Olsokfjellet and Lyreneset

Date:
16.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:39h
Distance:
10.6km

One of my colleagues suggested that we should do a short hike to Olsokfjellet after work, mainly so that she could collect more "stolper" for Stolpejakten , and we managed to get one additional colleague to join. The nice weather we had been promised when deciding on the hike the day before was however replaced by rain showers for the first part of the hike and a dense fog hiding most of the views. After descending via Damsgårdsfjellet to Laksevåg, two of us continued north to finish of the hike with an interesting exploration of Lyreneset .

Aksla and Revurefjellet from Nordtveit

Date:
14.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:52h
Distance:
8.7km

After our hike to Senafjellet , Endre and I drove the short distance south to Nordtveit where we parked at a designated location next to the road and from there followed the marked trails for Revurefjellet . Our first goal was however Aksla and after first following the tractor road up to Vetlavatnet and from there the marked trail to Svineskaret, we left the trail for Revurefjellet and instead continued northeast on the marked trail to Aksla. The trails were overall quite wet but the trail markers had recently been refreshed and overall we did not have any problems finding our way. The summit of Aksla provided excellent views and we would perhaps have stayed longer if it had not been for the cold wind. After a quick visit of the alternative and slightly lower summit to the south we therefore reconnected with the marked trail and continued southwest to Revurefjellet via Svartavatnet.

Senafjellet from Femanger

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:07h
Distance:
4.0km

Endre picked me up at my place and together we drove south to Bjørnafjorden via Samnanger. Our first goal was Senafjellet where we, thanks to previous trip reports, easily located the small parking area just north of the small bridge at Femanger. After a short walk east we left the gravel road and began our off-trail ascent towards the summit. The ascent started quite steep and muddy, with lots of trees to navigate around/over, but it did not take long before we were following what almost looked like a trail. It was most likely just deer tracks though, which became more obvious the higher up we got. We decided to more or less follow the narrow valley in a straight line all the way to the summit. This worked out fine and did not present any real challenges. As we approached the summit the light rain shower that >>>

Blåurskampen and Kampen

Date:
06.04.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:46h
Distance:
6.5km

Short evening hike between the rain showers with the main objective of visiting Kampen , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . On my way there I also passed by Blåurskampen which could potentially also be added to the list, but with only deer tracks to follow and very limited views from the summit I decided to not add it as its own PB-element (update: it was later added by Helwig ). Kampen could be easily ascended from the east, and I probably should have descended that way as well, but instead decided on a shortcut northeast along the ridge. A bit steep towards the end but no real challenges. Not sure if I saved much time compared to the easier route back east though.

Såta, Aurihophytta and Fedjebjørnen

Date:
03.03.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:31h
Distance:
10.4km

A return to Fedje with the main goal of visiting Aurihophytta , which I had not had time for during my first trip to the island back in 2021 . Decided not to repeat the very long cycling trip this time around though and instead arrived by car, which we left at Sævrøy before getting on the ferry. Minor swells but overall a smooth journey. At Fedje, we followed the roads southwest to the marked trailhead for Aurihophytta. Here we continued on a very nice gravel-covered trail. But just as we started discussing whether it perhaps would be this easy all the way to the cabin, the marked route left the gravel and instead led us along a relatively wet trail. We passed via Såta and continued southeast to Aurihophytta. Here we had a short lunch break before heading south to the paved road close to Hellisøy fyr . All that remained was then walking along the road back to >>>

Vikefjell, Toraksla and Opsangerneset

Date:
25.02.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:47h
Distance:
10.1km

Ever since Petter and I ran out of time during our visit of Halsnøy and Husnes last June, I had had plans to return to also visit Vikefjell , but this time via the express boat from Bergen. The boat took around two hours and after disembarking I followed the roads east towards the southern trailhead for Vikefjell. No sidewalks but thankfully not a lot of traffic. The marked trailhead was easily located and I proceeded to follow an initially rather steep trail up to Søre Vikefjell where I took a short break to enjoy the excellent views. From there it was only a short distance to the highest point at Vikefjell, referred to as Nordre Vikefjell. Ok views here as well but more limited than Søre Vikefjell. I continued east along the marked trail until connecting with the gravel road in Teigadalen. Here I turned south and headed down to the main road before turning west and returning >>>
