Larslibua, Steinsfjellet and Botlenipa

Date:
29.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:52h
Distance:
8.1km

A short hike at Litlesotra with the main objective of visiting Larslibua . A small cabin on the newly created Dagsturhyttene i Vestland list. I also made a quick visit of the summit of Steinsfjellet , although my ascent required more fighting with the low vegetation than expected. The descent route was slightly better. I had also planned to visit Ørnanipa , but as I failed to locate the trailhead (probably due to the snow?), I instead went for a revisit of Botlenipa , before returning to the main road and the bus back to Bergen.

Skåldalsnipa, Grøna and Sælinga

Date:
26.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:10h
Distance:
7.8km

A return to Skåldalsnipa with the main goal of doing a small detour to also visit Grøna , a minor summit on the Utvalgte topper og turmål i Bergen list. On the return, I also made a quick stop at Sælinga in order to add a picture from the summit (which I had not done on my last visit due it then being too dark). The trails to/from Skåldalsnipa were partially covered by ice, but most of it could be pretty easily avoided.

Lauvtonipa from Storevatnet

Date:
19.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:16h
Distance:
12.4km

Another return to Masfjorden and Storevatnet (and the bus stop called Nedre Storavatn), but this time walking west along the road towards Haugsdal with the goal being a visit of Lauvtonipa . After about 3.5 km on the road, I arrived at Bjørnekletten where I from previous trip reports knew that there should be a trail that could take me up to the valley between Lauvtonipa and Furhogen. The trailhead was unmarked, but, again thanks to previous trip reports, it could be easily located. The trail started out rather weak and wet, but this soon improved and later on the trail could overall be followed without any real problems. Note that the trail is most likely harder to spot at other times of the year though, i.e. when it is covered tall grasses and ferns, as it is clearly not a very frequently used trail. >>>

Høyvikåsen and Hetlevikåsen

Date:
18.12.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:59h
Distance:
3.4km

Another gray and foggy Saturday. In other words, perfect for a short hike to two minor summits in Vadmyra/Hetlevik. Thanks to knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's recent trip reports, both summits were relatively easy to access, with Høyvikåsen even having a weak trail that could be followed all the way to the summit. For Hetlevikåsen , I however opted for the minor bush fight from the road/trail to the east to avoid getting too close to the houses to the west. From the summit of Hetlevikåsen, I returned to the same trail/road and followed it down to Gamle Mathopsveien, before heading north to Loddefjord terminal and the bus home. Overall, not the most exciting hike to two minor summits that I expect do not have many visitors.
