A short trek to Mount Myklebusthornet on Ellingsøy Island

Date:
25.04.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:40h
Distance:
5.2km

I went for a mountain trek with my oldest son this day to the island called Ellingsøya . The island has a mountain ridge in east-west direction, which stretches along most of the island. The ridge is usually just reffered to as Ellingsøyfjellet [i.e. "the Ellingsøy mountain"], but it has several peaks along its course, called Vikenakken, Sperrenakken and Myklebusthornet, among which Myklebusthornet is the highest. We parked at the parking spot of a local football field on the north side of the island (Nes Stadion). The climb to Myklebusthornet from this spot is about 2,6 km, making the trip 5,2 km including the decent back to the parking spot. The peak is 329 meters above mean sea level, about 300 meters above the altitude at which we parked the car. The peak is located just above >>>

Hiking to Mount Ulriken in Bergen

Date:
20.04.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
6.2km

This afternoon I had a nice trip on mount Ulriken in Bergen in wonderful sunshine. The nature's just beautiful at spring time, and as its getting gradually warmer at this time of the year, I actually had a haircut before I started hiking. For the mountain climb I used a trail that runs more or less along the cable car (or actually beneath it). To have some variation, however, I chose a different, and somewhat longer route for the descent. The descent path kind of encircles part of the mountain plateau which Ulriken is a part of, and then you descend from the plateau at a spot where the altitude is a bit lower. This longer path takes you to a number of small mountain lakes or ponds, in some of which you're allowed to have a bath i you so desire. It was still just April, however, and therefore >>>

Kveldstur til Ulriken

Date:
29.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Distance:
5.0km

Jeg arbeider i Bergen, og leier en pendlerbolig i Haukelandsbakken, så jeg går ofte tur opp på Ulriken og ned igjen. Som oftest har jeg valgt traséen gjennom skogen under Ulriksbanen på vei opp, så også denne dagen. Halvveis oppe tok jeg Bergen-by-night-bildet ovenfor. Jeg fortsatte opp til toppen (med toppen mener jeg her vest-toppen på 607 m.o.h.).

Til Myklebusthornet på Ellingsøya med Dag

Date:
11.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk

Det var min sønn Dag som denne dagen spurte om jeg ville være med ham opp på Myklebusthornet på Ellingsøya, og jeg takket ja til det. Han hadde vært der oppe flere ganger før, og var godt kjent. Vi parkerte ved skolen/idrettshallen på Vik, og fulgte skogsveien derfra oppover til vi kom opp på ryggen mellom Vikanakken og Sperrenakken . Omtrent akkurat oppe på vannskillet tok vi av fra veien, og fulgte en sti vestover mot Sperrenakken [320 m.o.h.] og Myklebusthornet [329 m.o.h.]. Stien vestover er grei å følge. Vi passerte først Kleiva [214 m.o.h.], og kom så til Sperrenakken [320 m.o.h.], som her på Peakbook går under betegnelsen Myklebusthornet Østre. Like vest for Sperrenakken er det en litt bratt skrent som man må ta seg ned, men som er helt grei så lenge det ikke er vått >>>

On Mount Ulriken with my Son Dag

Date:
15.04.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk

I had been working at the university hospital in Bergen since september 2013, and now my oldest son Dag was visiting me in Bergen; and so in the afternoon we decided to hike up to the summit of Mount Ulriken. The mountain has a cable car that you may use to get up there, but our intention with the ascent was to get a workout, and so we abandoned the cable car, and started to climb along a trail just beneath were the cable car goes. The first part of our trail goes through forest, but as you approach the top of the mountain, the trees become more scarce, and all of a sudden it is gone. On Mount Ulriken, what seems to be the top of the mountain as you're climbing, isn't actually the summit of the mountain; it's just a knoll or a ridge a little bit west of the summit. The real top of the mountain >>>
