When Endre asked if I wanted to spend the upcoming Saturday hiking in Eidfjord, I of course immediately said yes and we decided on the area between Måbødalen and Simdalen as our target area, as it contained up to five peaks that neither of us had yet visited. Endre therefore picked me up at my place shortly after 08:00 on the Saturday morning and we started our drive to Eidfjord in an unusually dense fog that we could not escape until beginning the ascent up Måbødalen. We parked at the large parking lot along Isdalsvegen and from there followed a trail through a cabin area before connecting with the marked trail to Simadal. Even though it was already late September, the weather was very warm and I soon had to make a stop to change into shorts, and the rest of the hike was carried out in just shorts and t-shirts for both of us.

Framnes to Vinje via Tverrfjellet/Fossanipa

Date:
14.09.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:24h
Distance:
17.1km

After taking the train from Bergen to Voss and the bus to Oppheim, I got off at Framnes at the southwestern end of Oppheimsvatnet. From there I headed north via Bidne to Svorto. The ascent followed a paved road that gradually turned into a rough tractor road and finally ended up as more of a muddy path. The map indicates a trail heading north/northwest from Svorto, but while I did find an unmarked trail, it was quite weak and I therefore lost it several times. By the time I got close to Såta the trail had completely disappeared and I was left with finding my own way. Såta provided great views and even had its own visitor register. From Såta I made my own way north to the main goal of the day: Tverrfjellet . No trails here as far as I could tell but the terrain was easy to navigate. I made a couple of minor >>>

Skjerjavasshovden from Beinhellervatnet (alternative route)

Date:
07.09.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:45h
Distance:
13.5km

Initially, I had other hiking plans this Saturday, but then Endre gave me an offer I simply could not refuse: a ride to Norddalen such that I could visit Skjerjavasshovden . He had already been to Skjerjavasshovden but was going to drive further up Norddalen and kayak across Skjerjavatnet to ascend Trollahorgi and Belaskarhorgi . I was picked up at my place around nine for the drive to Eksingedalen. A trip that turned out a bit longer than necessary as shortly after passing Evanger we realized that we were running low on gas. To be on the safe side we therefore turned back and made an extended detour to Voss to fill the tank. Rather annoying given the numerous gas stations we had passed on our way from Bergen... When finally arriving in Norddalen, Endre dropped me off next to Beinhellervatnet before he continued north to the parking lot at the northeastern end of Skjerjavatnet . I started my >>>
