Bamsehi, Gjøken and Huldraheimen

Date:
19.01.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:59h
Distance:
20.5km

Started by taking the bus (or rather, bus, train and then bus again) to Lone and from there following the road to Borgo where the marked trailhead was easily located. However, shortly after leaving the last house behind the signs stopped, and given that the trail was completely covered by snow (and there were no footprints to follow), I was soon rather unsure whether I was following a trail or not. I think I was pretty close though. At least it was relatively straightforward to make progress toward Borgaskaret. My main challenge was that it had by now started snowing quite heavily, which made for poor visibility. I decided to still make the planned detour for Bamsehi , but more or less walking from cairn to cairn in order to avoid having to refer to the GPS too frequently. After a quick visit to Bamsehi , I >>>

Visiting 15 cabins south of Ulriken

Date:
13.01.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:34h
Distance:
12.7km

Started from the bus stop at Montana and followed the normal route to Baunehytten and Landåsfjellet . Here I turned back and then passed by Sigridheim , Speiderhytten , Arneborg , Smaa-Gimle , Gimle , Lidskjalv and Noreg on my way up to Turnerhytten . The initial plan had been to continue to Hauggjelsvarden , but the strong cold winds made me discard this plan and instead start my descent, passing by Steinbu and Arken , before finally getting a bit of shelter. Årstadvoll , Djervhytten and Breidablik were also visited on my way down to Årstadveien. PS: Note that Arken was rebuilt somewhere between 2017 and 2018 . The cabin's appearance is therefore different compared to the pictures in "Byfjellene - mangfold og hytteliv" by Trygve Hillestad from 2016. Until coming across this information I was unsure whether I had visited the correct cabin. ;) PSS: Steinbu has clearly also recently been refurbished and now ironically looks more like it's made out of wood than the stones indicated by the name. :)
