Hellen festning with Endre!

Date:
09.02.2025
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:11h
Distance:
0.4km

After our short skiing trip in Masfjorden , we, quite unusually for us, returned to Bergen while the sun was still shining. Endre therefore suggested that I perhaps could give him a guided tour of Hellen festning (after seeing my numerous "Across Hellen festning" trip reports here on Peakbook), and I was of course more than happy to oblige. We parked as close to Hellen festning as possible and completed the final short distance on foot. The guided tour was afterwards extended to also include a brief visit of my apartment just as the sun was setting. Takk for nok en strålende dag på tur, Endre!

Hattråsen and Smørkisfjellet

Date:
08.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:16h
Distance:
8.7km

A return to Kalandseidet to visit two recent additions to the Alle topper i Bergen list . From the bus stop I followed the various roads to Hattråsdalen, only making a short detour to Styrshaugen, and then headed off-trail up the valley east of the summit of Hattråsen . Here I came across a trail marked with red and white plastic ribbons that took me almost to the summit. But when the trail started descending south along the ridge, I instead headed off-trail to the summit which, despite a minor fight with the many juniper bushes, was reached without any real issues. The summit provided views to the south but slightly better views could be obtained from just south of the highest point. I returned to the marked trail and proceeded to briefly follow it north in order to reconnect with the gravel road. But again the markers headed >>>

Stendafjellet and Barkehelleren

Date:
02.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:57h
Distance:
7.4km

On a gray Sunday, and after a full day of hiking in Masfjorden the day before, I decided on a short hike to yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started by taking the bus to Lagunen from where I followed the roads up to Stendafjellet . Here I made a short revisit of the summit before returning to the gravel road and following it south and then north to Kandalskaret. Here I came across a trail marked with orange paint that led me almost all the way to summit of Barkehelleren , only requiring a minor detour. The summit could have provided decent views but these were largely ruined by the numerous overhanging powerlines. I therefore did not stay long before returning to the trail and heading north for a brief visit of Nubben, just in case it at some point is also added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. Nubben was however even less interesting than Barkehelleren. >>>

Klettane, again...

Date:
01.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:08h
Distance:
2.7km

After our long hike to Storenova, Gulbrekkefjellet and Hisbotsnuken , Endre and I drove the short distance east to Kvamdalsvanet to take care of some unfinished business. It turned out that we at our previous visit of Klettane and not in fact visited the highest point, as this had since been moved from the western hill where the trig marker is located to a slightly higher hill around 150 meters to the east. As the day was darkening we therefore once more began the ascent up the tractor road to the wet area northeast of Klettane, but where we last time had proceeded off-trail to the summit, we now discovered a marked trail that greatly simplified the ascent. Partly due to the limited light we managed to lose the marked trail before reaching the summit but found it again towards the end. It was now almost dark but we could enjoy the end of the sunset from the summit before >>>

Storenova, Gulbrekkefjellet and Hisbotsnuken

Date:
01.02.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:26h
Distance:
18.6km

Note: This hike includes several steep off-trail ascents and descents in rough terrain that may not be to everyone's liking. Please read the report carefully. A return to Masfjorden with Endre and a plan for a roundtrip including ascents of Storanova , Gulbrekkefjellet and Hisbotsnuken . We ended up driving a bit later than planned from Bergen but thankfully still made the ferry at Masfjordnes, although with less than two minutes to spare. After the short drive from Duesund to Sleire we parked outside Sleire skulemuseum and walked the short distance west to the start of the gravel road heading northwest towards Hatleliåsen. This road later turned into a tractor road that we followed all the way to the top of the pass west of Storenova. Here we, to our surprise, found a marked trail that led us all the way to the large summit cairn. Inspired by an external trip report by Arnt Flatmo , we >>>
