Indrafjellet from Liaskjæret

Date:
09.04.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
8.2km

We drove from Bergen to Sotra, turning left before entering the tunnel and driving south to Liaskjæret on the eastside of the island. We parked near Liaskjervegen 182, i.e., very close to the point at the street, where the bus turns around. We followed the street southwards, basically to its end---very near to a small harbor for private boats. We went around the last houses and came soon to a small bay (called Nordra Skagavika). From there, we followed a very simple path that leads up to a small lake (Røssevikvatnet). We continued on the western side of this small lake, approaching Hansafjellet. It's straight-forward to hike there, even though we could not see any paths (occasionally, it's wet, yes). It was good to change over to Hansafjellet on its northern end---ascending to this >>>

Alteret

Date:
13.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
3.5km

We parked in Haganes, almost at sea level, and near this little park, which they have set up close to the sea. Actually, before starting our hike, we first inspected this little park, which is there in Haganes kind of unexpected! :-) We then walked along the sea for a few meters (on the eastern side of the bay, vis-a-vis Notaneset), before we connected to another small road, serving a number of new houses there. Behind the houses on the eastern side of this road, we eventually found a narrow path, leading in southeastern direction (as we had planned). We managed to get around and up the first cliff, following this simple path, and crossed over, then, along a comparably wet path, to the next cliff. Climbing a few steps up and around, we ended up at the other side to this small cliff and >>>

Golta

Date:
03.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
4.1km

We drove to Sotra and then southwards into the direction Klokkarvik. At Eide, we turned right, into the direction of Glesvær. Relatively near to Glesvær, we turned right, again---this time into the direction of Golta. We drove over the bridge to Golta and parked the car along the road, a short bit before reaching Nedre/Øvre Golta. We weren't 100% sure were "the path to Sandvika" would leave the road and searched for a short while, before we decided to follow something that looked in the beginning like a track (maybe sheep!). We passed through a couple of trees, before finding a suitable spot to cross a simple fence. We then followed a "height ridge" towards northwest, right next to a significant depression, called Trolldalen. Halfway out, we came to another fence---this >>>

Pyttane in windy weather

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
5.9km

Refreshing walk up and down Pyttane with all sorts of weather! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Liatårnet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Liatårnet .

Liatårnet and Høgafjellet

Date:
15.11.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:45h
Distance:
8.4km

We parked south of Fjell, where a road departs, leading to Fjell Festning. We followed this road for a bit, before we continued towards Liatårnet (to the right). Someone has put significant efforts into putting signs up and marking the path, so it's really straight forward now to find the path up Liatårnet. :-) From Liatårnet, we enjoyed nice views in all directions, before we continued southwards towards Høgafjellet. After the first descent, we probably followed an older path, before we connected back to the blue-marked path towards Høgafjellet. The path from Liatårnet to Haganes, via Høgafjellet, is really very nice with great views and rough, wild romantic impressions. Before walking out towards the road near Haganes, we descended to a half-high level. We were wondering, whether >>>

Barmaneset on Algrøyna

Date:
14.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
7.0km

We parked on Nordre Øyavegen, right before getting close to the few houses on northern Algrøyna. From there, we first followed the road further (and down and upwards, again), before continuing on Kongvikvegen (to the west). After maybe 200m, a barn is on the left side with some signs that hiking tracks are leaving the road from there (down between the road and the barn through a narrow passage). Once this entry point is found, the rest of the tour is quite straight forward (or more in a round, actually). We walked out Barmaneset to the west, approaching Rognkallen and Langtrotten at the end of this peninsula (and Kungvika on our right). Once we came close to Krabbakeila, right between Rognkallen and Langtrotten, where the ocean waters get wild, even on a very calm day, we first approached >>>

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).

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 .

Liatårnet

Date:
18.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.8km

Evening walk, almost in the dark, and in the middle of windy clouds (but with less rain than expected!) -- it's always nice to walk up and down Pyttane, especially, if there's limited time! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Liatårnet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Liatårnet .

Skogsøy in stormy weather

Date:
04.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
5.5km

With the weather being quite stormy, this was an exciting tour to Skogsøy! :-) It's one of the view places, which I know and appreciate, where you get close to the open north sea, here in the vicinity of Bergen -- a place to return to again and again!
