Melstveitåsen and Økterberg from Fyksesundvegen via Berge

Date:
28.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:47h
Distance:
9.3km

Earlier trip reports indicate that the summit of Melstveitåsen is a location that most hikers will probably not feel the need to visit. However, upon researching how to get to Melstveitåsen by public transport, I came across a suggested hike at ut.no promising excellent views from Økterberg , a location only 600 meters northeast of the summit, which I then of course had to add to my planned hike. But even with this addition, and the fact that my hike had to start from the bus stop at the main road, the hike would still be quite short. I therefore decided to add a sightseeing element and arrive at the trailhead via first taking the train to Voss and from there the bus via Granvin. This provided excellent views along the way, especially the drive along the fjords, and as a bonus made it into a roundtrip. Upon finally arriving at the bus stop >>>

Prestakvilet from Ådland kyrkje

Date:
25.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:23h
Distance:
4.8km

After a meeting at Solstrand , me and yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) made a detour on the way back to Bergen for a quick visit of Prestakvilet . We parked outside Ådland kyrkje and from there followed the indicated route. The trail got a bit wet towards the end, in particularly the final few meters to the cabin, but was otherwise straightforward to follow. Limited views for the last half of the hike, although still enjoyable. Prestakvilet was at an excellent location right next to Kvernesvatnet and overall made for a nice trip objective, especially on a day when the weather put a stop to more ambitious plans.

Moldaneset from Solstrand

Date:
24.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:48h
Distance:
5.0km

A revisit of Moldaneset when attending yet another meeting at Solstrand , but this time as an official social event in the program with me showing the way. Thankfully we were lucky with the weather and avoided the rain showers from earlier in the day. The low-hanging clouds even lifted enough so that we could see the snow-capped mountains across the fjord.

Raunelifjellet from Grøssviki

Date:
22.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:45h
Distance:
6.6km

For almost two years, Raunelifjellet had been my only remaining summit on the Osterøy ≥ 100m pf. list . When Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) suggested a joint trip to Raunelifjellet, I therefore of course eagerly agreed. After reading previous trip reports, we decided to go for an ascent from Grøssviki northeast of the summit, thus following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) and arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) . (See their trip reports here and here .) We found parking at the start of a tractor road beginning in the first hairpin turn on the road up from Grøssviki. Plenty of room here for a single car, without blocking neither of the two roads. Here we left the car behind and continued on foot along a tractor road that did not seem to be very frequently used. Soon we left the tractor road behind and continued southwest on a weak road/trail that shortly came to an end. From there on, we followed various deer tracks >>>

Short evening hike with two colleagues, among them yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) , where we followed the standard route from the large new parking lot southeast of the summit. My third visit of Eldsfjellet , but the first to the new "dagsturhytte" called Eldsbu . Windy at the summit and not as much sun as we had hoped but otherwise a very nice short hike.
