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 .

Distance:

Starting from Nattlandsfjellet, we first hiked up to Orrehaugane, mostly carrying our skies.

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 .

Hike around Baugtveit with Høgstefjellet

Date:
12.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.9km

We started from the parking place in Baugtveit (to right, right after driving up the steep road towards Baugtveit) and walked first along Huseberget and up towards Baugtveitgotene, then around Midtfjellet, and up to Høgstefjellet. From the beginning, this was a very wet hike -- and slippery in some places (due to the recent rain). We then continued northwards, via Baugtveitstemma up to Tellevikafjellet. From there, we went down to Salhusskaret and up, again, to Nordgardsfjellet. From there we continued on the path and down to Hitland (lowest point), before we walked to road up, again, to get back to the car. All in all, it was fun to make this hike (several tops and still well doable without being too straining). :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Vidden from Langedalen

Date:
21.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
10.9km

Starting in Langedalen (between Espeland and Rødland), we first followed the road northwards to Borgo, where we left the road to go up to Borgaskaret. We happened to end up on the path up Kvitnosa, which we followed until we reached Borgavatnet. From there, we connected upwards to Vardegga. Going "back" on Vidden, via Borgaskaret and via Storfjellet, we did not really find the shortest path towards Hauggjelsvarden, but went first to Turnerhytten, from where we turned (again) back towards Hauggjelsvarden (via Byfjellenes høyeste punkt). From Hauggjelsvarden, we descended (without a path) to Langedalen (not really a recommended way of getting back).

Vardafjellet/Orretuva

Date:
14.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
8.7km

Quick Sunday afternoon round, including Vardafjellet and Orretuva, starting from Fjellbirkeland, following first a gravel road towards south-east into Tjørnadalen, before turning back upwards (to the north-east) towards Vardafjellet first, then Orretuva. Afterwards, down to Stignavatnet and along it, before back up to the gravel road. All in all, the hike was moderately boring with only short parts (for ex., along Stignavatnet) through quite romantic nature. Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Orretuva and Vardafjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Vardafjellet (Orretuva) .

Torneberget

Date:
13.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.4km

While my son played some soccer at Slåtthaug, I made a quick ascent to nearby Torneberget -- it's a not-at-all-prominent peak in front of Smøråsfjellet, towards Bergen, with selected views northwards over Bergen. Descending towards Slåtthaug, without any path through the woods, was a little bit challenging, because descending finally towards the houses of Smøråsflaten proved to be very steep (just a few meters, bust still).

Solbakkafjellet

Date:
07.09.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
12.2km

Easy afternoon hike with some nice views! Starting from Bjøllehaugane, first in direction south-east, before entering the ridge up to Solbakkafjellet, it's easy to find (if you take the right turns -- a few paths lead other ways!). On the top, which is stretched out quite a bit, a few nice views over Bergen and nearby mountains (Sveningen, Hausdalshorgi, Sydpolen, etc.) are possible. Down, we first continued towards Frotveitvatnet, before turning left and back (in parallel, south-east to the "main road" into Bontveit). The last stretch -- from Lonsmoget to Almeland -- we made through a pretty magical forest! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Solbakkafjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Solbakkafjellet .
