Melderskin via boat from Bergen

Date:
02.10.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:01h
Distance:
14.4km

When the weather forecast suddenly promised blue sky and sunshine on Friday, while the upcoming weekend looked pretty bleak, I managed to clear the day of meetings such that I could take the day off and rather work during the weekend. Instead of heading to work Friday morning, I therefore embarked on the boat to Rosendal to ascend Melderskin . Around two hours later, I was ready to start my hike and now had just over 7.5 hours before the boat back. I followed the roads up to the marked trailhead for Melderskin and proceeded to follow the marked trail. Many of the markers had seen better days and were not always easy to spot, but overall they were not really needed anyway. The trail was steep but with no difficult or exposed sections and the final section up to Skardshaugen even had stone steps. After a short stop to >>>

Giljabotnnipa via Slettedalen

Date:
27.09.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:14h
Distance:
11.3km

With the ascent of Blåfjellet , I only had one peak left on the Voss ≥ 100m pf. list , namely Giljabotnnipa . During our drive from Bergen, we had considered different routes to the summit, including a detour via Jordalsnuten (which Endre had not yet visited), but in the end decided to make our ascent from Slettedalen. We therefore parked at Brualøo parkering , paid the 100 kr fee via Vipps, and started northeast up the tractor road. It quickly became apparent that Endre was able to maintain a higher speed than me, hence we agreed to split such that he could also get the chance to visit Jordalsnuten. Basically, we would both use the same (or at least similar) routes to Giljabotnnipa, but where I would return the same way, he would continued southwest along the ridge, ending up at Jordalsnuten, before finally returning north to the parking lot. This would be longer, but given his >>>

Jashaugbu

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:15h
Distance:
0.5km

After the ascent of Blåfjellet , and a sightseeing trip to Feiosdalsvatnet, Endre and I made a quick stop on our way south to visit Jashaugbu . From the small parking lot along the gravel road, this only required a short walk of around 250 meters each way. After a couple of pictures, we returned to the car and continued south for the final ascent of day: Giljabotnnipa .

Blåfjellet from Vikjadalen

Date:
27.09.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:46h
Distance:
7.1km

For almost a year, I had only two peaks left on the Voss ≥ 100m pf. list . So when Endre asked if I had any suggestions for where to go hiking this weekend, I knew what was at the top of my list. He was easily convinced and picked me up at my place at 07:00 the next morning. After a long drive from Bergen, and paying the 50 kr toll fee in Fresvikjordalen , we were finally ready begin our hike shortly before 10:00. First up was Blåfjellet . We drove to the end of the road in Vikjadalen and from there followed the most natural route to the summit, i.e., first up to the ridge east of Svelgavatnet, then southeast along the ridge, before finally turning southwest to the large summit cairn. This did not present any real challenges and the highest point was reached without any issues. The views were however somewhat limited by low-hanging clouds, and combined with a cold >>>
