- Distance:
- 9.5km
Tempted by the nice weather I left work a bit early and hopped on a bus to Kleppe (or rather buses and ferry), but sadly the sun did not stick around and was almost completely hidden behind gray clouds even before I got off the bus. From the bus stop (called "Kleppe austre"), I continued north along the main road until reaching the relatively new gravel road to Haugo. By following the gravel road I easily arrived at Drangevågen, from where I continued on a trail to Drangen. The first part of the route up the gorge behind Drangen was easy enough, there was even the odd trail marker. But further up the trail split, or perhaps more likely a deer track headed left and the trail continued to the right, and soon both trails pretty much disappeared. I first tried the left option, but quickly >>>
Melshovden
- Date:
- 23.03.2019
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 1:15h
- Distance:
- 3.3km
Started by taking the bus (or rather buses, including a quick visit to Fureberget ) to Sørkvingo where I easily located the marked trailhead for Melshovden . The trail itself was not marked as far as I could tell, but it was straightforward to follow, although a bit slippery at times, predominantly consisting of wet rocky surfaces. Most of my ascent was out of the wind, but as I got closer to the summit the wind started to pick up and the large cairn came in handy as a shelter. Excellent views from the summit, clearly worth the long bus ride! After numerous pictures I started my descent, making it to the bus stop at Sørkvingo with 10-15 minutes to spare. In summary, a very nice short hike that can be highly recommended!
Fureberget at Flatøy
- Date:
- 23.03.2019
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 0:43h
- Distance:
- 3.2km
Decided to split up the bus ride to Melshovden with a short visit to Fureberget at Flatøy. The plan was to get off the bus before crossing the bridge to Knarvik, but for some reason the bus driver ignored my signal and I thus had to re-cross the bridge to get to the trailhead for Fureberget. The trail indicated on the map seemed to be most heavily used by off-road vehicles, probably used to perform maintenance on the antenna at the summit, resulting in rather wet tracks that could be followed all the way to the summit. As expected, the summit did not provide the best of views, and I did not stay long before returning to Knarvik and the next part of the bus ride to Melshovden. Note that the trail, or rather gravel road, toward Skjeljevikane looked much better, so perhaps a route to explore at a different occasion.

Håhaugen from Andås E39
- Date:
- 16.03.2019
- Characteristic:
- Hillwalk
- Duration:
- 1:21h
- Distance:
- 3.6km
Started by taking the bus (or more correctly buses, as four in total was required) to the crossroads west of Eikefettunnelen (bus stop called “Andås E39”). From there I walked back along the main road towards the known trailhead for Håhaugen . Thankfully there was plenty of space on the outside of the guard rails, so I was clearly separated from the high-speed traffic. The trailhead was easily located, but as expected the trail quickly disappeared. But it was still straightforward to make progress up the small valley north of the summit. At the top of the valley I located what seemed like the easiest place to ascend, and while relatively steep and requiring light climbing, it did not provide any real difficulty, except for one spot where the snow was extra slippery. From there on it was however easy >>>
