Raunelifjellet from Grøssviki

Date:
22.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:45h
Distance:
6.6km

For almost two years, Raunelifjellet had been my only remaining summit on the Osterøy ≥ 100m pf. list . When Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) suggested a joint trip to Raunelifjellet, I therefore of course eagerly agreed. After reading previous trip reports, we decided to go for an ascent from Grøssviki northeast of the summit, thus following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) and arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) . (See their trip reports here and here .) We found parking at the start of a tractor road beginning in the first hairpin turn on the road up from Grøssviki. Plenty of room here for a single car, without blocking neither of the two roads. Here we left the car behind and continued on foot along a tractor road that did not seem to be very frequently used. Soon we left the tractor road behind and continued southwest on a weak road/trail that shortly came to an end. From there on, we followed various deer tracks >>>

Short evening hike with two colleagues, among them yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) , where we followed the standard route from the large new parking lot southeast of the summit. My third visit of Eldsfjellet , but the first to the new "dagsturhytte" called Eldsbu . Windy at the summit and not as much sun as we had hoped but otherwise a very nice short hike.

A return to Stord to complete the Stord ≥ 100m pf. list . I started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Stord and getting off at the stop called "Grov nord E39". From there I followed a marked route southwest, choosing the northern of the two options when the road forked just after the trailhead. This included first crossing a small wooden bridge and then continuing on a nice tractor road that later turned into a trail before again returning to a tractor road, and finally ending up at the paved road heading north. After a short walk along the paved road, I took a shortcut up Omabrekko to arrive at the floodlit ski track south of Lundarstøl . I continued northwest for a quick visit of Lundarstøl, before heading west along the roads to the marked trailhead for Steingilshøgda . For the rest of the hike I would now be on trails >>>

Fjordsyn from Agnavika

Date:
08.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:13h
Distance:
2.9km

On the way home from Sogndal, Sigjoern (Sigbjørn Holm) , Marthine and I, decided to make a short stop at Stanghelle to enjoy the excellent weather for a visit of Fjordsyn . We parked at the parking lot in Agnavika . It was however also possible to park along the road even closer to the trailhead. The marked trail was more varied than expected but straightforward to follow and we quickly arrived at very nice location of Fjordsyn, with Veafjorden and Osterøy to the west and Storafjellet looming in the background to the north. From the small lighthouse just southwest of the cabin we could even spot Solaråsen in the distance. After a short break we returned along the same route and completed the drive home to Bergen.

Hauståkernakken utsiktspunkt from Vesterland

Date:
07.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:47h
Distance:
11.3km

After celebrating my niece’s confirmation at Vesterland , I convinced Sigjoern (Sigbjørn Holm) and Marthine to join me for a hike to Hauståkernakken utsiktspunkt . Excellent views all the way from Vesterland to the locked gate above Dalåker . From here until reaching our goal, the views were much more limited due to lots of trees. But this only helped build anticipation to when the views finally opened up at the end of the tractor road and we could enjoy the stunning views across Amlabukti with a snow-covered Bleia in the background. As the sun was setting, we however did not stay long before heading back. First along the tractor road but soon instead following marked bike trail shortcuts. Overall, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended.
