Short hike after work showing one of my colleagues the trail up Stoltzekleiven . I let my colleague decide the tempo and we made it to the top in 23 minutes and 30 seconds. After a short detour to the summit of Sandviksfjellet we followed the gravel road down to the bus stop at Gamle Bergen.

Kaland to Sandven via Meåsen

Date:
16.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:13h
Distance:
18.9km

Sunday hike with the main objective of visiting Meåsen , yet another minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list . In order to extend an otherwise very short trip, and due to there being no buses to Frotveit during the weekend, I started from the bus stop at Kaland and from there followed the paved road up to the large parking lot at Frotveit . Thanks to Kjell's recent trip report , I skipped the direct ascent and instead followed the gravel road to southeast of the summit and easily ascended from there. After returning to the parking lot, my initial plan had been to simply follow the same route back to Kaland, but I now concluded that this would be a waste of a very nice day and instead ended up following various gravel roads slightly further west. In fact, except for minor off-trail detours to Midtfjellet and Sauatona, I was on nice gravel roads all the way to Nedre Sandven, from >>>

Jomfruhaugen and Våganeset

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:21h
Distance:
5.1km

Short hike on a wet Saturday to visit a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Jomfruhaugen . I started from the bus stop at Åstveit and from there followed the roads west towards the small hill. Given that Kjell's trip report indicated that the area was private, I went for a more direct off-trail ascent from the north. After a quick visit of the highest point, I headed northwest, first along the gravel path and then a short off-trail descent to reconnect with the road. To extend an otherwise very short hike, I also included a visit of Våganeset before returning to the bus stop at Åstveit.

Trollhaugen from Hausdal snuplass

Date:
14.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:41h
Distance:
9.9km

By postponing my Friday lunch break and starting the weekend early, I managed to squeeze in a short hike to at least enjoy the tail end of a very nice day. I started my hike from the final bus stop in Hausdalen and pretty much followed the same route as Kjell to the top of Trollhaugen . This included first walking northeast along the gravel road and then turning southwest towards the summit via the private cabin Brekkestøl. From the cabin there was initially a weak trail but it soon disappeared and I was left with finding my own way. This was however straightforward and it did not take long before I arrived at the summit. Here I had my very late lunch break next to the cairn before turning back and following more or less the same route back to the bus stop. To conclude, a hike to Trollhaugen can definitely be recommended. Clearly >>>

Hike to Ulriken after work with some of my colleagues. After getting to the top of Oppstemten we followed the newly marked route to the real summit of Ulriken and the recently rebuilt cairn, before descending via Stormfuglen .

Gullbotn to Takvam via Steinfjellet, Ramfjellet and Onuken

Date:
09.03.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:51h
Distance:
19.2km

Ever since turning back just below the summit of Steinfjellet last summer , I knew that I one day had to return to complete the job. This time I arrived by bus from Bergen and started by following the trails up to where Gullbotn is indicated on the map. Last time we had tried to ascend from the east, so this time I therefore ascended further south before later turning north towards the highest point. Much easier and the summit was reached without any real challenges. From Steinfjellet I continued north to Ramfjellet . Getting there was overall straightforward, but I did lose around 230 vertical meters in the process. After a quick lunch break north of the summit, with better views than from the summit itself, I turned back and headed south for Romslabotn. Just before starting the ascent to Romslabotsriden, I came across five deer, where two of them even took the time >>>
