Short evening hike to visit three minor peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by taking the bus to Sandeide terminal, from where I first walked along the roads towards the summit of Varden . Reaching the summit itself only required a minor detour from the road, partly along a weak trail, but as the summit is almost in someone’s backyard, and provides no views at all, a visit cannot really be recommended. With what I hoped would be the worst part of the hike out of the way, I returned to the road and easily located the unmarked trail taking me down and alongside Gjeddevatnet, the clear highlight of the hike. The trail continued towards Allestadhaugen , but gradually got weaker and pretty much disappeared when I got close to the summit (I even lost the trail when crossing a wet area earlier on as well). Limited views from >>>

Short hike on a gray and wet Sunday for a visit of Kråkåsen . The indicated trails to Kråkåsen from the east were blocked by a construction site. I therefore first followed the marked trail for Smøråsfjellet before heading north towards the summit. There are some trails indicated here as well, but either I missed them or they are rather weak and wet. Kråkåsen is dominated by overhead power lines and is probably not a summit that most hikers will feel the need to visit. From the summit I continued north along a much better trail that took me all the way to the houses north of the small hill. Clearly the recommended route to and from Kråkåsen. When getting to the main road, I still had plenty of time for the bus, and therefore decided on a detour via Birkelandsvatnet, as the map indicated a trail >>>

When the rain showers finally stopped (or so I thought), I went for a hike in Fyllingsdalen to visit three small hills on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by walking south from the bus stop outside Løvstakktunnelen to Barliveien, where I located a trail/deer track taking me to the summit of Skjenhaugane . After returning along the same route, I continued to Lauvåsen , which only required a very short detour from the paved shortcut south of the summit, and there was even a path for this final part as well. Much better views than from Skjenhaugane and there was no feeling of trespassing (which can often be the case for these hills in between houses). I continued north where I located an unmarked trail that seemed to be heading in the direction of Eikhaugen . The trail however soon turned north instead, but I stayed on the trail for a while >>>

Salsborg from Skjelevika

1:36h
Entfernung:
4,1km

After having abandoned the more direct trail from Øykjafjellet to Salsborg , and instead descended back to the main road for the short cycling trip to the marked trailhead for Salsborg, I again left the bike behind and started my ascent to Salsborg on foot. Unlike the trail to Øykjafjellet, the trail to Salsborg was marked all the way from the trailhead. It started out relatively steep, but levelled off before reaching the overhead power lines and shortly after turned west towards the summit. Later there was also a sign for the trail to Øykjafjellet, but again the trail seemed rather weak, and I did not regret my choice from earlier. Note that the large cairn is not at the summit itself, but rather 75 meters southwest of the summit. However, the trail more or less passes by the summit on the way to the cairn. Both locations provided excellent panoramic views and Salsborg is clearly worth >>>

After arriving at the marked trailhead for Øykjafjellet at Flakkavågen, I left my bike at the start of the trail and continued on foot towards the summit. Note that while the sign at the trailhead was easy to locate, the start of the trail was a bit more hidden due to the uncut grass. It started out as a short tractor road, but quickly turned into an initially unmarked trail that, with the exception of it splitting once or twice early on, could be followed all the way to the summit without any difficulties. When getting to the valley northeast of the summit, a came across the first sign for Øykjafjellet, and from there on there were even some trail markers. The summit itself provided excellent views, however they were a bit limited by the low-hanging clouds not yet having lifted completely. At the summit there were hiking signs for >>>

Yet another cycling trip to Tysnes, this time with the goal of visiting Øykjafjellet and Salsborg . Once again I used the highly recommended trick of bringing my bike with me on the high-speed ferry to Malkenes and thus started my cycling from there. After about 1.5 hours of cycling, I arrived at the marked trailhead for Øykjafjellet in Flakkavågen. Here I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot. See the separate trip report: Øykjafjellet from Flakkavågen . Upon returning to my bike, I cycled southwest along the road to the marked trailhead for Salsborg, where I again left the bike and started the ascent on foot. See the separate trip report: Salsborg from Skjelevika . When later returning to the trailhead I had to decide whether to continue southwest to Hodaneset, and from there follow the road north to Våge, or return to Onarheim for the route >>>
