Reppadalen and Ådnanipa

Fjelltur

© Harald Barsnes We parked at the parking lot next to Stølsvegen and followed the marked trail to Reppadalen. This started out as a gravel road that turned into a smaller trail when getting closer to Reppadalen. From Reppadalen we followed another trail towards Ådnanipa and from there continued north to Åsheim, before taking a U-turn and following the gravel road back to the car.

Gullfjelltoppen from Gullbotn

Fjelltur

© Harald Barsnes We started from Gullbotn on what would turn out to be the warmest September day in Bergen history (only to be beaten the following day). 20-25 degrees and sunny, with close to no wind, turned this into a harder hike than expected. From Gullbotn we followed the cairns to the summit of Gullfjelltoppen where we had an extended break enjoying the views before taking the same route back to the car.

Ulskebjørnen

Fjelltur

© Harald Barsnes Started by taking the bus to Ervik and walking along Selvikveien and Vinddalsveien to the crossroads that takes you either to Vinddalen or Stallane . At this crossroads I chose the path towards Stallane, but directly after passing the gate I turned left (east/northeast) and followed the marked trail to Ulskebjørnen , taking me on the northeastern side of Fureberget. Note that even though the path to Ulskebjørnen is easy to follow, it can be steep at times and is not recommended for those very afraid of heights. From the summit I tried following a trail towards the top of Jordalsskaret, but the trail was not easy to follow and I ended up simply trying to walk in the right direction and avoid the wettest areas. I passed by the cabin Dyrhovda , before ending the hike by walking down Jordalskaret and then home to Lønborg.

Spåkefjellet, Stikka and Vikinghytten

© Harald Barsnes We started from Gaupås and from there intended to cross over Sjurstonipa on the way to Stikka , but we took a wrong turn at the start and passed by Spåkefjellet instead. From Stikka we followed the trail to Norhytten , and from there tried to find a shortcut to Vikinghytten , but taking this direct route probably turned out to take longer than following the marked trail. Finally, we crossed Rundemanen on our way back to city center.

© Harald Barsnes Started by taking the bus to Breisteinvegen and from there walking to Haukåsrinden for the start of the hike. I then followed the marked trail to Hetlebakksåta and Breisteinsåta, before heading down to Erviknipa. From Erviknipa I followed the trail towards Tuftadalen and Gaupåsvegen. Overall a very nice hike that can be highly recommended. See Hetlebakksåta, Breisteinsåta and Erviknipa for the same hike with GPS tracking.

Hauggjeldsvarden from Gløvrehaugen

Fjelltur

© Harald Barsnes Started from Haukeland Sykehus and walked to Baunehytten. From there we continued to Gløvrevatnet and up the ridge to Haukelandsstikkene and finally reaching Hauggjeldsvarden. The fog started to gather soon after leaving Gløvrevatnet though, and at the summit we had to rely on the GPS to locate the cairn. From the summit we followed the trail back to Ulriken and down to Haukeland Sykehus.

© Harald Barsnes The trip started by taking the bus to Bønestoppen and from there following the trail over Gullsteinen to Løvstakken. From Løvstakken I continued to Strandafjellet where I followed a very steep trail down to Solheimslien. See Gullsteinen, Løvstakken and Strandafjellet for a similar hike with GPS tracking but with an easier descent from Strandafjellet.

Geitanuken, Ulsetvarden and Rollandsoksen

Fjelltur

© Harald Barsnes Started by taking the bus to Saudalen and from there following the marked trail to Geitanuken . I then doubled back to try to locate the trail towards Ulsetvarden . The trail was not easy to find (and unmarked). However, in the end I found what I assumed was the correct trail and followed a very wet path to Ulsetvarden. From there I found the trail towards Myrdal and along "Den Trondhjemske Postvei" with a short detour to Rollandsoksen .
