus had to "go around" via Fjellsdalen.

Straume

Date:
31.03.2024
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.5km

To get some fresh air, we decided to "explore" the area near the bridge at Straume a little. There we walked along Sælevatnet; back then along Knappatjørna. Not much to write about such a simple walk. :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Sauafjellet and Spjeldsfjellet

Date:
25.03.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
9.9km

We started at Fjæreide and first went up Sauafjellet. From there, we then reconnected with the trail to Kårtveit north of Sauafjellet (descending Sauafjellet northwards without a trail was just fine; only the last few meters were a bit so that one had to find a way of where to go). We then followed the trail into the direction of Kårtveit, passing by Vardavatnet along the way. At Kårtveit, we wished to continue on another trail (to Spjeldsfjellet, a bit further north). We did not see a more straight-forward way then to first step out and onto road 5242, then follow this road northwards for some 200-300 meters, before then turning right and onto the planned trail, again. To pass by Urafjellet in its north (as planned), we needed to find the right "turn left" where also the >>>

Haganesfjellet from Liaskjeret via Lundaneset

Date:
16.03.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.4km

We took the car to Liaskjeret in the east of Liatårnet on Sotra and started our hike at Jonsokhaugen. From there, we first followed the road southwards until its end at Gulenakken. There, we stepped down towards the coast and passed by Nordra Skagavika to cross over to Skaget and Skaghaugen. From Skaghaugen, we enjoyed some nice views across Røssevikvatnet, before continuing further southwards to Lundaneset. This stretch is without trail, but easy to traverse. From Lundaneset, we then started our ascent to Haganesfjellet, first aiming at Kjempa. Near Kjerringastigen, we then started our ascent to Alteret. At about 150 mosl, there's a slightly steeper section, where hands help out with the ascent. From Alteret, we crossed over Adneviksbakkane, making another slightly steeper ascent >>>

Løvstakken from Lerkhaugen

Date:
10.03.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
23.6km

We took our eBikes around Bønes and left them behind near Langeholmen. From there, we first ascended to Lerkhaugen, before continuing into the direction of Lisahaugen (we did not include the "top" of Lisahaugen, though). After following a short stretch of Løvstien, we followed the ridge upwards that also leads to Mindebakken. Instead of stepping all the way up to the "top" of Mindebakken, however, we continued further northwards into the direction of Løvstakken. Kind of "half way up" between Dalen on the right (east) and the "top ridge" to Løvstakken on the left (west), we aimed at a minor trail up to Løvstakken (ascent from the southeast). After stepping through a bit of vegetation at about 300 mosl, we soon found the trail and followed it >>>
