Midtbøfjellet

Date:
30.11.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:31h
Distance:
1.4km

With three peaks in the bag, the last being Lifjellet , we drove south to the small parking lot west of Midtbøfjellet and quickly completed the short ascent along a marked trail to the summit before returning the same way. Note that the information sign at the parking lot said that the hike would take 1.5 hours, however it only took us around 30 minutes. We then left Sandøyna and drove east to Brandangervegen to ascend Øksefjellet .

Having successfully ascended Piltevarden , we drove the short distance east to Vassvikdalen. Here we easily found parking next to the road due to a longer section where the road had recently been made wider. As we did not know of any trails to Lifjellet , we simply headed off-trail in the direction of the summit, and besides the first section being a bit cumbersome we later arrived at the summit without any real challenges. The exact location of the highest point was not obvious but it had to be in the area near the large cairn, hence we just visited all of the most likely candidates. During our ascent we had noticed a couple of small cairns north of where we ascended and perhaps some faint traces of a trail, but as there was no real difference we ended up following the same route as used for the ascent. It should however be noted that >>>

Piltevarden roundtrip

Date:
30.11.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:10h
Distance:
4.3km

After our ascent of Byrknesveten , we drove north to Mjømna where we found parking next to the Mjømna kyrkje to ascent Piltevarden . There was a sign saying that the parking lot was only for visitors of the church or the connected graveyard, but as we were not staying long and there were no other cars, we assumed it was still ok. We had initially intended to follow the most direct route to the summit but ended up missing a fork in the marked trail early on and therefore decided to instead turn the hike into a short roundtrip. This would first take us north along the sea before later turning east and finally south to the summit, all the time along a marked trail. From the summit we followed our intended ascent route taking us via a steep but unproblematic descent. We ended up losing the marked trail shortly after the steep descent >>>

When our original plan to go skiing at Vikafjellet had to be cancelled due to bad weather, and the same happened to our backup plan to go hiking to peaks in Omvikdalen/Myklebustdalen south of Rosendal, Endre and I settled on plan C which included driving north to Gulen in an attempt to escape the heavy rain/snow showers further south and east. After taking the ferry across Fensfjorden to Sløvågen, we continued west towards our first goal of the day: Byrknesveten . Here we found parking west of the summit , with room for at least two cars, and from there simply followed the marked trail all the way to the summit cairn. Excellent views from the summit, and a nice short hike along a nice trail that can be recommended. We returned the same way and then drove the short distance north to Mjømna in order to ascend Piltevarden .

Late local evening hike to see if I could spot the northern lights. No luck, even though the conditions should have been pretty good.
