Saurås søyle

Date:

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:26h
Distance:
1.5km

Still very low on energy after two nights of little sleep due to a cold. More ambitious hiking plans were therefore replaced by a quick visit of Saurås søyle . Or at least that was the plan, but just as I got close to the trig marker it suddenly started pouring down and I had to run to find shelter. After waiting for several minutes, I gave up and returned to the bus stop at Åsamyrane. But at least I got close enough to take a picture of the trig marker.

Stemmedalshaugane from Fjelltveit

Date:
21.07.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:15h
Distance:
7.0km

I took the bus to Fjelltveit in Hauglandsdalen and from there followed a relatively new gravel road up towards Stemmedalshaugane , making sure to include a stop at the excellent views at Smogakampen . Before getting to Frotveitvatnet, I left the gravel road and crossed Frotveitelva via a wooden bridge and continued east along a weak and wet trail to the highest point at Stemmedalshaugane. I had originally considered doing a roundtrip similar to Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) (see his trip report here ), but given the wet conditions I instead returned the same way. Interestingly, at the summit I noticed the first red trail markers, red paint on the tree trunks, and for the descent I was actually able to follow these more or less all the way to the bridge.

On my way home from the trip to Marietoppen I made a short stop in Fjøsanger for a visit of Litla Langafjellet søyle . It could be easily reached via a trail crossing over the small hill. Afterwards I continued northeast to Kristianborg before taking Bybanen to the Bergen city center.

Short hike in Fana with the main objective of visiting Marietoppen . Limited views from the summit but lots of traces from World War II . The summit area could be reached from the south without any trespassing. After descending the same way I continued north along Fanafjorden.

Characteristic:
Hillwalk

A return to Smøråsfjellet to visit Bjørnevasskletten . When in the area I also passed by Storhaugen, Litlafjellet and Revhaugen, in addition to a revisit of Hamrefjellet , just in case any of these will be added as their own PB-elements in the future. Missed the bus at Valle by a couple of minutes and ended up walking to the Bybane stop at Skjoldskiftet.

Vetlavardhytto from Eikelandsosen terminal

Date:
14.07.2023
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:08h
Distance:
6.7km

After 4.5 hours on the boat from Sogndal to Bergen the day before, I was not really up for a long hike today. However, the nice weather had to be utilized as it seemed like it would be the last nice day in quite some time. In the end, I settled on Vetlavardhytto in Eikelandsosen . My previous attempt at visiting this cabin had been unsuccessful due to a too short bus connection at Osøyro, hence my current travelling plan added five additional minutes in Osøyro and, combined with less traffic during the summer holiday season, I made the bus to Eikelandsosen without any issues. At Eikelandsosen I followed the roads to the marked start of the trail to Vetlavardhytto and crossed the river on a new bridge to start the ascent. The trail was marked with red paint and initially followed the river. Soon the trail markers however changed from red paint to small pieces >>>
