Evening Hike Up Mount Ulriken

Date:
16.04.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:46h
Distance:
1.8km

This evening I hiked Mount Ulriken. I started out from my Bergen apartment just behind Haukeland University Hospital, and hiked along a trail that goes pretty much parallel to the cable car, though it also crosses a few time underneath the cable line. This route is very nice, in that it goes through the forrest until you've come to the forrest boundary; thereafter it just goes through heather and over stones and rock. I arrived at the area of the upper cable car stop just in time for the sunset, and managed to capture some nice images.

With my daughter Sol to the summit of Mount Storhornet

Date:
26.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:44h
Distance:
6.8km

As on multiple other occasions, I ascended the summit of Storhornet, the highest peak on the mountain of the island Godøy, in Giske Municipality, in Møre & Romsdal County on the west coast of Norway. I have frequently climbed this mountain alone, but on several occasions I've also climbed the mountain along with one of my children; and on this day it was my oldest daughter Sol who joined me for the hike. We parked our car on the parking lot in Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's Bay], and started out from there. This parking place is spacious, and it's free of charge, so I recommend it to anyone who's planning to do this hike. The trail up the north face of the mountain starts about 100 meters from the parking lot. There is a combined pedestrian and bicycle lane on the other side of the road, >>>

Another Winter Hike to Mount Storehornet on Godøy Island

Date:
05.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:45h
Distance:
7.0km

On this day a made a hike to the summit Storhornet on Godøy Island off the coast of Møre & Romsdal County on the west coast of Norway, along with my son Dag. We parked at the new parking lot in Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's Bay], where there's plenty of space even during the tourist season, and set out from there. We followed the regular route up to the plateau where Lake Alnesvatnet (250 m.a.m.s.l.) is located, then continued along the lake till we reached the northeast end of it, from where we followed the usual path along the mountain ridge to the summit of the mountain. There was snow all the way up on this particular day (snow often comes and goes during the winter, as the island is located within the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic Ocean). Back down we used the same route as we had used >>>

Winter Hike to the "Big Horn" on Godøy Island

Date:
06.02.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:05h
Distance:
10.4km

I've been hiking to the summits Storhornet and Lesten on the mountain of the island Godøy multiple times. This afternoon I did this trek again. I set out from the relatively new parking lot in the bay called Hestvika [i.e. The Horse's bay]; which is rather spacious, making it possible even to park there with a lorry. I frequently borrow either my wife's car or my son's car when I go trekking, but on this day they were both at work; hence I had to use my truck/lorry, as that's the only vehicle owned by me. I climbed up to the plateau on which lake Alnesvatnet is located, and continued up the ridge just north east of the lake, towards Storhornet. The trail curves southwards, and then southwest as you approach the summit of Storhornet (495 m.a.m.s.l.). From Storhornet it is possible to just continue >>>

Ettermiddags- og kveldstur til Frostatinden

Date:
16.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
11.2km

Frostadtinden er et fjell mange av de jeg kjenner har vært på, så jeg fant ut at jeg også ville ta meg en tur dit. "Kjør Nakkedalen til endes," sa min sønn til meg, "og så parkerer du på parkeringsplassen du kommer til rett før veien begynner å gå nedover igjen mot Fiksdalen. Jeg gjorde som han foreslo, og la i vei på tur derfra. Jeg hadde stått opp litt sent denne lørdagen, og klokka var snart tre allerede, men jeg hadde hodelykt med meg, og dessuten litt nistemat. Fra Reset parkeringsplas går det to forskjellige stier/traséer opp til Frostadtinden, og skal man tro skiltene som står der, er begge veier omtrent like langt å gå. Den ene går omtrent rett sørover fra parkeringsplassen, og så rett opp på fjellryggen som strekker seg fra Vatneeidet til Frostatinden, >>>

A 2nd Trip Across Mount Ulriken, Rundemanen and Blåbanen

Date:
06.01.2016
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:43h
Distance:
20.0km

