Stendafjellet and Barkehelleren

Date:
02.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:57h
Distance:
7.4km

On a gray Sunday, and after a full day of hiking in Masfjorden the day before, I decided on a short hike to yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started by taking the bus to Lagunen from where I followed the roads up to Stendafjellet . Here I made a short revisit of the summit before returning to the gravel road and following it south and then north to Kandalskaret. Here I came across a trail marked with orange paint that led me almost all the way to summit of Barkehelleren , only requiring a minor detour. The summit could have provided decent views but these were largely ruined by the numerous overhanging powerlines. I therefore did not stay long before returning to the trail and heading north for a brief visit of Nubben, just in case it at some point is also added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. Nubben was however even less interesting than Barkehelleren. >>>

Klettane, again...

Distance:
2.7km

After our long hike to Storenova, Gulbrekkefjellet and Hisbotsnuken , Endre and I drove the short distance east to Kvamdalsvanet to take care of some unfinished business. It turned out that we at our previous visit of Klettane and not in fact visited the highest point, as this had since been moved from the western hill where the trig marker is located to a slightly higher hill around 150 meters to the east. As the day was darkening we therefore once more began the ascent up the tractor road to the wet area northeast of Klettane, but where we last time had proceeded off-trail to the summit, we now discovered a marked trail that greatly simplified the ascent. Partly due to the limited light we managed to lose the marked trail before reaching the summit but found it again towards the end. It was now almost dark but we could enjoy the end of the sunset from the summit before >>>

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:26h
Distance:
18.6km

Note: This hike includes several steep off-trail ascents and descents in rough terrain that may not be to everyone's liking. Please read the report carefully. A return to Masfjorden with Endre and a plan for a roundtrip including ascents of Storanova , Gulbrekkefjellet and Hisbotsnuken . We ended up driving a bit later than planned from Bergen but thankfully still made the ferry at Masfjordnes, although with less than two minutes to spare. After the short drive from Duesund to Sleire we parked outside Sleire skulemuseum and walked the short distance west to the start of the gravel road heading northwest towards Hatleliåsen. This road later turned into a tractor road that we followed all the way to the top of the pass west of Storenova. Here we, to our surprise, found a marked trail that led us all the way to the large summit cairn. Inspired by an external trip report by Arnt Flatmo , we >>>

Ørnatua

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:39h
Distance:
2.3km

A short and windy Sunday hike before the forecasted rain and snow showers. The objective was to visit Ørnatua , yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started from the last bus stop at Flaktveit and from there headed south towards Kråvatnet. When the roads ended I continued on an initially wet trail that later connected with a tractor road that took me to just west of Ørnatua. After a short and steep off-trail ascent I easily got quite close to the highest point. The summit area was however completely covered by juniper bushes and thus locating the exact summit was more difficult. I returned the same way and then headed for the bus stop at Breimyra to conclude the short hike.

Furelegene and Eikåsen

Characteristic:

Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
8.2km

After the short hike to Haukeberget I took the bus from Åsane terminal to the start of Almåsvegen which I then proceeded to follow west towards Almåsgården. My initial plan had been to ascend Furelegene from the trail west of the summit, but in the end I instead simply headed off-trail in the direction of the summit from the south, starting from just before the road crossed a small river. The remaining ascent was overall straightforward but did require some minor fighting with the many bushes doing their best to block the way. From the summit of Furelegene, I continued north to connect with trails indicated on the map, however as I did not really find any trails, I soon pretty much made my own way east to the main road. The main road was then followed south to Eikåstunnelen where I started my ascent of Eikåsen , first along a gravel >>>

A short hike on a very windy Saturday for a visit of Haukeberget . After the walk up from Tertneskrysset, I located an unmarked trail at the northeastern corner of the football field at Åstveit that took me all the way to the summit. I continued northeast along a weaker trail to connect with the paved road and then followed various roads and trails to Åsane terminal where I took a short bus ride to the start of Almåsvegen for a hike to Furelegene and Eikåsen .
