Godvikaskjenet and Storhaugen

Date:
25.05.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:56h
Distance:
4.0km

Two small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list that I had put off visiting due to both basically being inside someone's backyard. Godvikaskjenet however turned out to be a positive surprise as the dense undergrowth I had expected to power through had been replaced by a gravel road! Hence there was only a very short off-trail section required before connecting with the weak trail along the ridge. This summit was therefore reached without any real issues. Storhaugen was another matter. While it is perhaps technically possible to reach the summit without trespassing, it definitely did not feel that way, and I ended up stopping around 40 meters from the highest point. But I will still put it in the "been there, done that, definitely not coming back" category. It might be possible to ascend from the north instead but not without it >>>

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 >>>
