Cabin ruins: Løvstakken

Characteristic:
Hillwalk

3:40h
Distance:
12.1km

Yet another hike to search for old cabin ruins. This time in what was used to be called Hyttelien, an area south of Løvstakken were there once used to be numerous cabins, none of which are still standing. Once again I could benefit from knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's excellent work for locating most of the ruins in the area. There were however two ruins that he had struggled to find: Helgheim and Gyldenprishytten/Akevitten . For the former, I was pretty sure I had found its location via in-depth inspection of old aerial photos, but for the latter I had not been able to find any additional information prior to the hike. After first visiting Knut Sverre’s suggested locations for Gyldenprishytten and Helgheim (now renamed Tuft NV for Liafjellet, Løvstakken and Tuft V for Liafjellet, Løvstakken , I made a quick visit to the summit of the newly added Liafjellet , including a surprisingly steep descent, before heading towards the ruins of Fagerheim .

Cabin ruins: Steinhytten

Distance:

Short evening hike to visit the ruins of Steinhytten southwest of Ulriken. The cabin was easily located and only required a short detour from the trail. From the ruins I followed a weak trail north, marked with lots of small reflectors and apparently sponsored by NRK. Later I connected with the steep trail to/from Ulriken which I followed southwest down to the road.

Cabin ruins: Landåsfjellet - Part 2

A return to Landåsfjellet to visit some of the ruins I had either skipped on my last visit or where I had been uncertain of the location. First up was Norheim , where I had an approximate location from Bergensernes Fjellverden II (BF II), which combined with the accompanying pictures enabled me to quickly locate a location that seemed to match. Only very weak traces left of the cabin itself. Next, I moved on to Bryterhytten , again making good use of the information in BF II and easily locating the weak traces of the cabin. Limited traces here as well. The cold wind had now started to pick up, so I did not stay long, and even forgot to visit the summit of Orrehaugane , before moving on to Fjellro . Fjellro was one of those location I was sure I had visited on my previous visit, but where I was not sure of the exact location. This time >>>

Cabin ruins: Nordnesdalen

Distance:
7.7km

More visits of old cabin ruins, this time in Nordnesdalen where I could simply follow in the footsteps of knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) . His impressive work for locating the ruins in Nordnesdalen made sure that I could find all of them without any issues. A task that otherwise would have been significantly more difficult given that the map in Bergensernes Fjellverden II clearly had its shortcoming for this particular area.
