Lilandshaugen

Date:
18.02.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:39h
Distance:
2.6km

My initial plan for the Saturday afternoon had been to travel to Eikelandsosen for a visit of Vetlavardhytto , but due to the recently "improved" bus connection between Bergen and Gjermundshamn (where the earlier direct bus line had been replaced by a three (or thirty-three) minutes transfer at Osøyro), I ended up missing the bus from Osøyro to Eikelandsosen by less than two minutes and quickly had to come up with a plan B. Two minutes later I was therefore on the first bus back to Lagunen. Here I switched to the tram to Flesland and after this long detour I was finally ready for the short walk to the top of Lilandshaugen . Interestingly, Lilandshaugen has to be the Bergen summit with the largest sign, i.e. the infamous "BERGEN?" sign welcoming visitors as they exit the main terminal at Flesland. >>>

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:10h
Distance:

I took the bus to Fonnes and from there followed the suggested roundtrip via Vardetangen and Årvika. Overall a very nice hike along either roads with limited traffic or gravel-covered hiking paths. Excellent views along the way and from the westernmost mainland point in Norway . Highly recommended!

Skulehaugen and Orrtuvatnet

Date:
31.12.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
0:41h
Distance:
2.9km

When the final day of 2022 turned out to be a rather gray one, I opted for a short hike to visit yet another small hill recently added to the Alle topper i Bergen list, namely Skulehaugen . Skulehaugen was easily accessible from southeast without getting too close to the nearest house just to the north of the summit. Afterwards, the hike was concluded by a walk around Orrtuvatnet before returning to Fyllingsdalen terminal.
