Horn, Volafjellet and Tvarafjellet from Bulken

Date:
27.06.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
10:32h
Distance:
37.2km

I started by taking the train to Bulken and from there following the paved and later gravel road up to Tverrlii p-plass . Here the road turned into a nice unmarked trail that brought me up to Listred . The map here indicated a trail continuing north, but I did not see any traces of it. In any case, I crossed the river and instead headed off-trail towards Horn . Note that while I crossed south of the bridge, as there was very little water in the river, the bridge had been upgraded since Knut Sverre 's visit more than five years ago when it was more of a "build you own bridge" concept. ;) When getting closer to the summit I came across a weak trail marked with small cairns (maybe coming up from Vestbygdi/Nyestølen?), but it seemed to disappear when approaching the summit. Before heading to the summit, I made a quick visit of the large cairn to the west . Excellent views from both >>>

Cycling: Nordåsvatnet, Flesland and Skjold

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
3:51h
Distance:
54.9km

Cycling trip with the main objective of visiting more minor peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started by cycling to Nordåsvatnet and onwards to Ruskeneshaugen . As I did not see any way to access the summit without bordering on trespassing, I skipped the last 50 meters the summit and instead turned south to Kokstadhaugen . I left my bike northwest of the summit and continued the rest of the way on foot, partly along a trail. Better views than expected from the summit. Before heading for Skjold and the final two peaks, I first made a quick visit to Flesland. Getting to Skjoldhøgda was straightforward, except for lots of roadwork resulting in several detours. Also here I skipped the last 20 meters to the summit in order to avoid strange looks from the nearby neighbors. There were some very nice views from just north of the summit though, which could >>>

Cycling: Nonkletten and Moldstigahaugen

Date:
20.06.2021
Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
4:31h
Distance:
67.5km

With a weather forecast of late afternoon rain showers, I postponed my initial hiking plans and rather went for a cycling trip to Krokeide with the goal of visiting two more peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Nonkletten and Moldstigahaugen . Thanks to the earlier trip reports, I could easily locate the unmarked trailhead south of Nonkletten, and after leaving my bike behind I followed the marked trail all the way to the summit. Limited views from the summit itself, but the views during the ascent (and later descent) were quite good. From Nonkletten I followed the trail north towards Moldstigahaugen. And while the trail almost disappeared when crossing one or two wet areas, and the trail markers were anything but frequent, the trail did make it relatively straightforward to get from Nonkletten to just east of Moldstigahaugen. >>>
