Flatafjellet (from Fossmark to Dale)

Date:
31.05.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:43h
Distance:
15.6km

I started by taking the bus to Fossmark, and after putting on my full raingear at the bus stop, continued another 100 meters or so along the main road to the marked trailhead. The trail was overall easy to follow as it climbed steeply up the mountainside, although very slippery due to all the rain, and within not too long I arrived at Fossmarksætra . The visibility was not the best, so I was happy to follow the fairly new trail markers onwards to Flatavasshaugen . I did lose the trail just as I was passing north of Kraksåvatnet though, but it was easily relocated. Due to the fog, I first followed the trail to Flatavasshaugen, before (re-)turning southeast for a quick visit to the slightly higher summit of Flatafjellet . No trails in this direction that I could see, and while Flatafjellet was not as flat as its name would indicate, it >>>

Nonhøyen from Flaktveit

Date:
30.05.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:18h
Distance:
5.6km

A revisit of Nonhøyen . This time starting from the final bus stop at Flaktveit. The trailhead was unmarked but easy to locate, even though at first I was a bit unsure whether I was starting on a trail or entering someone's backyard. The trail followed the ridge and was overall easy to follow. From Nonhøyen I continued west to Jonsokhaugen, where the plan was to follow the trail indicated on the map all the way to Liavatnet. But shortly after leaving Jonsokhaugen the trail disappeared. I therefore turned back and instead followed the trail down to Liastølen. The hike was finished off by walking along the roads back to Åsane terminal for the bus home.

Gråfjellet roundtrip (up via Bogadalen, down via Herfindal)

Date:
26.05.2019
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
9:13h
Distance:
27.6km

We started by taking the bus to Boge and following the steep gravel road up to Bogavatnet. From there we continued north along a trail passing by many of the very nice cabins at Bogastølen. But somewhere during our ascent to Stabben we lost the trail (or it disappeared?), and while we would still come across several small cairns, the rest of our hike to Gråfjellet was overall without any trails to follow. After walking around Rossatjørna on the northern side, the initial progress from Krossatjørna towards the summit was straightforward. But as we got closer, the terrain turned more challenging and now mainly consisted of numerous small lakes and steep (although not very high) cliffs that had to be traversed. The nature of the terrain also made it difficult to see the best route from a distance. The >>>
