Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
2.9km

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 .

I started by taking an early train from Bergen to Voss and then the bus to Bu terminal just south of Hardangerbroen. Here I could have switched to a connecting bus heading towards Eidfjord, but I did not think of this until it was too late, and in any case it would only have saved me around 1 km along the paved road. After a short walk east on the separate cycling and walking path, I left the main road and followed a smaller side road via Indre Bu to the start of a tractor road west of Bugjelet. When the tractor road came to an end at a small stream, I easily crossed to the other side and continued on an initially marked trail. The markers soon disappeared though, but the trail was still generally easy follow. When getting close to the top of the pass, the trail split and I followed the option >>>
