Sunday hike along a trail I discovered during last weekend's hike from Flaktveit to Selvik . Overall a positive experience with great views along the way.

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:20h
Distance:
7.4km

Short Saturday hike in light snow and rain exploring the area on the eastern side of Mathopsvågen. Overall a nice hike along decent trails with great views, although the off-trail ascent of Botnahaugen can be skipped without missing anything. Ørnahaugen was on the other hand a positive surprise.

Oppstemten and Landåseggen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:11h
Distance:
6.2km

Short hike after work to catch the sunset at Ulriken. Lots of ice that made snow chains mandatory, especially for the final section of Oppstemten and for most of the following descent along Landåseggen, which most likely explains the unusually low number of other hikers on this sunny afternoon.

Flaktveit to Selvik via Nukane

Date:
01.02.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:07h
Distance:
6.3km

A return to Flaktveit to try an alternative route to Nukane followed by a (for me) new descent to Selvik. All in all a nice short hike along unmarked but still overall easy to follow trails. The only challenge being the occasional ice that could thankfully easily be avoided. See also my earlier hike to Storsåta .

Nipetjørna, Gravdalsfjellet and Olsokfjellet

Date:
31.01.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:24h
Distance:
7.0km

After an extended period of cold weather I decided to use the Saturday to visit the ruins of the cabin Dovre , located on a small island in Nipetjørna. Given that I would basically be passing by Endre 's apartment on way, I invited him to come along. As expected, there was a thick white ice covering the lake and we could therefore easily walk across to the island. Of the cabin there were only limited traces after it apparently burned down in 1977. With the main objective out of the way we continued via Gravdalsfjellet , Damsgårdsfjellet and Olsokfjellet before returning to Vestlundveien. Just as we were about to part ways, I noticed the small hill St. Hanshaugen which looked like it ought to be included on the Alle topper i Bergen list and at the summit we even found a small trig bolt. Takk for turen, Endre!

Stovegolvet from Grov

Date:
24.01.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:02h
Distance:
17.8km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent that can potentially be dangerous under certain winter conditions. Read the report carefully. A return to Stord to ascend Stovegolvet and visit the DNT cabin with the same name . After taking the bus (and ferry) to Stord I had planned to get off at Grov, however the bus driver failed to notice that I had pressed the stop button and I ended up with an extra kilometer warm up along Grovavegen before arriving at my intended starting point. I began by following the same route southwest to Lundsetervegen as for my trip to Steingilshøgda, Klovfjellet and Budalsfjellet and continued along the paved road to the large parking lot at Lundseter where I easily located the marked trailhead. From the trailhead I followed the marked trail northwest before turning east and beginning the steep ascent towards the summit. It quickly became apparent that this part of the ascent would be much more challenging >>>
