Samlen from Herand

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:36h
Distance:
15.5km

Started by taking an early bus from Bergen to Norheimsund to catch the express boat at 09:00. While the boat continued all the way to Eidfjord, I got off at the first stop and was finally ready to begin my ascent of Samlen from Herand shortly before 09:30. To get to the trailhead east of the summit, I followed the paved road northeastward for roughly an hour. At the trailhead I was welcomed by a message that the trail to Samlen had gotten a new starting point in relation to Hardangertrappa (a new route including stone steps that is in the process of being completed). Hoping that the sign did not indicate that the older trail was no longer usable, I continued my ascent, and while the trail was a bit steep and rough at times, it was overall straightforward to follow. In any case, it did not take very long before the two trails connected, >>>

Manen from Pallane

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:17h
Distance:
7.4km

When my plans to spend the first of May skiing at Finse had to be postponed due to bad weather, I instead left work early the day before for a trip to Kvinnherad with Petter . We drove south from Bergen and made the 16:10-ferry from Gjermundshamn with plenty of time to spare. After crossing the fjord we drove the short distance south to the start of Uskedalen where we parked next to the marked trailhead at Pallane in Eikevegen and were ready to start our hike to Manen shortly after five. We began by following a tractor road up to the start of the marked trail. The trail was however at first rather weak and we quickly lost it. But after a couple of minutes we found it again and from there on it was straightforward to follow it all the way to the summit. Note however that the trail seems to end at a large cairn that is not at the highest point. The summit >>>

Hillesdalsfjell and Håfjell

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
14.6km

Kjell picked me up at 06:50 for the short drive to meet up with Petter and from his place we all continued in Petter's car to Gjermundshamn for the 09:00-ferry to Årsnes. After crossing the fjord, we drove south via Rosendal to Matre and Matersdalen where we found parking next to the road and were finally ready to start hiking shortly after 10:00. From the car we briefly descended back down the paved road before ascending south along a tractor road up to Vadtjørnane. Here we aimed for Hillesdalsfjell and pretty much followed a straight line towards the summit. We did spot one or two red trail markers on the way, but these were quite faint and of the trail itself we did not really see much evidence. Hence the route has to be described as off-trail but still straightforward and without any real challenges. After a couple >>>
