Stovegolvet from Grov

Date:
24.01.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:02h
Distance:
17.8km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent that can potentially be dangerous under certain winter conditions. Read the report carefully. A return to Stord to ascend Stovegolvet and visit the DNT cabin with the same name . After taking the bus (and ferry) to Stord I had planned to get off at Grov, however the bus driver failed to notice that I had pressed the stop button and I ended up with an extra kilometer warm up along Grovavegen before arriving at my intended starting point. I began by following the same route southwest to Lundsetervegen as for my trip to Steingilshøgda, Klovfjellet and Budalsfjellet and continued along the paved road to the large parking lot at Lundseter where I easily located the marked trailhead. From the trailhead I followed the marked trail northwest before turning east and beginning the steep ascent towards the summit. It quickly became apparent that this part of the ascent would be much more challenging >>>

Hovåsene from Fortunbakkane

Date:
18.01.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.3km

Short hike on a gray and foggy Sunday with the objective of visiting Hovåsen and Hovåsen Sør , two recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . I used a similar route as for last year’s visit of Nordre Gamletjørnhaugen , although in the opposite order. After following the marked trail via Nordre Gamletjørnhaugen , I left it shortly after Lillianbrekko and headed off-trail via various deer tracks to the summits of Hovåsen Sør and Hovåsen. At Hovåsen Sør there was a trig bolt and a view down to Kismul Skyte- og friluftssenter (closed on Sundays, except for special events, according to their web page). There may also be ok views from Hovåsen but these were all hidden by the fog. The easiest choice would now probably have been to return to the trail but given the short distance to the road to the north, I decided to head directly in that direction. This did not present any real challenges but was also the least enjoyable part >>>

Grønafjellet, Folldalshaugane and Linken

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
10.8km

A return to Folldalshaugane and Linken/Lyseskarfjellet with the objective of also visiting Grønafjellet . Started from the bus stop "Rød sør" and at first followed the same route as for my visit of Rødsaksla . Ended up following this route for a too long though and had to backtrack. In my defense the trails were covered by both snow and ice, however towards Grønafjellet there was a single set of footprints leading the way. I was surprised to be able to follow a trail marked with small cairns for the final section to the larger summit cairn at Grønafjellet. Excellent views from the highest point and well worth a visit. After returning to the trail, or rather the footprints, I followed it/them east to connect with the main trail which I then followed via Folldalshaugane to Linken. The descent to the main road contained lots of ice and would have been >>>
