Høgafjellet from Osvatnet
- Date:
- 11.10.2018
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 7:30h
- Distance:
- 16.9km
On what would turn out as the warmest October day in Bergen history, me and a colleague of mine started out early in the direction of Osterøy and Høgafjellet . The parking lot at Osvatnet was easily located and so was the marked trailhead starting with a steep staircase directly behind the parking lot. Next, the trail crossed under the pipe, and the old steep discontinued stairs, coming down from Nedre Botnavatnet.
Shortly after, a second steep staircase headed up to the right, while the marked trail continued toward Kupelva. We decided to follow the red plastic markers, assuming these indicated the recommended route. This however turned out to be a mistake, and after almost reaching the river we ended up turning back and returning to the stairs. Apparently we were not the first hikers to make this mistake ( https://peakbook.org/tour/192269/Kvamsfjellet+Osterøy.html ), so perhaps a sign >>>

- Duration:

Nice afternoon weather for once, so I decided to walk home from work. Or at least in that direction. Making it to Sandvikstorget before taking the bus the rest of the way.

Ravnefjellet and Løvstakken
- Date:
- 06.10.2018
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 2:34h
- Distance:
- 9.0km
Started out as a pretty traditional hike up to Løvstakken from Melkeplassen via Ravnefjellet , but ended with a more unusual descent in order to include a visit of the trig marker on the way down to Solheim .
From the summit of Løvstakken the trail quality was relatively good, but this dropped significantly when the trail turned north and split off from the main trail that continued south and later east. Shortly after this I also lost the trail and instead headed straight for the trig marker.
On the ridge just to the west of the trig marker I however came across a weak trail that took me almost all the way to the trig marker itself, which provided nice views, but due to the low-quality trails this will probably be my only visit.
For the final descent I turned north along the trail across the ridge, which soon connected with a bigger, but rather wet, trail, >>>
Fusafjellet and Bogafjellet
- Date:
- 03.10.2018
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:35h
- Distance:
- 12.1km
When a two-day meeting at Solstrand ended just after lunch, I used the opportunity for a hike in the Fusa region. Started by taking the bus (and ferry) across Fusafjorden and the bus stop called Prestegardsmarka. Here the map indicated the start of a rather steep trail towards the summit of Fusafjellet , and from the bus stop the ascent indeed looked very steep.
After locating the unmarked trailhead I soon came across the first sign for Lusabrekko. A second smaller sign soon followed, and from there on the trail was marked with red paint. While the trail could be fairly easily followed, it quickly turned very steep, so much that it would have been very difficult, if not impossible, to ascend without the markers.
The trail gradually got less steep after the first kilometer and from there on it was straightforward >>>
Nunnåsfjellet and Kråkenipa (almost...)

Nunnåsfjellet
Weather forecast said rain for the whole weekend, except Friday afternoon. Hence I left work earlier than usual and headed for Lonevåg by bus. From Lonevåg I followed the road east until easily locating the marked trailhead for Nunnåsfjellet at Hatland.
The trail was easy to follow, although rather wet until it started climbing. Each fork was also clearly marked, and I was already considering alternative routes for my decent. I arrived at the antenna at Nunnåsfjellet without any problems, and was rewarded by excellent views toward Lonevåg and beyond.
Next, I made two attempts at fighting my way through the dense vegetation to the trig marker at Nunnåsfjellet. Before losing my motivation and instead continuing in the direction of the main goal of the day: Kråkenipa .
Kråkenipa
The first part was easy >>>

Setevarden and Vedafjellet
Started by taking the bus (or rather, bus, train and then bus again) to Gjerstad and the bus stop called Presttun. From there I followed the road and later trail in the direction of Storavatnet. This included passing through a couple of gates before crossing the river south of Gjerstadfossen. There was an information sign at Gjerstad, and after the initial confusion of which road to pick, it was straightforward to follow the marked trail (marked with yellow paint) all the way to Litlavatnet.
I did however still manage to make two unnecessary detours. The first shortly after crossing the bridge, where I missed the trail splitting left (east) and leaving the tractor road. This one was however quickly corrected. The second detour was a slightly more costly, and occurred >>>
