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 >>>

Short double-round in Milde

Date:
17.10.2020
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.7km

The weather forecast was not too good and also there were other things to do, so the decision was to do something near and quick. We drove south through Ytrebygda, crossing Flyplassvegen to continue further south, towards Milde, following road #573. Coming closer, one follows the signs to Arboretet i Milde. We parked near a Kindergarden along Mildevegen and started our walk in northeastern direction. Once in the green, we turned right and towards Nepegjerdhaugen, which is the highest "top" on the island. Then, we turned back into the forest and headed towards Arboretet. We then walked southwards along a nice trail on the western side of Arboretet. At Naustdalen, we turned right (and towards the school there). With a bit of left and right, we then ended up on Lysthushaugen >>>

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 >>>

To Bergen and back

Date:
18.07.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
19.8km

Walking up Fyllingsdalen and further to Bergen. Enjoying a beer, or two. Walking back. Not much more to write, this time. :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Skåldalsfjellet from Bjørndalen

Date:
04.07.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
8.1km

We drove past Grimevatnet and Haukelandsvatnet into the direction of Osavatnet near Gullfjellet, but stopped next to Gullfjellsvegen where the road crosses a small saddle between Ramsdalshovden in the east and Vemånen in the west to continue along Skåldalselva from there. Leaving our car behind, we continued along this road walking, first around Ramsdalshovden on the right (south) and then around Hjelterinden on the left (north). At Søre Bjørndalen, we used a bridge which leads over Skåldalselva to a few houses on the north-side of the valley. Once on this other side, there, we continued first further along a simple road (passing by Nordre Bjørndalen), before starting our actual ascent to Skåldalsfjellet via Høgrusten. On Norgeskart, we had seen that -- while not on a trail -- it >>>

Kofta (and Gullfjellet) from Nordbø

Date:
20.06.2020
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:00h
Distance:
12.6km

For at least two years, already, we had (occasionally) considered this hike: Kofta from Nordbøbotnen. After a relaxing morning, and knowing that the days are (very) long at this time of the year, we decided to go and do it. We drove from Bergen (via E16 first, then across Gullbotn) and left road #7 right after Hisdalstunnelen (to the right), where it leads on into the direction of Osøyro. Driving down road #137 for only a short stretch, we came to Nordbø, where we turned right (again), now in northern direction. From there, we continued for just about 850m, or so, until we had passed the last house. There, before entering the forest, we parked next to the road. We first walked along the forest road (the same road that we had come in with the car further down) up to about 200mosl (only >>>

Kanadaskogen

Date:
13.06.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.7km

With only limited time at our disposal, we "simply" headed for Kanadaskogen. Passing by Gjeddevatnet (coming from Varden), we stepped upwards from Gjerdsvika. This time, we included Allestadhaugen (between Hesjaholten and Bjørndalsvatnet), before descending to the eastern side of Bjørndalsvatjnet. At the very northern end of Bjørndalsvatnet, where one still finds the remains of some former building, we followed the valley upwards (in northern direction), but just 25 height meters, or so. There, we turned left, first following a trail for a short while, before then continuing "straight" upwards to Træshovden through the forest. At Træshovden, we decided the Svartaberget make up a nice next goal (and off we headed there). Due to its very steep western side, Svartaberget >>>

Nonkletten and Storavika on Korsneset

Date:
30.05.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.8km

With limited time available, and a nice, warm, and sunny day, we decided to make a medium-long hike on Korsneset with nice Storavika as our main trip goal. Driving by Krokeide and continuing further onto Korsneset, we continued all the way to the junction east of Tverrhaugen, where parking is conveniently possible. Before heading towards Storvika, we wished to include Nonkletten, northeast of the parking place. We thus walked for a few meters back the road that we had come. Maybe some 200m into this, we turned left onto a proper trail, leaving in northwards direction. This trail leads nicely upwards to a nice minor hill in the west of Nonkletten. There, on a minor saddle at about 95mosl, we decided to leave the trail and head eastwards into the direction of Nonkletten. Even though one >>>

Evening Løvstakken

Date:
26.05.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.6km

Spontaneously, we decided to do a quick after-work sprint up Løvstakken (the steep way). We parked near the SPAR shop "Sikthaugen" (above Sikthaugen Terrasse) and walked up the pedestrians' connection to Kirsten Flagstads vei. From there, we continued along Rosenlundveien (up to house 43), before taking the trail that ascends steeply underneath the power line in Eastern direction. At about 350mosl, the steepest part of the trail starts (roughly in Northern direction). A bit more the 50 meters higher, one comes out and can enjoy some nice views over Fyllingsdalen. From there, it's then "just" following the trail all to the top of Fyllingsdalen. Definitely a nice alternative of an ascent to Løvstakken! From the top, we then followed the Northern ridge down (into the >>>
