Hodlekve and Kollsetestølen

Date:
09.04.2022
Characteristic:
Cross-country skiing
Duration:
2:20h
Distance:
10.5km

Skiing the entire 10 km track at Hodlekve Skisenter on a rather gray day during an almost constant snow shower. We also made a short detour to the DNT cabin called Kollsetestølen , which today was even more hidden than usual underneath lots of snow.

Borgafjellet and Møsnuken

Date:
05.04.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:15h
Distance:
15.7km

When a meeting at Solstrand ended after a late lunch, I had originally planned to take the ferry across the fjord to go hiking in Fusa. However, after waking up to a snow-covered Solstrand, it was clear that my hike would take significantly longer than planned and I would be at risk of not catching the all-important bus back to Bergen. I therefore decided to play it safe and instead do a revisit of Borgafjellet and Møsnuken . At least this would allow me to visit the new dagsturhytte at Borgafjellet, in addition to some other minor summits I had not previously visited. When the rest of my colleagues embarked on the bus back to Bergen, I began my hike from Solstrand and soon arrived at the steep ascent to Borgafjellet. Little to no snow at the start, but it gradually increased as I got closer to the summit, with perhaps a couple of centimeters >>>

Moldaneset and Moldaåsen from Solstrand

Date:
04.04.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:09h
Distance:
9.6km

At the first return to Solstrand after the pandemic, I used the extended break before dinner to explore Moldaneset and Moldaåsen . Roads and trails were followed for the entire hike, except for the short off-trail detour to the summit of Moldaåsen. The first part of the hike even had a marked trail, although I misunderstood the signs and made an unnecessary detour instead of heading directly to the tip of Moldaneset. On my way to Moldaåsen, I also visited Salbuneset/Salbuvika (still following a trail), mainly to get at least some views, as I knew that these would be limited from the summit. This was indeed also the case, and while the summit could be reached without any issues, it is probably not a location that most hikers will feel the need to visit. I also went to the highest point at Gråberget (on the other side >>>

Steinsdalsfossen from Norheimsund

Date:
02.04.2022
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:45h
Distance:
3.1km

After my short hike to Åsen , I returned by bus to Norheimsund, where I had almost an hour to kill before the next bus to Bergen. I therefore decided to pay Steinsdalsfossen a visit. A location I had not visited since I was a child. Sadly, the waterfall was not yet officially opened for the summer, and I could not do the unique walk behind the waterfall. But at least I more or less had the waterfall to myself, which is rarely the case during the summer. After a short lunch break, the bus arrived to take me back to Bergen.

Åsen from Fonnaland/Vikøyvegen

Date:
02.04.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:09h
Distance:
5.6km

A short hike to the summit of Åsen starting from the bus stop at the main road and heading up the paved side road to Øvre Aksnes. After passing the final house (and a turkey farm, see elbow (Vegard Magnussen) 's trip report as I did not see any turkeys myself), I continued on a tractor road that took me almost all the way to the summit. Reaching the summit was thus straightforward and only required a short off-trail section (less than 150 meters). Still some snow on the tractor road and at the summit area, but it was packed hard and I could easily walk on top of it. No clear highest point and very limited views, hence I did not stay long before returning along the same route. Overall, not the most interesting summit, but the excellent views from Øvre Aksnes more than made up for it.
