Røttingen diving tower and Ternhaugen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:03h
Distance:
6.7km

Started by taking the bus to Røtinga/Røttingen and got off at the final bus stop called Røttingen snuplass. I then headed south to locate the partially hidden unmarked trailhead that brought me down to Skitnevågen and Pilabruo , the latter which is not indicated on the map, I assume given its modest size. From there on the trail was marked, or at least it had been at some point, but many of the trail markers were missing. Having the GPS-track from Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's trip report therefore came in handy at times. I soon passed the cabins in Kobbavågen and shortly arrived at the diving tower to the south for the best and most interesting views of the day. The tower was probably built between 1930 and 1933 and has also been used as a location in a novel by Gunnar Staalesen (source: turorientering.no ). After a short lunch break, I returned to the trail and soon arrived >>>

Slottet i Modalen

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:56h
Distance:
2.8km

We parked next to the road at a small gravel-covered area seemingly set up to gather and sort sheep. Given that it was mid-December we assumed that the area was not going to be used any time soon. Next, the marked trailhead was easily located and we started on the trail marked with blue paint. The trail was today a bit wet and slippery, but was otherwise straightforward to follow and we soon arrived at the summit, which we had also gotten a preview of just before the final ascent. Excellent views from the summit, although one ought to be careful given the close to 200 meters vertical drop down to the main road. For the return we decided to go for the alternative route via Hestabotn. As the sign at the trailhead indicated this trail had parts that were slightly rougher, but it was (generally) >>>

Vardafjellet, Kallvikanipa and Pina from Kallestadsundet

Date:
12.12.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:32h
Distance:
16.7km

I started by taking the bus (or rather buses) to the bridge across Kallestadsundet. (Note that this would usually also involve a train ride from Bergen to Dale, but no trains today due to scheduled work on the train track.) After crossing the bridge, I continued along the roads to Kallestad where I attempted to locate the (unmarked) trailhead for Vardafjellet . I initially failed (see the descent route for the proper trail), but quickly found the proper trail. The first part of the trail was not marked, but it did not take long before red markers started appearing. The red trail markers made it relatively straightforward to follow the trail almost all the way to the summit of Vardafjellet, although I did lose the markers when I had about 150 meters left. By then I could spot the large antenna south of the >>>
