Bergsdalen to Eikedalen

Dato:
13.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
9:11t
Distanse:
29,2km

For the second Saturday in a row I took the train to Dale and the bus to Bergsdalen, but where I last week walked north to Evanger , this time I was heading south to Eikedalen. I got off the bus at the start of the road to Raunehaugen where I soon located the unmarked trailhead for Kjerringafjellet . The trail quality varied quite a lot and except for small cairns (mainly) towards the end it was unmarked. At several points I therefore had to check the GPS to make sure I was heading the right way. Near the summit there was also a boulder obstacle course that had to be traversed. The summit provided great views and a nice location for a short lunch break. In order to next go to Storliknausen I first returned north towards Såta before carefully navigating my way down to the valley between Kjerringafjellet and Storliknausen. This was overall straightforward, >>>

Ulvvatnet

Dato:
11.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:22t
Distanse:
4,8km

Yet another trip to a minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list , this time to Nord for Ulvvatnet . I got off at the bus stop "Samdal sag" and briefly continued northeast along the main road before turning right and following a tractor road to Ulvvatnet. From there I headed off-trail to the summit. The ascent was very wet from the unexpected rain shower from the start of the hike but otherwise straightforward. Very limited views. I descended via deer tracks that disappeared towards the end. The hike was concluded by walking around Ulvvatnet and then returning to the bus stop. Note that while the lake has a tractor road on the west side, the east side only has a wet trail at best, so don't expect to keep your feet dry.

Bjørndalskamben and Sollifjellet

Turlengde:

Distanse:
18,3km

I was lucky to hitch a ride to Kvassdalen and was dropped off next to the unmarked trailhead for Bjørndalen . The first part of the ascent looked very steep but thanks to earlier trip reports, e.g. Arnt 's external trip report , I was pretty sure that it would be ok. As expected, the trail was steep but did not present any real challenges, although it may not be for everyone due to a couple of semi-exposed sections. After the initial steep ascent, the terrain levelled off and I followed a nice trail along the river to Bjørndalen for the first look at Bjørndalskamben . The trail continued south, I however made a detour for better views into Kvassdalen. Upon reconnecting with the trail I did not stay on it for long and instead followed various sheep tracks. There were occasional cairns but no trail as far as I could tell. Closer to the summit, >>>

Bergsdalen to Evanger via Hamlagrøhornet

Dato:
06.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:24t
Distanse:
18,4km

I started by taking the train to Dale and from there the bus up to Bergsdalen where I got off at the start of the gravel road to Alexander Grieghytten . After a quick look at the cabin I continued on a marked trail north towards Evanger. At the top of the pass I however turned right, left the marked trail, and headed off-trail to the summit of Hamlagrøhornet . Here I visited all of the potential highest points (the one just south of the largest cairn seems to be the real summit) before continuing northeast via Såta to Løva . Løva stood out from the rest of the terrain but could still be easily ascended. The unusual rock formations making up the ridge seemed to be very good cairn building material, as there were at least four cairns at or near the summit. After a short lunch break, I descended the same way before heading north and >>>

Karaldenuten roundtrip from Rong

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:07t
Distanse:
12,5km

Sunday hike to Karaldenuten organized by Voss Utferdslag . I started by taking the train to Voss where I met up with the others for the short carpool to Rong. Here we parked next to the road south of Rongastovo just after the road forked for Haugamoen. This was also where we met up with the local guide and after a quick overview of the hike we began our ascent along the gravel road towards Grungavatnet. The gravel road turned into a wet trail before we arrived at the northern end of the lake for the first (and the only real) river crossing of the day. A rope had been put up to simplify the crossing and thus we all made it to the other side almost without getting wet. A steep but relatively short section followed before the terrain turned less steep. There was a marked trail all the way to the summit, although the markers, a combination >>>

Sveningen from Øvredalen to Midsætret

Dato:
26.06.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:43t
Distanse:
15,8km

Ever since a dense fog hid all of the views during our previous visit of Sveningen , I had had plans of repeating the hike under better conditions. Today, seven years later, the day had finally arrived. Once more I managed to convince a couple of colleagues to join but unlike last time we arrived in two cars, allowing us to leave one car at Midsætret p-plass and thus enabling us to skip the rather boring almost 5 km walk back to Øvredalen parkering at the end of the hike. After parking the second car at Øvredalen parkering, we followed the standard route to the top of Sveningen. Here we had a short lunch break before heading south along the ridge towards Midsætret. Along the way I made short detours on my own to the summits of Drogegjeltoppen and Søtefjellet NV , plus an attempt to locate a trig marker at Sauskolten , of which I only found traces of the supporting metal structure. Upon returning to the car at Midsætret p-plass, we car-pooled >>>

Munthemarki Rundt

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:10t
Distanse:
11,5km

Sunday hike trying out the relatively recently marked route referred to as Munthemarki Rundt . We started from the private parking lot at the end of Barsnesfjorden and at first followed the standard route towards Helgasete . At Kabrettekleiv we however left the main trail and instead followed the signs for "Munthemarki Rundt". The trail was overall easy to follow. We soon arrived at Årøy where we briefly followed Kongevegen in the direction of Hafslovatnet before heading south on a tractor road that turned into a nice trail taking us to the excellent views at Ormaskori . After a short break we continued via Galtastegen to more spectacular views at Romnaholten . From there we passed via Dal to connect with the standard trail back to the private parking lot. To conclude, a great hike with spectacular views that can be highly recommended. Note that the road >>>

A short stop in Vik to visit Liabu when driving from Bergen to Sogndal to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. We parked at the designated parking lot at Vik Skisenter and followed the marked route. First via Vik Fjellandsby and then along a marked trail to the cabin.

Steinfjellet (almost...)

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:23t
Distanse:
5,5km

On the way home from a weekend in Myrkdalen we stopped at Gullbotn for a quick ascent of Steinfjellet . This however turned out more complicated than expected and was abandoned less than 250 meters from the summit. The reason being a steep area that we did not want to attempt climbing, especially given the wet conditions. We probably could have found an alternative route, but given that this was only going to be a short hike, we instead returned to the car, leaving the final ascent for another day.

Svolefjellet from Myrkdalen

5:05t
Distanse:
14,2km

When my sister and her family drove to Voss where my youngest nephew was going to take part in Voss Cup, me and my dad wanted to first go for a hike and decided on Svolefjellet . Based on information from myrkdalen.no I had located a marked trail to Svoleset from the valley north of Svolefjellet and assumed that we would not have any issues reaching the summit from there. After crossing the main road we followed a gravel road east to Bygdastølen where we crossed the river Kvanndølen via a bridge and continued on a newer and not yet fully set gravel road on the other side of the river. At this point we had come by two trail signs for Svoleset. The first was laying on the ground next to the gate at Bygdastølen, and the second was pointing at a trail stub that quickly came to an end just as the mentioned new gravel road started. We were therefore >>>
