Left work early to take advantage of the last part of a warm summer day for a cycling trip to Osavatnet with the goal of visiting Nordnuken , yet another minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list. Shortly after leaving my bike behind where the gravel-covered path ended south of the summit it however became clear that the ascent to Nordnuken did not look very inviting and was not the most compatible with shorts and t-shirt. I therefore changed my plans and instead went for a trip around Svartavatnet with short detours to the minor summits of Smetthaugane , Småhaugane and, with an additional detour via Redningshytten , Store Stuthaugen . Each of the minor summits could easily be reached and only required short detours from the trail. The trail between Smetthaugane and Småhaugane was however quite weak and I ended up losing it when crossing the stream coming down from Glamregjelet >>>

After two days of hiking, I switched to cycling for the last day of the long weekend and I went for a trip to Hjellestad with the added bonus of also making a quick visit of Slettåsen - a minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I left the bike behind at the unmarked trailhead northeast of the summit. The trail quality was highly variable, especially for the later return, but (at least the start) the wet areas were covered by planks or pallets. From Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's trip report , I had gotten the tip to also visit Håsteinen . So when a sign for Håsteinen showed up, I followed a trail to a location that provided great views, especially for only being 45 meters above sea level. Next, I followed various trails towards Slettåsen, even passing a sign for Slettåsen. But there was no trail and the highest point was slightly further south anyway. As it turned >>>

Distanse:
32,2km

Short bike trip with the main objective of visiting Storahugen , yet another new minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. Not much to say about this one. Limited views, but at least it can be easily accessed via a trail from the north. And getting to the trailhead by bike was straightforward, which overall made for a more interesting trip. When at the summit I also noticed that there are plenty of other small named hills in the area. So I have a feeling I'll be coming back when more of these are added to the Alle topper i Bergen list. But given that I had not in advanced looked into whether any of these could be easily accessed or not, this would have to wait.

Cycling: Kalandsvatnet, Tereleitet, Bjørnåsen and Hamresåta

Blandet sykling
Turlengde:

Distanse:
64,7km

Another cycling trip around Kalandsvatnet, this time to visit two new minor summits recently added to the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Bjørnåsen and Hamresåta . Thanks to the recent trip report from knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) , both Bjørnåsen and Hamresåta were now straightforward to get to via trails, and I pretty much followed in the footsteps of Knut Sverre and Astrid. Note that while the trail for Bjørnåsen is marked, I still almost missed the trailhead, as the trail itself was pretty weak. But if you start looking to the right just before the trail reaches Ulvvatnet/Svartavatnet you should able to locate the first trail marker. I left the bike at the trailhead and followed a trail that was, at least at the moment, quite hidden by ferns and tall grasses, but it could still be followed without much difficulty and made it straightforward to reach the summit which, as >>>

Distanse:
79,5km

Sunday cycling trip with the objective of visiting Solbakkefjellet NØ , a recently added minor peak that I had passed close by before but not actually visited. My initial plan had been to cycle via Hauglandsdalen and ascend from Frotveit, but this route was blocked, twice, by a field of grazing horses. I could probably have made my way to the northern trailhead anyway, but I decided to instead head to the alternative trailhead further south. This turned out to be mistake as the gravel roads on the west side of Solbakkefjellet are clearly better suited for horseback riding than cycling, resulting in anything but a comfortable ride. But I finally left the bike behind north of the alternative trailhead and from there continued on foot to the large cairn at Solbakkefjellet, enjoying the excellent views along the way. Just before >>>
