Garnes to Indre Arna via Ådnanipa

Date:
24.05.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:21h
Distance:
7.0km

A return to Arna for a revisit of Ådnanipa via a (for me) new route from Garnes. I had also considered continuing to Skåldalsfjellet , but the cold wind made this less appealing. Instead, I descended via a steep trail that on more than one occasion bordered on scrambling. Probably easier as an ascent route.

Svabergfjellet from Sollibotn

Date:
15.05.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:31h
Distance:
20.5km

A return to Gulen to complete the ascent of Svabergfjellet that I had to abandon due to running out of time during my hike three weeks earlier . Once more I took the express boat from Bergen and followed the gravel path towards Eivindvik but this time skipping the visit of Gulakvila and Kvitebergnova and instead heading directly to Undertun and the marked trailhead for the hike around Undertundalen. After a quick stop at Flogefjellet , I continued east towards Svabergfjellet via Flolifjellet on a rather weak and (at best) inconsistently marked trail. But at least the otherwise potentially challenging descent into Floliskardet was clearly marked and the overall direction, except for the descent to Floliskardet, was pretty obvious. Due to a strong and cold wind at the summit, I did not stay long at Svabergfjellet but quickly continued towards Heia and Ormekletten , still on a rather weak and inconsistently >>>

Voksenkollen to Frognerseteren via Tryvannshøgda

Date:
12.05.2026
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:41h
Distance:
3.1km

When a two-day conference in Oslo came to an end, I did not head directly for the airport but rather hopped on the metro for a short hike to Tryvannshøgda . I got off at Voksenkollen and from there followed the roads towards the large tower near the summit. The highest point was just next to the road and was thus easily reached. From the top, I descended via various gravel roads to the metro stop at Frognerseteren. Here I had considered to include a visit of Roseslottet , but due to a ticket price of 100 kr and only 10 minutes to spare, I decided to leave this for a potential future visit.
