With a weather forecast including potential afternoon thunderstorms, I decided to stay relatively local and at low altitude. The result was a return to Hausdalen for a visit of yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . After getting off the bus at "Samdal sag" I shortly continued north along the main road before following the tractor road to south towards Ulvvatnet. Just before the bridge at the northwestern end of Ulvvatnet, I left the tractor road and followed a deer track across the stream to connect with an older tractor road took me very close to Skora . All that remained was a short off-trail ascent to the highest point. I descended via various deer tracks until reconnecting with the old tractor road and then followed the same route back to the main road. With rolling thunder in the distance, >>>

After another early breakfast, I checked out of Skånevik Fjordhotel and left behind most of my luggage to be picked up at the end of the hike. I started following the road east before turning southeast and ascending Åsheimsvegen. When the gravel road forked west of Valdra I crossed Valdraelva via a bridge and continued on a tractor road until it came to an end near a couple of cabins close to Måsahaugen. Just as I was about to start on the route taking me up to the uppermost cabin called Takhaug, I spotted the one thing that I'd rather not see just before setting out on a longer off-trail part of a hike: a viper slithering away to my left. Hoping that more were not hiding in the tall gras, I continued across a wet area before following the weak traces of a tractor road that seemed to be more used by ATVs. When >>>

Aksdalsneset to Skånevik

19,5km

After arriving late in Skånevik the day before and spending the night at Skånevik Fjordhotel , I got up early to catch the 08:30 bus from Skånevik to Aksdalsneset. Note that the bus had to be ordered by calling Skyss at least one day in advance. Also, it was not actually a bus, but a rather a taxi. In other words, if you have not called in advance, you may risk being left behind at the bus stop, or that there is no taxi showing up in the first place. I got dropped off at Aksdalsneset from where I had come across a hiking suggestion at ut.no indicating what looked like a nice route to the summit of Børkjenesnuten . First I followed a gravel road that quickly turned into a tractor road taking me up to the unmarked trailhead. The start of the trail was easy to miss but after crossing a wet area early on it was overall straightforward to follow until getting near Vasstølsvatnet. Here the trail turned >>>

Short late evening stroll after travelling from Bergen to spend the weekend hiking in Skånevik. A journey that turned out much longer than expected given that the boat I was supposed to transfer to at Leirvik had technical issues. Those of us travelling to Skånevik therefore instead had to stay on the boat from Bergen one more stop to Sunde. There we were promised that a taxi would be waiting for to drive us to Utåker such that we could catch the next ferry to Skånevik. The ferry had even agreed to delay its departure by five minutes, which would have been just enough, if the taxi had been there when we got off the boat. It was not, and when it finally arrived the ferry had already left Utåker. As a result, we ended up with almost two hours waiting for the next ferry at Utåker. On the >>>

On yet another very warm day, I decided to escape some of the heat by heading up to Finse to visit two relatively recent additions to the Hordaland ≥ 100m pf. list , both of which had been upgraded due to more accurate LiDAR data more accurate data. First up was Storetunga . After getting off the train at Finse, I headed southeast along Rallarvegen before later leaving the gravel road and heading off-trail towards the summit. Besides some enjoying undergrowth early on, the terrain was generally easy to travers and the summit was reached without any difficulties. After a break next to the summit cairn to take in the excellent views, I returned along the same route to Rallarvegen before crossing the river along a small bridge underneath the larger railroad bridge and starting my ascent of Vetle Hansbunuten . There were a couple of small cairns in the area around the bridge >>>

Short walk along Barsnesfjorden before the drive back to Bergen. (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)
