Recovery, day 1: Across Hellen festning

3,1km

Halfway through my Saturday hike in Sveio , it became clear that something was just not right. I did not have the normal energy level and even this relatively short hike was much harder than it ought to be. The flu-like symptoms increased during the evening and by the Sunday morning there was no doubt: this Easter holiday would not turn out as planed... Days of skiing in Sogndal were instead replaced by long days on the couch interspersed with nights of little to no quality sleep. The complete loss of smell and taste did not help either. Only after 4.5 days did I managed to muster enough energy to just barely push myself across Hellen festning.

I started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Sveio and got off at Hanaleitet. This put me directly north of my first goal, namely Lierfjellet . After a short walk up the gravel road of Hanalio, I arrived at the trailhead for Lierfjellet. The trailhead itself was unmarked, i.e. no sign, but there were plenty of red painted markers to follow. Lots of wet and muddy sections early on, however this soon improved. (By following this marked trail, one also avoids the borderline trespassing via the two houses at the end of Hanalio that some other hikers seem to have used.) The red markers were not always the easiest to spot, although this was at least partly due to walking towards the low sun. There were also the occasional patches of ice that had to be navigated, but overall the summit was reached without >>>

Given the excellent weather, we decided to take the day off and go skiing in Myrkdalen. Several of my colleagues initially wanted to join, but for different reasons, and due to one last minute cancellation, only three of us were on the 08:29 train from Bergen to Voss. We had bought something called a SkiBillett , which included the trains to/from Voss, the ski bus to/from Myrkdalen (which is free anyway) and a one day lift pass, saving around 300 kr per person compared to buying these items separately. After arriving at Myrkdalen, two of us decided to first make an ascent of Finnbunuten . We started by taking the chair lift "Myrkdalsekspressen" from just outside the hotel and, after a short descent, continued on the T-bar lift "Kari Traa-trekket". Here the GPS was turned on and we headed off-trail >>>

I had initially only planed to go skiing on the Saturday , but when Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) texted me and asked if I wanted to go skiing on Sunday as well, it only required a quick look at the excellent weather forecast to change my mind. We decided on having a go at the toll road up to Geilane as this should give us easy access to both Blåvasshorgi and Kringdalsnipa , with an added bonus of Hatlekinni for Endre ( which I had already visited once before ). After paying the 50 kr toll via Vipps at Horvei/Horveid, we followed the steep gravel road to the upper parking lot at Rørgostølen. As expected this parking lot was mainly a private parking lot but there were a couple of guest spots as well. We quickly put on the climbing skins and could then start skiing directly from the car. The snow was quite hard and icy at the start but as we got higher up this greatly improved and from there on we had near perfect snow conditions for the rest of the >>>

For my first trip with petter (Petter Bjørstad) in over half a year, we settled on two summits north of Oppheimsvatnet: Valafjellet and Åsknappen . We had hoped to gain some elevation by driving up the toll road in Oppheimsdalen , but when all of the parking lots early on were marked as private (also confirmed by a local driving a tractor), we abandoned this plan and returned to the start of the toll road where there was room for a couple of cars outside of the private parking areas. Here we put on the climbing skins and started skiing directly from the car. We quickly realized that we would not have been able to drive much further anyway, as the road was soon covered by more snow than we would have been able to drive through. When the road forked right for the third time, we left the road up Oppheimsdalen and turned east, following another road until getting to >>>

After the hike to Stussvikhovda and Aldalsnuten , we drove the short distance to the crossroads just east of the start of Stussvikhovdatunnelen. Here we found parking at what Skyss refers to as Stussvikhovda snuplass and after a short walk north along the main road we were ready to start the ascent to Nesbjørghovda (which is incorrectly named Nesbjørhovda on PB). While most hikers seem to start their trip to Nesbjørghovda from Teiga southwest of the summit, and do not speak to highly of the route, I had come across a promising external trip report (scroll down until you find Nesbjørghovda) talking about a marked trail from the main road to the south. This would allow us to follow tractor roads for the first 2.5 km (blocked with a chain across the road early on), leaving only around 1 km on a marked trail to the summit. The first part was straightforward and we soon arrived >>>

When initial plans to go skiing in Bergsdalen were cancelled due to increased avalanche risk and overall uncertainty about the snow conditions, we decided to instead take the ferry to Tysnes to hike at the Kvinnherad/Bjørnafjorden side of Lukksundet. First up was Stussvikhovda and Aldalsnuten . We left the car at the small parking lot at the marked trailhead at Stussvik and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the excellent viewpoint at Stussvikhovda . After a short break we continued north along a weaker, but at least partially marked, trail to the slightly higher Aldalsnuten. We first ascended the northern of the two hills with almost the same height, while I took a short detour on my own to the southern hill on the return. The southern hill had several contenders for the highest point, so to be safe I simply visited all of them. Excellent >>>
