Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:45h
Distance:
22.8km

For the second weekend in a row , Endre picked me up at my place in Lønborg shortly after 07:00 for a drive to Voss. This time we however continued northeast to Stalheim and Brekkedalen. Along the way we saw lots of traces of Amy - the storm that had passed over Hordaland the night before, and even had to avoid a wire stretched halfway across the road in order to get to Stalheim Hotel, but thankfully the trees that had blocked the road had already been removed. After paying the 50 kr toll at the start of Brekkedalsvegen we drove up to Tverraldskaret. Here we parked the car next to the road and then followed the gravel road back down to Kinnarbakken and onwards to Vikset. From Vikset we followed an unmarked, and at times quite weak (we lost it a couple of times), trail up to Viksetskaret. Here we turned west and headed off-trail to the summit of Solheimsfjellet , which provided excellent >>>

Herdabreida and Kistenuten from Øyaset

Date:
27.09.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:09h
Distance:
11.8km

After our ascent of Eggjane , we drove the short distance southeast to Øyaset where we found parking next to the road. Note that the use of the gravel road from Rong to Øyaset requires you to pay a fee of 50 kr. This can be paid by Vipps, however there was no cell phone reception at the start of the gavel road nor at Øyaset, and we therefore did not manage to pay until halfway up the first ascent. Our initial plan had been to ascend off-trail on the westside of Kaldåni, but after easily crossing the small river from Furevatnet we got a better look at the terrain and decided to abandon that idea. Briefly we considered following the dry Kaldåni but quickly gave up on that idea as well and instead started on a trail east of it. This turned out to be a very good choice as this trail would take us all the way to the top of the steep gorge made by the river >>>

Eggjane via Kulset

Date:
27.09.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:40h
Distance:
11.7km

Endre picked me up at my place shortly after 07:00 and together we drove to Voss and Bordalen where we parked at Nyestølen p-plass . The original plan had been to continue all the way to Kulset, but due to a locked gate at the start of the gravel road , we had to do the extra 200 vertical meters on foot. This was however straightforward and it did not take long before we could begin on the marked trail to Horgaholet. Here we left the trail and continued off-trail to the top of Eggjane . Excellent panoramic views from the summit, however a strong cold wind resulted in short stay before returning the same way. In summary, a nice hike, largely along a marked trail, which can be highly recommended. Back in the car, we drove the short distance southeast to Øyaset to ascend Herdabreida and Kistenuten .

Kampestølsrusta, Giskanuten and Nordvest for Jonåsen

Date:
20.09.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:15h
Distance:
11.1km

After ascending Holmedalsfjellet , Petter and I drove the short distance north to Tveitedalen p-plass . Here we left the car behind and continued on a gravel road on the east side of Bakkastølsvatnet. After crossing a bridge north of the lake we then made our way off-trail towards the summit of Kampestølsrusta , following deer tracks whenever these seem to head in the wanted direction. Except for one steepish section that required a bit of easy route-finding, we had no real challenges getting up to the ridge which we then proceeded to follow via several false summits to arrive at the highest point. We did not stay long before descending the same way and then followed a road used for skiing that took us to the bridge on the west side of Bakkastølsvatnet. Petter than returned to the car, while I started my off-trail ascent to Giskanuten , a summit he had already visited >>>
