Sightseeing at Fløyen

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:49h
Distance:
2.5km

Short sightseeing trip with a colleague visiting from the UK. Bergen did not show itself from its best side, but at least there were some views from the top of Fløibanen and it did not rain too badly during our walk around Skomakerdiket. Note: Created by hand after the hike as I did not bother turning on the GPS during the hike itself.

Kjeneset and Såta

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
5.0km

Initial plans to spend the Sunday hiking at Voss had to be abandoned when I for once did not manage to generate the required activation energy to get up and out the door before sunrise, mainly due to suboptimal weather forecasts and overall very wet terrain. As a replacement I went for a shorter hike later in the day at Korsneset to visit yet more minor summits on the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Kjeneset and Såta . Two summits I had been saving for just such a gray and rainy day. After arriving by bus, I pretty much followed in the footsteps of either Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) or knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) , where the only real challenge was finding a route up the short step ascent south of the summit of Kjeneset. In the end I found a location where only a little bit of light scrambling was needed. No such issues to reach Såta, but instead there were plenty of wet and >>>

Hillwalk
Duration:
5:10h
Distance:
19.0km

I started by taking the train to Voss with the plan to continue on the bus to Framnes at the western end of Oppheimsvatnet. Due to signaling problems in the tunnel between Bergen and Arna the train ended up arriving 15 minutes late at Voss, but thankfully I still managed to catch the bus heading for Gudvangen. In fact, there were two buses as apparently the tourist season was not quite over. After getting off the bus at Framnes, I walked back along the main road for about 200 meters (on a broad sidewalk) to cross the bridge to the south side of Oppheimsvatnet where I continued south along Langedalsvegen (the second exit to the right) until locating the marked trailhead for Lemme. The first 100 meters or so consisted of a new tractor road where the earth/mud had not quite set yet, but then changed >>>
