Brekkedalen

Date:
19.07.2013
Characteristic:
Hike

Training walk (after my knee operation) up and down Brekkedalen (turning around at Stora Brekkevatnet) -- not really a hillwalk, this hike, but good for a first training (Brekkedalen is really a nice place to visit, so or so)!

Gullfjellet

Date:
09.06.2013
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
13.8km

Great hike from Osavatnet (315m) to Gullfjelltoppen (987m) with the boys and then down, again, via Redningshytten. The ascent via Ronamanen (leaving the main track, which would connect to Redningshytten from Osacatnet, a few meters above Svartavatnet to the left, then along Småhaugane and up the ridge, passing Markskilfossen) is really a good alternative to the main "Autobahn" up Gullfjellet! :-)

Lyderhorn

Date:
08.06.2013
Characteristic:
Hillwalk

Quick and rewarding hike up and down Lyderhorn (from Kjøkkelvik skole) -- not the "main" route, but right north of it, quite steeply (the starting point if behind the higher buildings up in Olderdalen). Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a page about Lyderhorn .
