Vesoldo and Slåttenuten - from Tørvik to Norheimsund
- Date:
- 25.09.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 6:31h
- Distance:
- 22.4km
I started by taking the bus to Tørvik and getting off at the bus stop called "Heradstveit kryss". At the initial crossroads there were hiking signs pointing in both directions. I went for the southern option, passing through Tørvik and Tveiten, before following a toll road to the parking lot at Perslå . I briefly considered heading southwest to Tveitestølen to ascend Tørvikenuten from the south. But while there was a trail indicated on the map, the hiking information sign at Perslå did not mention this option at all. Not wanting to risk spending most of the ascent searching for a potentially weak trail, I instead went for the safe option and followed the marked trail via Osadal. The tractor road continued all the way to Finnhellersvatnet, though it looked more like a trail than a road towards the end. From >>>

- Bike trip - road
- Duration:

- Distance:
- 32.2km
Short bike trip with the main objective of visiting Storahugen , yet another new minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. Not much to say about this one. Limited views, but at least it can be easily accessed via a trail from the north. And getting to the trailhead by bike was straightforward, which overall made for a more interesting trip. When at the summit I also noticed that there are plenty of other small named hills in the area. So I have a feeling I'll be coming back when more of these are added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. But given that I had not in advanced looked into whether any of these could be easily accessed or not, this would have to wait.
Vedasnerta and Nessteinen from Nes/Mundheimsvegen
- Date:
- 18.09.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 6:17h
- Distance:
- 18.9km
Since my trip to Vågenipen and Lukefjellet two weeks earlier , I had wanted to get a closer look at Vedasnerta and Nessteinen on the opposite side of Mundheimsdalen, as they both looked quite dramatic from a distance. When researching how to best visit both summits, I came across a route description at ut.no that looked very promising as it indicated a marked trail all the way to the summit of Nessteinen: https://ut.no/turforslag/119653/nessteinen . The suggestion did not mention Vedasnerta at all, but I assumed that the short off-trail ascent from Vatnadalsvatnet (in the valley between Nessteinen and Vedasnerta) would not be too difficult. I started by taking the bus from Bergen to Mundheim. Here I switched to a connecting bus heading for Norheimsund, which I only stayed on for two stops before getting off at the bus stop called Teigland right next to the start of the tractor road indicated on the route at >>>

- Date:
- 12.09.2021
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 2:50h
- Distance:
- 7.4km
After our failure at obtaining any views at all from Matrenipa , me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) did not give up, got back in the car, and drove to the valley in between Heinakken and Kjerringefjellet . Here we found parking on the side of the road, right next to the marked trailhead for Heinakken, and proceeded to follow the marked trail (quite wet at times, but otherwise easy to follow) all the way to the large cairn south of the summit, were we finally escaped the fog and were rewarded by excellent panoramic views across Masfjorden. From the large cairn we shortly retraced out steps before making the final ascent to the summit of Heinakken from the southeast. No trails to the summit, but reaching it did not provide any difficulties. Great views from the summit as well, but if visiting Heinakken it is clearly recommended to also make the short detour >>>
Matrenipa

- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:

- Distance:
- 3.9km
On the drive home to Bergen from our day of wet hikes with no views in Masfjorden (see Kyrkjehovda , Vardegga from Fossåskaret , Snaueggi - an unplanned roundtrip and Ølveshovda ) me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) could not help but note the excellent weather forecasts for the next day, i.e. warm and sunny, and thus agreed to have another joint hike, with the hope that maybe we could actually see something from one of the summits this time around. We decided on three summits in Masfjorden and met up the next day for the drive to Matre and the parking lot west of Matrenipa . On the drive there we however could not help but notice that, except for it not raining, the weather looked very similar to the day before with the now familiar fog hiding most of the mountain tops. Hopefully that today it would at least partly clear up we started on the marked trail to Matrenipa. The trail was very wet but overall easy to follow and we >>>
