Stendafjellet and Barkehelleren
On a gray Sunday, and after a full day of hiking in Masfjorden the day before, I decided on a short hike to yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by taking the bus to Lagunen from where I followed the roads up to Stendafjellet. Here I made a short revisit of the summit before returning to the gravel road and following it south and then north to Kandalskaret. Here I came across a trail marked with orange paint that led me almost all the way to summit of Barkehelleren, only requiring a minor detour.
The summit could have provided decent views but these were largely ruined by the numerous overhanging powerlines. I therefore did not stay long before returning to the trail and heading north for a brief visit of Nubben, just in case it at some point is also added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. Nubben was however even less interesting than Barkehelleren. Limited views and a summit in the middle of lots of junipers. There was a weak trail almost to the highest point though.
I returned south to connect with the paved road at Nøttveitvegen and then proceeded to follow various roads and walking paths back to Lagunen from where I took the tram back to the city center.
In conclusion, while the views from Barkehelleren may not be the best, the combination of the gravel roads and the marked trail still made for a nice short hike and provided a reason for exploring yet another part of Bergen.
