Høgehøyen

Distance:
3.1km

Short evening hike to visit a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Høgehøyen at Flaktveit. The summit was easily accessible via a trail that ran the entire length of the ridge and there were even surprisingly good views from the highest point. I started from the northwest and continued southeast after visiting Høgehøyen and also included a visit of the unnamed higher 168 hill before connecting with the road and following it back north to Flaktveitsvingene. Overall, an easier hike than expected due to the paths and with decent views along the way as well.

On my way from Trondheim to Bergen , I woke up at Kystruten at 04:50 such that I would be ready to disembark when we arrived at Måløy at 05:45. As I was the only passenger leaving the boat at this location, I was led down to a smaller side exit. This made me feel a bit like I was part of 71 Grader Nord , although thankfully I could simply walk off the boat and not swim to the shore as the contestants sometimes have had to do. ;) It had been too early for breakfast to be served on the boat and with the shops not opening for at least another hour, I decided to have a shorter warm up and therefore first headed for Klettenhytta . This also allowed me to get used to my rather heavy backpack before starting the upcoming longer and steeper ascents. After crossing Måløybrua I located the marked trailhead for Klettenhytta and easily followed the relatively >>>

Varden i Kristiansund

Hike
Duration:
0:31h
Distance:
2.7km

After spending an extra night in Trondheim to get the time to visit Storheia , it was time to put into motion my unusual plan of how to return to Bergen. The first part was easy enough: check out of the hotel, walk the short distance north to Pir 1, and embark on Kystruten. Here I could enjoy the scenic views as I slowly made my way south. A bit too slowly for my taste, hence I could not resist the chance to get off the boat when we had a 1 hour stop in Kristiansund. Given the time constrains I settled on Varden i Kristiansund . From the boat I simply followed various streets up to the tower standing at the highest point, which provided an excellent 360 degrees view. Even better from the top of the tower itself. I returned the same way and got back on the boat around 15 minutes before it continued south to Molde. After a night on the boat, I was ready >>>

Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
9.6km

When a two-day meeting in Trondheim ended I stayed behind one more night such that I could include a short hike as well. The choice landed on Storheia and me and a colleague of mine took the bus from the city center to Skistua to begin our hike. It however did not take long before we heard thunder rolling in the distance and we decided to find shelter from the accompanying light rain east of Vintervatnet. But after concluding that the thunder was not getting any closer, we left the shelter and continued towards the summit. The light rain would come and go for the remainder of the hike with the occasional distant thunder but as we approached the highest point there was blue sky above us and even a bit of sunshine. After a couple of pictures we returned the same way and headed for the bus stop at Fjellseterveien, >>>

Blånipa from Krosstølen p-plass

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:32h
Distance:
10.2km

After ascending Sørskarfjellet , Endre and I drove north to Krosstølen p-plass and from there followed the marked trail to Blånipa . The markers were however not always the easiest to spot and we had to check with the GPS on multiple occasions to ensure that we were on the right track. As we got closer to the summit the route marked with blue paint also deviated quite a bit from the trail indicated on the map. The summit was still reached without any real difficulties and we could enjoy the excellent views, even though we saw very little of the promised sunshine. In any case, the freezing wind made for a short stop and we did not stay long before descending along the alternative trail heading southwest and then north from the summit. The marking of the descent trail was also rather inconsistent and without a GPS it would probably have been more difficult, >>>
