Litlefjellet

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:33h
Distance:
3.6km

I left my bike just north of the crossroads north of Storevatnet and followed the tractor road north and then south until it came to an end. Here there was a marked trail taking me all the way to the summit of Litlefjellet , or rather to the cairn 60 meters west of the summit . Excellent views from the cairn, especially down to Andvika. On my way to the summit I also made a quick visit of the third small hill just to the north. After a late lunch break, I descended along the same route. In summary, an excellent short hike with great views that can be very highly recommend.

Skjeggedalsfjellet via Skjeggedalen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:01h
Distance:
5.6km

After cycling from Masfjordnes to Lund , I left the bike behind and continued southeast along the tractor road up to the final house at Skjeggedalen. While the farm houses at Lund where all in a sorry state, the large building in Skjeggedalen seemed to be in good condition. Before the hike I had read Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's trip report where he mentions a possible trail from Skjeggedalen to Skeidalssetra (although he also mentioned that he saw little traces of it himself). No signs or trail markers from Skjeggedalen as far as I could tell, hence I simply start off-trail in the direction of the summit. Here I found what looked like weak traces of a trail but concluded that they were most likely just deer tracks. I was therefore rather surprised when suddenly coming across a relatively new red trail marker! The trail was still very weak but soon there were >>>

Cycling: Skjeggedalsfjellet and Litlefjellet

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
7:01h
Distance:
24.3km

After getting off the bus at Masfjorden ( after first cycling to Knarvik ), it was time for the second stage of my plan: cycling northeast to Andvika and then north to Lund/Skjeggedalen. I started at 09:25 and arrived at the start of the tractor road up to Skjeggedalen about an hour later after a very enjoyable ride along the fjord. The road was paved until shortly after Ådnekvamme where it turned into a single-lane gravel road that probably does not see too many cars. My initial plan had been to cycle all the way to the final house in Skjeggedalen, but the quality of tractor road up from the fjord made me change my mind and instead leave the bike behind and continued on foot for the ascent to Skjeggedalsfjellet . Back at the bike, I returned to Andvika from where I started the ascent to Litlefjellet . First, along a paved road that later turned into a gravel road. At Storevatnet I forked >>>

Bike trip - road
Duration:
14:01h
Distance:
50.5km

As the first part of my three-stage plan to ascend Skjeggedalsfjellet and Litlefjellet in Masfjorden I got up early Saturday morning and was out the door and on my bike cycling to Knarvik shortly after 06:00. This enabled me to catch the first bus from Knarvik to Ostereidet for the connecting bus to Masfjordnes. In fact, it turned out to be the same bus, hence I did not have to load and unload my bike at Ostereidet. The bus was of a slightly older model with less room than usual for bikes and trolleys, however, as I was the only passenger for the whole ride this was fortunately not an issue. At 09:25 I got off the bus at Masfjordnes, the final stop of this particular bus, and cycled northeast towards Andvika. Given the long bus ride in the middle of the trip, I made a separate report for the cycling in Masfjorden . There are also separate trip reports for the ascents >>>
