Åsheimveten from Åsheim

Date:
16.04.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:44h
Distance:
3.5km

After our visit of Kossdalssvingane we decided to add a short bonus hike to Åsheimveten before returning to Bergen. We first drove the short distance from Hosanger Montessoriskule up to Åsheimveten p-plass , thus gaining around 200 meters vertical elevation for free. After paying the 20 kr parking fee via Vipps, we followed a very nice trail all the way to the summit, which, as for my previous visit back in 2018 , provided excellent panoramic views. From the summit we returned along the same route back to the car, and thus concluded a great day of hiking at Osterøy!

Kossdalssvingane

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:16h
Distance:
8.1km

A return to Osterøy for a visit of Kossdalssvingane . We parked outside Hosanger Montessoriskule and started on the indicated roundtrip around Holevatnet before heading southeast along Kossdalsvatnet to arrive at the bottom of the very impressive Kossdalssvingane. After ascending to the top of the 17 steep hairpin turns we continued southeast to the upper parking lot before returning the same way, however this time following the gravel road on the west side of Holevatnet and completing our roundtrip. In summary, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended!

Perhaps an ever so slight improvement. At least the short walk across Hellen festning was not as though as the day before. It was still more than far enough though.

Halfway through my Saturday hike in Sveio , it became clear that something was just not right. I did not have the normal energy level and even this relatively short hike was much harder than it ought to be. The flu-like symptoms increased during the evening and by the Sunday morning there was no doubt: this Easter holiday would not turn out as planed... Days of skiing in Sogndal were instead replaced by long days on the couch interspersed with nights of little to no quality sleep. The complete loss of smell and taste did not help either. Only after 4.5 days did I managed to muster enough energy to just barely push myself across Hellen festning.
