Petter picked me up at my place at 07:00 and together we drove the roughly 1.5 hours to Tørvikbygd, arriving around 20 minutes before the ferry was to depart to Jondal. After a short and windy ferry ride we followed the road east to Espeland where we turned northeast towards Vassendvatnet. This road was a toll road and we paid the 60 kr via Vipps before continuing to a parking lot at around 350 meters above sea level . As this parking lot mainly seems to be used as a starting point for skiing trips in the winter, we had it all to ourselves. We parked the car and briefly followed the road northeast before turning north and heading off-trail in the direction of the summit of Gaddane . There was a marked trail in the valley called Djupadalen between the two summits, however as following it would result in a bit of detour we instead opted for the more direct >>>

Kvamsnova from Furnestreet

Most people visiting Kvamsnova (also referred to as Kvamsnovi) seem do so as an extended detour when visiting Store Dustingen/Dystingen . This route however did not look too appealing and I was therefore more eager follow in elbow (Vegard Magnussen) 's footsteps based on his trip report indicating an easier route from Furnestreet (or Fornestræet as it is now written on the map). The only issue was that getting to Furnestreet (and back home afterwards) by public transport is not straightforward (requires first taking the train to Bolstadøyri, waiting half an hour at the station, and then taking the bus to Furnestreet). I was therefore very happy when Kjell showed an interest in joining and we could travel by car. After leaving the car at the parking lot along the fjord (now partly occupied by the company working on Dalseidtunnelen), we crossed the main road and continued >>>

Left work early for a short hike with my colleague taking part in Stolpejakten (and concluded by walking home from Sandviken sykehus afterwards).

Nipa via Stegane from Matre

Tourcharakter:
Bergtour
Tourlänge:
4:42h
Entfernung:
13,0km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent and a potentially very dangerous dam crossing. Read the report carefully and plan accordingly! An ascent of Nipa next to Hummelfossen in Matre had been on my list for a while but had always been postponed as it requires that the hike is preceded by an extended period with low amounts of rain. Something that is rather uncommon in this part of the country. However, after an unusually dry October, and with little to no rain for the first days of November, the conditions were finally right. I started by taking the express bus to Matre and from there walked north and then northeast along Stordalsvegen until arriving at Hummelfossen. Here I was glad to see that my predictions were right with Hummelfossen being almost completely without water, the importance of which will be revealed shortly, >>>

A Sunday hike in perfect late October weather with the main objective of visiting the small hill called Tempelet on the eastern side of Kalandsvatnet. Tempelet could easily be ascended from the north via a route that stayed just far enough from the surrounding houses for it not to feel like trespassing. Given the limited views, the most interesting feature at the summit was a small old bunker from the second world war. I did not stay long before returning the same way. Back at the main road I proceeded to follow it north to the unmarked start of the trail to Håvegen søyle . The trail itself was overall a bit on the weak side, however the direction was pretty obvious, and I quickly arrived at the small pass north of the ridge containing the trig marker. From here there was a weak trail along the ridge. Excellent views >>>

Given the excellent Friday weather forecast, and other engagements during the upcoming weekend, I decided to take the Friday off and go hiking in Ulvik. Once more I took the train to Voss (once again with bus-for-train between Bergen and Arna). Here I switched (back) to bus and headed for Ulvik, getting off at Sølva (just two stops after where I began my hike to Kjerringafjellet and Kvasshovden the previous weekend). The bus stop was right next to the start of the tractor road that I could pretty much follow all the way to the summit of Kongsberg . I only left the tractor road towards the very end to instead continue on an unmarked trail to a vantage point just south of the summit with spectacular views across Ulvik. From there a weaker trail could be followed to the highest point less than 150 meters further north. Ascending Kongsberg >>>

After several days of strong wind from the east, the weather finally improved enough to allow for proper mountain hiking. I therefore got up early Sunday morning and took the train to Voss (or to be more correct, bus-for-train to Arna and then train to Voss). Here I switched back to bus and continued in the direction of Ulvik. My plan was partially follow in the footsteps of Knut Sverre and Astrid based on their trip report from 2015 indicating a trail to Kvasshovden via Grostøl, mainly as this would save me almost 300 vertical meters compared to starting from the fjord at Ulvik. In advance I had figured out that the closest bus stop to the wanted trailhead was called Ulsberg, which would leave less than 600 meters to the start of a tractor road I had located on the map. This was apparently not a very commonly used bus stop though. Proven by the >>>
