Byrseteggi from Bjørgum to Gjerdåker

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:12h
Distance:
24.6km

Started by taking the train to Voss where I switched to bus and continued southeast in the direction of Granvin and getting off at the bus stop called Bjørgum. From there I followed the roads up to Fennastølen for the real start of the hike. The weather had gradually improved during the ascent, such that when I started the final off-trail ascent to Byrseteggi most of the clouds had disappeared and I could fully enjoy the beautiful fall colors. The map indicated a trail heading north from Fennastølen but I failed to find any traces of such a trail. However, the final ascent was still straightforward and it did not take long before I arrived at the summit of Byrseteggi. It provided excellent panoramic views, and a great overview of Horndalsnuten and the rest of Raundalsryggen to the northeast/east. Even though the >>>

Distance:
24.1km

Ever since my visit of Storås at the end of April, the plans had been ready for a return to Sveio to ascend the four remaining summits on the Sveio ≥ 100m pf. list . Other hikes had however gotten the priority since then but now it was finally time. I started by taking the express bus (and ferry) from Bergen to Sveio where I got off at the stop called Liavegen. From there I followed the smaller roads east towards the first goal of the day: Hovdafjellet . Very limited traffic, which was important given the lack of sidewalks, and great views along the way made this first transportation stage more enjoyable than expected. Upon approaching Hovdafjellet I followed the road until the final house west of the summit. Here I passed through a gate and followed various animal tracks to reach the summit without any issues (except for a barking dog that thankfully >>>

Hillwalk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
6.9km

I left work early to take advantage of the great weather for a revisit of Førdesveten , mainly due to the recently opened dagsturhytte right next to the summit. After taking the bus from the city center, and switching buses at Skogskiftet terminal, I got off at Kleppe from where I followed a nice trail northwest. There was a sign at the trailhead but the trail itself was unmarked, except for the occasional small cairn later on, however the trail was easy to follow and I soon arrived at Kleppaksla . At Kleppaksla there was a visitor register just south of the highest point and excellent views in all directions. From Kleppaksla I continued northeast along the trail until reaching the crossroads south of Førdesveten where I decided to make a short detour to Storevarden before returning and completing the final climb to the summit. The new >>>
