Sjurstonipa, Spåkefjellet and Beitelen

Date:

25.09.2016

Characteristic:

Hillwalk

© Harald Barsnes Started by taking the bus to Gamsevegen and walking to the summit of Sjurstonipa . From there I continued south to Stemmevatnet before heading back up Sjurstodalen and across Spåkefjellet , and then down to the bridge at the end of Spåkevatnet. Next, I followed the road towards Gaupås before locating the trail to Beitelen . The views from the summit itself were limited, but there were better views both south and north of the summit.

Reppadalen and Ådnanipa

Date:

18.09.2016

Characteristic:

Hillwalk

© 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

Date:

Characteristic:

Hillwalk

© 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

Date:

11.09.2016

Characteristic:

Hillwalk

© 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

Date:

Characteristic:

Hillwalk

© 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.
