Bjedlastølen from Åsen to Bjella
- Date:
- 31.07.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:01h
- Distance:
- 4.2km
Short hike from Åsen p-plass to Bjella via Bjedlastølen with the main objective of looking for blueberries and cloudberries. In the end, the former was much more successful than the latter. Marked and easy to follow trails.
Cycling: Dalavatnet and Anestølen

- Bike trip - road
- Duration:
- 2:34h
- Distance:
- 23.1km
Cycling trip along Dalavatnet starting from Hollekvebrui p-lomme and going all the way to Anestølen before returning. Most of the trip was on a paved road with very little traffic before a gravel road took over for the last stretch in to Anestølen. Overall the paved road was of good quality, however one should pay attention as there are areas where frost heaving has damaged the pavement. I of course managed to hit one of these tiny holes at a time when I was paying more attention to the views than the road, and in some strange way managed to tumble over the handle bars of my bike and hitting the asphalt. Luckily my speed was very low and I got way with only minor bruises and could continue cycling, but now paying at least slightly more attention to the road. In summary, an excellent trip with spectacular views along the >>>
Barsnesfjorden

- Characteristic:
- Hike
- Duration:
- 0:46h
- Distance:
- 3.7km
Another short walk along Barsnesfjorden. (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)
Austerdalsbreen from Tungestølen
- Date:
- 26.07.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:49h
- Distance:
- 11.7km
The initial plan of cycling along Veitastrondsvatnet was at the last minute replaced by instead driving to Tungestølen which meant that the trip could more easily be extended with a hike up to Austerdalsbreen . Note that the road to Veitastrond from Hafslo passes through several tunnels, varying in standard from relatively new to old and narrow without any lighting. When cycling it is however possible to avoid all but a very short one by using the cycling paths, i.e. the old road. After enjoying the nice views along Veitastrondsvatnet, and paying the 70 kr toll at Høgebru bom (after finally managing to get a decent 4G connection allowing us to pay via VIPPS), we arrived at the parking lot next to Tungestølen . From here we continued on foot along the trail to Austerdalsbreen . The trail was easy to follow, with wooden bridges when needed, and we soon arrived at the Slingsby-monumentet . Sadly >>>
Børesteinen from Berge
- Date:
- 25.07.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 3:13h
- Distance:
- 5.1km
Based on a tip from my sister, we drove from Sogndal to Luster for a hike up to Børesteinen . A location that promised spectacular views. Upon arriving at Luster, we continued up the narrow and steep private gravel road to Berge, something we would not have done had we not known about the small private parking lot up there with room for maybe 4-5 cars. Here we happily paid the 50 kr parking fee via VIPPS and started on the marked trail to Børesteinen. Note that if you do not feel like taking a chance on the private road up to Berge, there is also parking down by the main road with a marked trail up to Berge. But this of course adds another 370 vertical meters to the hike. The trail from Berge was steep but of good quality and easy to follow. There were also several less steep sections, most notably when the trail made a detour >>>

Local evening hike. Note: The GPS track had to be recreated from Garpetjern to Lønborg, hence the information regarding the speed is not correct.
Vardafjellet from Svortland
- Date:
- 21.07.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 0:55h
- Distance:
- 2.9km
After the visits of Siggjo and Furufjellet , I cycled to Svortland where I easily located the gravel road referred to as "Lysløypa til Fet", which I then proceeded to follow, still on the bike, to the marked trailhead for Vardafjellet . Here I left the bike and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was easy to follow, with small wooden bridges across the wet areas and signs showing the way. I therefore quickly arrived at the summit, which provided excellent panoramic views, especially for such a modest peak of only 164 meters above sea level. From the summit I returned along the same route for the bike ride back to Rubbestadneset and the boat home to Bergen.
