Steinfjellet (almost...)

Date:
16.06.2024
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:23h
Distance:
5.5km

On the way home from a weekend in Myrkdalen we stopped at Gullbotn for a quick ascent of Steinfjellet . This however turned out more complicated than expected and was abandoned less than 250 meters from the summit. The reason being a steep area that we did not want to attempt climbing, especially given the wet conditions. We probably could have found an alternative route, but given that this was only going to be a short hike, we instead returned to the car, leaving the final ascent for another day.

Svolefjellet from Myrkdalen

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:05h
Distance:
14.2km

When my sister and her family drove to Voss where my youngest nephew was going to take part in Voss Cup, me and my dad wanted to first go for a hike and decided on Svolefjellet . Based on information from myrkdalen.no I had located a marked trail to Svoleset from the valley north of Svolefjellet and assumed that we would not have any issues reaching the summit from there. After crossing the main road we followed a gravel road east to Bygdastølen where we crossed the river Kvanndølen via a bridge and continued on a newer and not yet fully set gravel road on the other side of the river. At this point we had come by two trail signs for Svoleset. The first was laying on the ground next to the gate at Bygdastølen, and the second was pointing at a trail stub that quickly came to an end just as the mentioned new gravel road started. We were >>>

Tuftalandsfjellet from Tveit

Date:
13.06.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:49h
Distance:
3.1km

After our successful visit of Ramnaberget , Endre and I drove the short distance north to Tveit p-plass for a visit of Tuftalandsfjellet . I had already visited Tuftalandsfjellet four years earlier , but then ascending from the south. This time we followed a new gravel road from the northeast that would take us almost all the way to the summit, except for a short section at the end were we followed the same trail as for my previous visit. Another change was also the new Kveldsturhytta right next to the summit. A big improvement compared to my last visit. After a short break in the cabin we returned the same way to the parking lot and drove back to Sandviksvåg for the ferry back to Bergen. Takk for turen, Endre!

Ramnaberget

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:06h
Distance:
3.8km

Ever since I ascended Sætrafjellet almost two years ago, Ramnaberget had been the only peak left on the Fitjar ≥ 100m pf. list , mainly due to only being accessible by boat. But based on our recent successful boat trips to Storhaugen på Seløy and Skorpo , I was confident that we should be able to find someone to transport us this time as well. In the end it turned out that Kjell had a relative with a cabin not too far from the island of Fonno and he would be happy to transport us there with his boat. Kjell drove south to Fitjar earlier in the day to meet up with his relative, that also happened to be named Kjell, while Endre and I left Bergen after work and met up with the two Kjells in Fitjar shortly before six for the short boat ride to Fonno. Upon arriving at the island we were dropped off at Sørfonno and from there could simply follow the roads all the way to the summit. >>>

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:31h
Distance:
9.1km

During the drive south from the ascent of Merkesholten , the rain had picked up in intensity and when we parked next to Nordbygda skule we even waited a couple of minutes in the car with the hope that the conditions would improve. But in the end we could not wait all day and left the car to start the final hike of the day. As it later turned out it would not take long before the rain would stop anyway. After a short walk west along the main road we crossed the road and located the marked trailhead for Hatten . From there it was simply a matter of following the winding marked trail all the way to the summit, or rather to a vantage point just west of the summit. The summit, or maybe more correctly the summit area, as there were at least three potential highest points to choose from, was located around 50 meters to the east. After >>>
