Utapåegga and Skylefonnstølen

Dato:
05.05.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:54t
Distanse:
5,8km

We parked at Utapåegga p-lomme where there was room for about three cars, and easily located the unmarked trailhead. After a steep start, we crossed an open field and passed through a gate to arrive at the start of an excellent trail that would take us up Utapåegga . This was clearly an old trail that had been used by the farmers in the area, something that became even more obvious when we passed by several unnamed ruins at about 250 meters above sea level. The trail could easily be followed all the way to Skylefonnstølen , and even seemed to continue from there towards Vossavardane NV . We considered heading that way ourselves, but in the end we decided to rather start our descent due to an increasingly cold wind. Throughout the descent we could enjoy the spectacular panoramic views towards the north. Overall, an outstanding hike that can be very >>>

Short evening hike to visit three small hills in Fyllingsdalen. Each hill was easily ascended via unmarked trails with trailheads that thankfully did not include any feelings of trespassing private property (as is not often be the case with these small hills in populated areas). Overall, a nice short hike in a neighborhood that I probably would not otherwise have visited.

Cycling: Storakvitefjellet

Dato:

Blandet sykling
Turlengde:

Distanse:
67,6km

Cycling trip that also included a visit of Storakvitefjellet . Started by following the standard cycling route to Søfteland, where I turned southwest up the very steep Langedalen. Next, I passed by the ruins at Lysekloster on my way to Lysefjorden and Nordvik. Here I easily located the tractor road taking me to the unmarked trailhead for Storakvitefjellet. In order to get to the trailhead a small stream had to be crossed, but this was straightforward given multiple strategically placed rocks. At the trailhead I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was a bit wet early on, but was overall of good quality and easy to follow. It did however disappear (or perhaps split into multiple options?) when crossing a wet area below the summit, but by then the direction was pretty obvious, and the trail shortly >>>

Evening cycling and hiking trip for a visit of Mindebakkentoppen . I left the bike behind at the bend in Løvstien north of Lisahaugen , from where I continued on foot along a very enjoyable trail marked for Løvstakken . The trail followed a relatively narrow pine-covered ridge which at times even requiring a bit of very light scrambling. Shortly after passing Langatjørna, I turned east towards the summit. First along a weak trail, and later in a more direct route requiring light scrambling. Not sure if I lost the trail or if the scrambling was indeed part of the trail. At the summit ridge there was however a very clear north-south trail, indicating that my ascent route is probably not the most common option. (More on the history of Mindebakken can be found here and here .) After a quick visit to the summit, which provided very limited views, >>>

Searching for Fjeldborg - Part III

Dato:
27.04.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:16t
Distanse:
8,7km

Another return to Landåsfjellet to continue my search for the ruins of Fjeldborg (see my two earlier attempts here and here ), this time mainly focusing on the area south/southwest of Berlehytten . Fewer locations to inspect here, as the terrain is generally too steep to match the pictures in Bergensernes Fjellverden II, but no success this time either. In order to get something new out of the hike, I then headed for the suggested location of Jotneberg d.e. as Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) had indicated in his trip report a month earlier . The suggested spot was easily located, although I could not find any traces of the cabin itself, probably due to most of it having been reused when building the new Jotneberg close by. Before heading home, I also made a detour to the summit of Landåsfjellet before enjoying some excellent views across Nubbevatnet as the sun finally decided to appear. The hike was then concluded by crossing >>>
