Across Hellen festning

Date:
18.10.2025
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:40h
Distance:
3.3km

Short local Saturday hike when a planned hike in Åsane had to be abandoned due to a closed tunnel causing traffic issues. But at least I got to confirm that Hellen festning had opened again after the recent storm with most of the fallen trees now removed.

Across Vidden

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:58h
Distance:
17.0km

When my colleagues suggested that we take Friday off for a hike across Vidden, I of course did not need much convincing. Overall a very nice day for hiking but also a relatively cold experience due to the rather slow speed. Takk for turen!

Reinskarnuten from Ørneberget

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
26.3km

I caught the first local train from Bergen to Ørneberget and was ready to start hiking shortly after nine. The trail from the train station down to Mjølfjell Ungdomsherberge had probably seen better days but did not present any challenges. I also made sure to have a quick look at Katteli , a cabin I had visited over three decades ago when being a pupil at Bergen Katedralskole. Next, I followed the gravel road south to Slondalsvatnet from where I continued via a trail along the lake to Slondal and to Brauåni as the sun was rising. South of Brauåni I started on what the signs called Fagerdalsrunden before later leaving this route at Kvitli. Here I crossed the stream via a small bridge and continued on a weak trail marked by cairns (although there probably could have been a couple more) up to Kvannjolevatnet. In order to continue the ascent from Kvannjolevatnet, >>>

Five summits north of Brekkedalen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:45h
Distance:
22.8km

For the second weekend in a row , Endre picked me up at my place in Lønborg shortly after 07:00 for a drive to Voss. This time we however continued northeast to Stalheim and Brekkedalen. Along the way we saw lots of traces of Amy - the storm that had passed over Hordaland the night before, and even had to avoid a wire stretched halfway across the road in order to get to Stalheim Hotel, but thankfully the trees that had blocked the road had already been removed. After paying the 50 kr toll at the start of Brekkedalsvegen we drove up to Tverraldskaret. Here we parked the car next to the road and then followed the gravel road back down to Kinnarbakken and onwards to Vikset. From Vikset we followed an unmarked, and at times quite weak (we lost it a couple of times), trail up to Viksetskaret. Here we turned west and headed off-trail to the summit of Solheimsfjellet , which provided excellent >>>

Herdabreida and Kistenuten from Øyaset

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
11.8km

After our ascent of Eggjane , we drove the short distance southeast to Øyaset where we found parking next to the road. Note that the use of the gravel road from Rong to Øyaset requires you to pay a fee of 50 kr. This can be paid by Vipps, however there was no cell phone reception at the start of the gavel road nor at Øyaset, and we therefore did not manage to pay until halfway up the first ascent. Our initial plan had been to ascend off-trail on the westside of Kaldåni, but after easily crossing the small river from Furevatnet we got a better look at the terrain and decided to abandon that idea. Briefly we considered following the dry Kaldåni but quickly gave up on that idea as well and instead started on a trail east of it. This turned out to be a very good choice as this trail would take us all the way to the top of the steep gorge made by the river >>>
