Våkendalen

Hillwalk

Distance:
17.9km

It was already late afternoon when it finally stopped raining and too late to visit any new peaks. I therefore settled on a new trail instead and hopped on a bus to Årstadveien. Upon reaching the northern end of Svartediket I left the main road and followed the trail up to Hardbakkedalen. Just before the trail enters the upper part of Hardbakkedalen, I turned left (north) for the new trail of the day: Buføringsvegen. My hope was that I would discover a new route up to Langelivatnet, or if this did not work out, end up somewhere below Tarlebøvatnet. The trailhead was marked, but the trail itself did not seem very frequently used. It was however overall easy to follow and I soon arrived at the ruins at Hardbakkhaugen , where an information sign, mainly about the small farm, also mentioned that there used >>>

Started by taking the train to Dale and from there the bus to Tretteneset, where the bus driver provided a bit of extra service by dropping me off just where the tractor road starts (the official bus stop is a couple of hundred meters further up the road). The tractor road made the initial progress straightforward and I soon arrived at the end of the road. Here a trail to Dalseidstølen is shown on the map, but the weak trail I found did not really follow what was indicated on the map. It did however take me to Dalseidstølen, although there may a better trail that I missed. From Dalseidstølen I first turned north, following various deer tracks, before turning southwest on a more direct route to Kvigedalsegga . Note that I did come across a weak trail just after leaving the cabin, but I quickly lost it. So while my route >>>

Cycling: Tellevik - Dalabygda

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
2:13h
Distance:
33.6km

Alternative version of my usual cycling trip around Salhus, but this time taking a shortcut from Tellevik to Dalabygda in between Veten and Høgstefjellet . Note that the gravel road down to Dalabygda is not really cycling-friendly as it is too steep for normal cycling. But at least by going in this direction it is possible to stay on the bike for the whole trip, which is not really an option if going the opposite way.

A revisit of Ulsetvarden . This time ascending from Myrdal. The trailhead was easy to locate, but the trail itself was overall wet, muddy and slippery. Also passed by Geitanuken before starting the descent.