Whenever I'm going to be on call during the weekend at my work as a medical doctor and a cardiac surgeon at our hospital in Bergen, I have the advantage of having a day off on Wednesday prior to that weekend. This was such a Wednesday, and I had decided to make the most of it; and so I set out for a long trek. Having a hike like this is actually a very nice way to seek recreation prior to three days of being continuously on call. Nature is actually quite beautiful upon the Bergen mountains. It was, however, a rather frozen landscape that met me in the mountains on this particular day. It was still beautiful, but it was beautiful inn a different way. I climbed Mount Ulriken as I've done on multiple occasions, and then from the west peak of Ulriken, I went south east, to a cabin called Turnerhytten

Across Mount Ulriken, Mount Rundemanen and Mount Blåmanen

Date:
08.11.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
6:43h
Distance:
23.1km

I've been working in the city of Bergen since September 2013, but I have not yet moved to Bergen. I usually go home (by plane) for the weekends unless I'm on call at the hospital where I'm working. During this particular week, however, my wife had come to Bergen to visit me instead, and we were therefore both in Bergen throughout the weekend. On Sunday I went for this 23 km long workout, where I climbed Mount Ulriken, and then followed a trail around the huge plateau that Ulriken is a part of, circumventing the valleys Isdalen, Hardbakkedalen and Våkendalen [The Norwegian word "dal" means valley]. The trail follows a mountain ridge that people in Bergen call Vidden . Finally, the trail takes you down into the pass that connects the valley of Våkendalen with the valley of Jordalen

Another Hike to Mount Ulriken

Date:
07.11.2015
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:55h
Distance:
4.5km

I've been working in the city of Bergen since 2013. I usually go home for the weekends, unless I'm on call. On this particular weekend I remained in Bergen, however, and so I decided to climb Mount Ulriken again to get some recreation after a busy week at work. There is a rather steep path through the forest beneath the cable car, which I followed up the mountain side. From about 400 m.a.m.s.l. there's suddenly no more forest, but the path continues up the mountain side, and then follows a little mountain ridge till you're almost on top of the mountain. The last 50 elevation meters before you reach the end station of the cable car is again a bit steep, but not in a manner that will cause any trouble for you if you're just a little bit experienced with mountain trekking. For the descent I followed >>>

Til Båten og Trolltind fra Flate

Date:
31.10.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:46h
Distance:
16.2km

Etter å ha besteget Remmemstind et par ganger denne høsten, hadde jeg fått lyst til å prøve meg på Trolltind og Ytstetind. [Navnet på førstnevnte varierer mellom ulike kart og alt etter hvem du spør, noen kaller den Brustind, mens andre kaller den Trolltind]. Jeg kjørte hjemmefra til Flatebygda innerst i Flatevågen, og tråklet meg frem mellom gardene på jakt etter en setervei jeg hadde sett på kartet. Det viste seg lettere å finne fram enn jeg hadde regnet med: Et skilt på en stolpe viste veg. Jeg fulgte denne skiltanvisningen over et gårdstun og rundt en bygning. Bak denne var en bom hvor man måtte betale 20,- kr. for å slippe forbi, og 100 meter forbi denne kom jeg til en stor åpen parkeringsplass; jeg går ut fra at bompengene er for å finansiere eller nedbetale denne. >>>

Remmemstinden - opp nordøstryggen og ned Brastadryggen

Date:
24.10.2015
Characteristic:
Alpine trip
Duration:
4:39h
Distance:
12.2km

Dette var en tur jeg var nødt til å ta, fordi tanken på den var blitt til en besettelse inne i hodet mitt. Jeg og eldstesønnen hadde gått oppover Heia og et godt stykke oppover nordøsteggen på Remmemstind tidligere på året en gang. Da gav vi oss på det, for det var i bratteste laget. Imidlertid klarte jeg aldri helt å gi slipp på tanken på nå toppen via denne ruta, og denne helgen var jeg tilbake. Jeg var nå begynnt å bli såpass kjent i området, at jeg tok stien direkte fra Hellandseter opp mot Heia. Det som lokalt kalles Heia, er ikke et eget fjell, men bare en slags forlengelse av Remmemstinds nordøst-rygg nedover mot Hellandseter og Remmemseter. Det stikker frem et par knauser på denne ryggen, men ingen av dem har primærfaktor på mer enn en meter eller så, og derfor >>>
