Approaching Ulriken from Fyllingsdalen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
29.3km

With a nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to approach our hike by bike (eBike). Starting from Varden in Fyllingsdalen, we first biked around Bønes (along Nordåsvatnet) towards Fjøsanger. From there, we connected to the heights in the south of Storetveit kirke. Following Storetveitvegen, Hagerups vei (around Tveitevannet), and then Birkeveien, we made it to Haukelandsveien, which we followed to the northern side of th hospital. From Årstadveien we then biked along Stemmeveien and Lappen to Tarlebøveien. To focus our hike on higher grounds, we then cycled a little further along Svartediket, before we then left our bikes behind for a nice hike over Vidden . Once back from this hike, we then took the bikes out, again. To get back to Fyllingsdalen, we then chose to take the route via Melkeplassen, biking first along >>>

Ulriken via Ulrikseggen

Date:
17.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
13.9km

With a remarably nice Sunday ahead of us, we decided to make a round over (parts of) Vidden, starting with an ascent to Ulriken via Ulrikseggen. After first cycling to Svartediket (and a bit along it on its northern side), we started to hike not far from Koftebrotet, following the gravel road, first. This way, we passed by Hardbakkadalen and then also Isdalen, surrounding Svartediket on its eastern and then southern side. After crossing the stream that comes down Isdalen (and not following the Isdalen-trail upwards from there as one also could), we continued a little further along the gravel road until it makes a moderate turn to the right (north), leading down to Karistølen from there. It is in this turn that one can start the actual ascent via Ulrikseggen, following a trail through the forest (upwards in >>>

Crossing Gullsteinen to Fyllingsdalen

Date:
13.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
8.5km

After dropping off my bike for a service I head back to Fyllingsdalen. After crossing Fjøsangerveien near the near tunnel portal (for Bybanen and cyclists), I walked up Grønestølsveien to find a way into the green above the houses. After getting to Grønnestølslien, I could not see an immediate opportunity to continue further up. Accordingly, I first followed Grønnestølslien in southern direction until it ends near a littl stream that is coming down from Løvstakken there. There, I connected to a proper trail that leads upwards; first on the eastern side of the stream. At about 160mosl, I crossed the stream and continued further upwards in western direction. After crossing over an old stone wall, I arrived at a somewhat flat spot at about 250mosl. From there, I continued further >>>

Nice hike around Hisdalsvatnet

Date:
09.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:45h
Distance:
10.2km

The weather forecast was OK and it looked like there was a good opportunity for a nice hike in the neighborhood. For a longer time already, the Hisdalen nature reserve had (silently) recommended itself and so we decided to pay this somewhat separated part of Bergen ("separated" in the sense that it's kind of "behind the hills of Fanafjellet") a visit. We took the car via Fana to Krokeide, where we parked next to the road (near the saddle before one drives down to the ferry terminal at Krokeide). We then walked (first along a minor road) into the direction of Austrevågen (in eastern direction), before continuing along the forest road towards the southwestern end of Hisdalsvatnet. There, our goal of crossing the stream out of Hisdalsvatnet was challenged by the large >>>

Lyderhorn (between two showers)

Date:
02.10.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.1km

Given a rather wet day with showers coming through one after the other, we grabbed the chance of one rain break and included a short hike up to Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvikveien). We started along Lyderhornslien (into the direction of Olderdalen), but then chose to take the somewhat less used route up that has its trail head between Lyderhornslien 120 and 122 (some steps up, first, from between the houses). The trail is by now much better visible and it's easy to follow it upwards into the direction of Lyderhorn (first in southeastern direction, before turning left into north eastern direction). From 250mosl upwards, one can then also enjoy some nice views (mostly in western direction). From Lyderhorn, we then took the more popular route down (first in southern direction until close to Små-Lyderhorn, >>>

Short trip to Lyshovden via Bønes

Date:
26.09.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
14.7km

To get a bit of fresh air, I decided to pay Lyshovden a short visit. To do so, I took my eBike and first headed towards the south of Bønes (from Varden via Straume). Near Bønes kirke I took the chance to step up to Storahugen, also. From there, I passed over Bønes via Bønesskogen, connecting to C. J. Hambros vei on the other side. Once at Lyshovden, I first visited the southern hill. After completing a short round, I cycled down to the northern part of Lyshovden. Together with a friend, I then payed Nordre Lyshovden a short visit, before walking around it and getting back up to Lyshovden (then from the north). After that, it was basically to cycle home, again. In surprisingly warm autumn weather, it was nice to get some fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Vassenden and Store Kongshaugen

Date:
25.09.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:15h
Distance:
8.9km

I needed some fresh air and thus decided to make a short hike through the forest in the north of Store Kongshaugen. To get there, I cycled first into the direction of Haakonsvern, before turning to the right and onto Vassendveien (near the entry to the military area at Haakonsvern). Right below Ørnahaugen, I left my bike behind and started my little forest hike. I first walked in northern direction (not directly towards Vassenden though) and found a nice trail which then brought me up to Grønabrekka. Grønabrekka has some steep sides towards the west, making it really nice to traverse it along its south-north top line. After walking over all of it, I found myself not far from Høghaugen (and not far from Storavatnet, neither). I included Høghaugen via a little loop, before heading >>>

Eggene (and back via Raudlifjellet)

Date:
19.09.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
6.9km

With most of the day overcast, the day's goal was an excursion into the forest in the southeast of Hausdalen. We drove first along E39 into the south of Bergen, parking not far from this road near Bahus. From there, we first walked along the road, crossing Straumen on the road's bridge, before quickly finding a tractor road that would lead us behind the houses (in northeastern direction, towards Storerinden). Once past the houses, we also left the tractor road, ascending to the gentle ridge (Storerinden). Once on the ridge, it was then straight-forward and easy to follow it (in northeastern direction). This way, one gets directly to Høghaugen (in the northwest of Breidalen) with some first nice views into Hausdalen (and down to Hauglandsvatnet). To connect further to Eggene, one needs >>>

Sveningen via Åsen from Brekkedalen

Date:
12.09.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
13.2km

The weather forecast has been promising (very promising), even in the morning, so what could go wrong? :-) Considering the expected day full of sunshine and pleasant hiking temperatures, we aimed at something slightly "bigger" and since we had not visited Sveningen recently, we planned a nice hike over this mountain! To make this a bit more interesting, we decided to include an ascent that we had not tried before (and of which we also could not find any other report from others), i.e., up to Åsen, first, from the north, and then over the northernmost part of the Sveningen massif (in eastwards direction, kind of "parallel" to Brekkedalen in the north of it). To get started, we drove into Hausdalen (from E39, south of Bergen) and all the way into it (until the parking >>>

Micro-tops south of Fyllingsdalen

Date:
05.09.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
20.7km

I took the chance to "round up" a few micro-"tops" in the vicinity. This combined eBiking-hiking trip brought me first to Ruskeneshaugen (I do not recommend to follow my track there; all in all, I'm unsure whether there's any good way to get there; and further, it's unclear, why one would get there in the first place), before I continued into the direction of Grimstad (my next goal was to cross over Dolvikfjellet). At Hammarsland, I followed Hammarslandbakken up (basically to where it then also ends) and ascended from there (first into the direction of Dansehaugen in southwestern direction). At about 100mosl, I connected to a trail, which brought me further up to the saddle (with Dolvikfjellet in the east). Crossing over "all the heights" of Dolvikfjellet in >>>
