Setreåsen and Kråfjellet

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:30h
Distance:
6.4km

A return to Gullbotn to visit Setreåsen , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . From the bus stop I first followed the gravel road to south of the summit where the map indicated a trail heading north. But while there may have been a trail here at some point, this was no longer the case and there were only weak traces that looked more like deer tracks. It was still pretty easy to complete the final short distance to the highest point, but as it provided very limited views I did not stay long before returning the same way. In order to make the hike a bit longer, I decided to also include my first ascent of Kråfjellet . This included first following the usual route towards Gullfjelltoppen and then heading off-trail to the summit. Or so I thought. Upon arriving at Mannaleittørna I however came across small cairns and a weak trail that led me >>>

Kvannto from Rosendal via Kvitegga

Date:
16.06.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:07h
Distance:
16.7km

I took the day off to enjoy what seemed like the last day of nice weather for a while. Started by taking the boat from Bergen to Rosendal. Upon arriving, I first walked south along the road to Seimshagen (separate cycling and walking paths all the way), before easily locating the marked trailhead for Kvitegga (Kviteggjo on the signs) towards the end of Seimshamrane. There were several signs at the start to show the way up to Seimsakla where there was a nice viewpoint with views back towards Rosendal. Until this point, the trail had been relatively steep but never exposed or turning into scrambling. At Seimsakla the terrain tuned less steep and soon I also left most of the trees behind, with the bonus of even better views. The final ascent to Kvitegga was straightforward and did not present any challenges >>>

Cycling: Siglingabu

Date:

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
5:22h
Distance:
61.2km

The second trip to Askøy in less than a week. I had planned to take the boat from Strandkaien to Kleppestø, but when discovering that there was no boat on Sundays, I changed to plan B and instead first cycled to the city center and then brought the bike with me on the bus. I got off at the first stop after Askøybroen, started the GPS-tracking, and began the long ride north to Siglingavatnet for a visit of the recently opened Siglingabu . To avoid the worst traffic, I followed the roads on the east side of the island. This resulted in a very nice bike trip. The only exception being the final stretch along Åsebøvegen to the large parking lot for Siglingavatnet friluftspark . Here the traffic was more intense. Then it was simply a matter of following a gravel road the rest of the way to Siglingabu. After a short break outside the cabin I continued northwest along >>>

A return to Bønestoppen for a visit of Knultrane , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . The short hike turned out to be a positive surprise with a nice trail across the ridge and good views from near the highest point. Continuing to Gullsteinen and Løvstakken was abandoned due to it started raining.

Kollevågen and Vardneshaugane

Date:

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:03h
Distance:
3.9km

Short detour to Vardneshaugane while attending a rather wet barbeque at Kollevågen, although thankfully under a large protective roof. Managed to convince two of my colleagues to join the hike, although they turned back before the highest point due to the rather wet and muddy trail.
