Storehaug from Resaland

Date:
11.07.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:43h
Distance:
1.8km

On a day with rain showers reported to start from the early afternoon, we decided to go for a couple of easy summits that also did not require lots of driving. First up was Storehaug in Luster . We parked at Resaland p-plass right next to the unmarked trailhead and followed a tractor road almost all the way to the summit. From there, the large summit cairn was easily reached via a weak unmarked trail. Limited views from the summit due to all the trees which were not made any better by the dense fog. We therefore did not stay long before returning the same way to the car. Upon returning to the car we also made an attempt to visit the viewpoint at Feivall/Feivollfjellet but failed to find any routes that did not seem to include trespassing private property and thus gave up and instead continued to Bondehaug .

Eikjabu from Mollandsmarki

Date:
08.07.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:57h
Distance:
11.0km

Warning: While this route (mostly) follows a marked trail, the markers can be difficult to spot. The terrain is also steep with a couple of exposed sections that may not be to everyone's liking. In other words, read the report carefully. Given its location alongside Lustrafjorden, the easiest route to Eikjabu is definitely by boat or kayak. We had however come across a suggested hiking route from Mollandsmarki that we wanted to try. Luster DNT had even organized a trip along this route earlier this year . Additional information was also gathered from an earlier post from 2019 which also included a link with more pictures and a basic map . Unsure of whether there would be any parking at the trailhead, we decided to park at Krossen p-plass and walk from there. (As it turned out, this was unnecessary, as it would have been possible to park at or close to the trailhead.) The trailhead contained information about Stuaflåten although there was no >>>

Balabu and Klukkshaug

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:42h
Distance:
4.8km

On the way from Bergen to Sogndal we made a stop at Balestrand for a visit of Balabu . Parking was found at the marked trailhead and from there we could follow a very nice marked trail all the way to the cabin. From Balabu I continued on my own along an unmarked trail to Klukkshaug but must admit that the views there did not really live up to the expectations and I did not stay long before starting my descent.
