Skiing at Fløyen

Date:
17.01.2023
Characteristic:
Cross-country skiing
Duration:
2:41h
Distance:
13.7km

The first skiing trip of 2023! (Although not the first this winter .) Ok, but not great conditions. Even so, the skis came on just above the upper station of Fløibanen and stayed on until Smådiket (the small dam below Storevatnet), where the frequency of small rocks visible in the already rather thin layer of snow simply got too high. However, the skies were put back on between Munkebotsvatnet and the top of Øyjorden.

Orretua

Date:
15.01.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:19h
Distance:
8.1km

Local Sunday hike across Orretua to look for a trig marker north of the summit that knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) had detected as part of his search for such markers all over Bergen. The marker was located less than 50 meters from the trail, could be reached without any real issues and provided excellent views. After a quick visit to the summit of Orretua, I descended via Ravneberg and also included a revisit of the recently renovated Birkelid . On my last visit this cabin had been in a sorry state, but now it looked almost brand new!

Vardebu, Kolåsfjellet and Steinfjellet

Date:
14.01.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:56h
Distance:
7.8km

A return to Lindås and Kolåsfjellet with the main objective of visiting Vardebu , which had not been there at my last visit of Kolåsfjellet in 2018 . After visiting both Vardebu and Kolåsfjellet I continued northwest to Steinfjellet , which provided excellent views and was well worth the short detour. From Steinfjellet I followed a trail via Hæddena that later turned southwest and headed back towards Vardebu. I however did not reascend to Vardebu/ Vardefjellet , but instead followed an alternative trail marked with orange ribbons back to the parking lot and from there returned to the bus stop at Kolås kryss. This last trail was not of the same overall high quality as the other trails, but it had plenty of trail markers and was easy to follow.

Skulehaugen and Orrtuvatnet

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:41h
Distance:
2.9km

When the final day of 2022 turned out to be a rather gray one, I opted for a short hike to visit yet another small hill recently added to the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Skulehaugen . Skulehaugen was easily accessible from southeast without getting too close to the nearest house just to the north of the summit. Afterwards, the hike was concluded by a walk around Orrtuvatnet before returning to Fyllingsdalen terminal.
