Malmangersnuten from Rosendal kai

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:19h
Distance:
9.6km

Ascending to the top of Malmangersnuten had been on my list ever since I had to turn back at the viewpoint called Hjort just below the summit in May 2008 in order to not be too late for a conference dinner at Baroniet Rosendal . There would be a tight schedule this time around as well, in total 3.5 hours from disembarking in Rosendal until the boat would take me back to Bergen. The two-hour boat trip from Bergen was very nice and provided excellent views along the way. Upon arriving at Rosendal, I immediately headed south to the marked trailhead for Malmangersnuten. After leaving the main road, this included a walk alongside an old stone fence and then a short stretch following a gravel road. The trail was initially climbing steeply inside a relatively dark forest, before the vegetation grew less dense and the views gradually started >>>

Ever since I ran out of time three weeks ago , it felt like I had some unfinished business in Granvin. At the first opportunity I therefore once again took the train to Voss and the bus to Bulkokrysset with the plan to finally ascend Skamdalshorgi . My plan almost got off to a bad start though, as the bus from Voss for some reason did not leave the main road for the detour around Tunsbergtunnelen, thus skipping the bus stop at the start of Bulkovegen that I had gotten off at last time. But thankfully I realized this change just in time and managed to get off the bus before it actually went through the tunnel. With this initial scare out of the way, I walked the short distance to the start of Bulkovegen and proceeded to follow it south to the unmarked trailhead for Skamdalshorgi just north of the summit. (Note that while most of the parking >>>

Hillwalk

Distance:

After cycling from Våge , I left my bike at the marked trailhead for Gjøvågsvarden and continued on foot along the marked trail. I quickly arrived at the trig marker indicating the summit and could enjoy its excellent panoramic views. However, earlier studies of the map had indicated that there was a slightly higher hill around 300 meters further south, and there was even a trail heading in this direction. I therefore continued along this trail, which, while a bit weaker than the trail to the trig marker, easily took me all the way to the small cairn marking this alternative southern summit. No sign next to the cairn itself, but just to the southwest there was a sign with the name Stålhuo, but whether this is the name of the summit or just the adjacent viewpoint I am not sure. In any case, I had now definitely visited the highest point of Gjøvågsfjellet  >>>
