Gamlehaugen

Date:
02.10.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:33h
Distance:
6.4km

Gamlehaugen , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list, had its first registered visit by Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) three weeks ago, but as his trip report was not yet available, except for a picture of the highest point, I had no previous information to base my visit on. After first exploring the areas south and west of the summit, including a detour to Konsulbukta , I finally found a route to the summit that did not require any climbing. From the small building northeast of the summit there was actually an old trail leading all the way to the highest point, which could thus be reached without any issues. Note: I did not visit the summit three times as indicated above, however it seems like all my "close encounters" are shown as well.

Across Hellen festning (instead of hiking at Finse...)

Date:
01.10.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:36h
Distance:
3.1km

After having to abandon my second hike at Finse due to bad weather I was just about ready leave the hotel when getting the message that my train to Bergen was cancelled as well. Thankfully I managed to (yet again) change my ticket and get a seat on the next train and thus only had to wait another 1.5 hours before finally being on my way home. But at least this gave me ample of time to look at the pouring rain and dense fog outside, making it clear that my decision of not going hiking today was the right one. When arriving in Bergen the sun was yet again shining, but by now it was too late for a proper hike, and I simply ended up with a short walk across Hellen festning.
