Fjellveien, Fløyen, Rundemanen and Kvitebjørnen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:42h
Distance:
20.0km

Sunday hike in familiar terrain that I realized I had not visited in a long time. The weather ranged from warm sunshine to cold wind and rain. The latter probably explains why I only met one other hiker between Rundemanen Vest and Munkebotsvatnet. Lots of people up until that point though.

Hike
Duration:
1:15h
Distance:
6.0km

On an overall wet and windy Saturday I found a late afternoon longer opening between the rain showers and decided to make a visit of the old train station at Romslo. According to Wikipedia the station was in use until 1991 and had clearly seen better days.

Folgefonna to Jondal via Storafjellet and Grytingsfjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:58h
Distance:
23.8km

I started my journey by taking the bus to Norheimsund, the passenger ferry to Herand and finally a second bus via Jondal up to Folgefonna Skisenter . From the parking lot at the ski center I returned along the paved road down to Hestadalen p-plass . Here I continued on a trail marked with red T's towards Breidsete before shortly starting my off-trail ascent to Storafjellet . Or so I thought. Very quickly I however came across another trail marked with small cairns that led me all the way to the summit, hence it ought to be possible to stay on a trail all the way from the paved road. After a short break at the summit to take in the excellent views, I continued northwest to Grytingsfjellet . No trails or cairns marking the way here as far as I could tell. Lots of minor ups and downs and one or two steeper sections that had to be carefully navigated, but with one exception, >>>
