Four summits south of Maurangerfjorden

Date:
13.09.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
8:29h
Distance:
18.0km

Warning: This hike includes steep and rugged terrain. Please read the report carefully before deciding whether this is a hike for you. On a Sunday where the weather turned out much better than expected, Endre and I drove to Kvinnherad for an attempt at ascending four summits south of Maurangerfjorden. We found parking next to the gravel road at Kroka and could therefore start our hike from very close to the marked trailhead. The trail itself was marked with orange dots and took us relatively easy up to Heimadalen where the terrain levelled off. Before this, there were however several sections with some exposure that may not be to everyone's liking, although there were wires and ropes that could be used for extra safety. When the trail continued towards Krokasætret, we instead headed off-trail to >>>

Saksaklepp and Veranuten

Date:
30.08.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:50h
Distance:
13.7km

Petter and Fredrik picked me up at my place shortly after seven for the drive to Tørvikbygd and the ferry to Jondal. After crossing the fjord, we ascended to Dravladalsvatnet where we parked next to the marked trailhead for Saksaklepp and were shortly on our way up the well-marked trail towards the summit. Due to a relatively dense fog, the minor detour to Bjørnafetet was skipped, and a short descent later we could begin the final ascent to the summit, which was reached without any issues. From Saksaklepp we continued off-trail in the direction of Veranuten , largely following in the footsteps of Guttorm and his GPS track from 2023 , with some minor adjustments. This resulted in an overall straightforward route, and while the north face of Veranuten looked steep from a distance, it was actually relatively easy to find a route that was neither exposed nor very >>>

Gjønakvitingen from Gjøn

Date:
26.08.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
9:24h
Distance:
12.7km

On what would most likely turn out to be one of the last days of proper summer this time around, I managed to convince two of my colleagues (one former and one current) to join me on a hike to Gjønakvitingen , a peak that had been on my list for a while, but that is not easy to get to without a car. We left Bergen a bit after nine and after a drive of less than 1.5 hours we arrived at Gjøn where we parked at the first small parking lot marked for hikers and were ready to start hiking shortly after half past ten. I had read that there was an information sign at the trailhead and a marked trail all the way to the summit. We however failed to locate both the trailhead and the marked trail. With the 5G coverage also being far from perfect, and with no people around to ask, I largely had to rely on memory and went for the tractor road winding its way up >>>

Storeflåtten from Bjotveit

Date:
23.08.2026
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
8:26h
Distance:
22.7km

After taking the train to Voss, I continued by bus to Bjotveit. Here I got off at the stop “Indre Bjotveit”, which put me directly at the start of the route to Storeflåtten . I started by following a side road up to a small cluster of buildings at Ytre Bjotveit before continuing on an older tractor road via Mjølstølen to connect with a newer tractor road coming up from Mjøstølsviki (around 1.3 km further west). This new road however quickly came to an end and from there I began on the largely unmarked trail to Vatnasetevatnet. The trail was overall easy to follow, although for the final section it was not always straightforward to locate the next cairn, which at this point were partly marked by a combination of faded red T's and newer pink dots. Note that early on the trail crosses Bjotveitelvi which >>>
