Bergen: Jubileumsstien (Stage 3 and 4)

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:52h
Distance:
10.1km

Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes the third and fourth stages: Valle to Søylen. Stage 3: Valle to Myrdalsvatnet After yesterday's overall disappointing start to Jubileumsstien , I was hoping that Stage 3 and 4 would pick up the quality. And the start from the bus stop at Valle was indeed rather interesting, following the very steep Osvegen. I would not want to drive here in the winter! I did not stay on the steep road for long though, and shortly followed the marked trail northeast, still pretty steep until flattening out when getting closer to the summit of Birkelandsfjellet . Note that the trail does not pass by the summit itself, but it can easily be reached by a >>>

Jubileumsstien With the weather being too unstable for proper mountain hiking, I decided to instead have a go at Jubileumsstien . This is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. I was only doing the two first stages today though, i.e. from Krokeide to Valle. Stage 1: Krokeide to Fana Kulturpark I started by taking the bus to Krokeide and following the smaller roads east. The trailhead was marked by a small sign, but the larger information sign was not found until the real trailhead at Austrefjorden. Not really sure what I was expecting with respect to trail quality, but I was definitely negatively surprised for the first stage. Very wet and with trail markers being >>>

Roundtrip: Frøland to Austre Stemmefjellsnakken (and more)

Date:
04.07.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
9:11h
Distance:
28.0km

I started by taking the bus to Frøland and from there walking up the road to Holmane parkering , from where I followed the tractor road (north and then) south. My plan had been to follow the tractor road until it ended, but when coming across a red arrow on the west side of the road just before the road was about to end, I took a chance that perhaps this would provide a trail that could take me to Burlifjellet and left the road behind. The weakness of the trail should have been a hint though, and the trail soon disappeared completely. And although it seemed to reappear from time to time, I'm guessing these were just animal tracks. I therefore gave up on the trail and instead started to make my own way in the direction of Burlifjellet, deciding to include a visit of Ullandsfjellet on the way. Ullandsfjellet was reached without any real >>>
