Grønafjellet, Folldalshaugane and Linken

Date:
10.01.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
10.8km

A return to Folldalshaugane and Linken/Lyseskarfjellet with the objective of also visiting Grønafjellet . Started from the bus stop "Rød sør" and at first followed the same route as for my visit of Rødsaksla . Ended up following this route for a too long though and had to backtrack. In my defense the trails were covered by both snow and ice, however towards Grønafjellet there was a single set of footprints leading the way. I was surprised to be able to follow a trail marked with small cairns for the final section to the larger summit cairn at Grønafjellet. Excellent views from the highest point and well worth a visit. After returning to the trail, or rather the footprints, I followed it/them east to connect with the main trail which I then followed via Folldalshaugane to Linken. The descent to the main road contained lots of ice and would have been >>>

Ådnagavlen from Eide to Seim

Date:
29.12.2025
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:49h
Distance:
12.7km

With a vertical separation of 99.5, Ådnagavlen is just shy of the 100 meters required to be part of the Hordaland ≥ 100m pf. list , and (partly) as a result it only had one previous ascent registered on PB. When preparing for my hike, I initially struggled to find any details regarding recommended trails from Eide. This however changed when learning that the locals refer to the peak as Aodnagavlen, with the most useful resource being a route description (in Norwegian) from Granvin Turlag . After taking the train to Voss and the bus to Granvin terminal, I continued southwest along the main road to Jaunsen Gjestgjevarstad where I came across the first sign for Aodnagavlen. From there on it was relatively straightforward to follow the red trail markers. As recommended in the route description I however left the marked trail for a short detour along the impressive world war II trenches >>>
