Hyvingen, Grånakken and Giljafjell from Ålvik

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:

Started by taking the train to Voss and from there continued by bus to Ålvik. Here I easily located the marked trailhead and proceeded to follow the marked trail towards Roaldsdalen. The first part was quite steep and potentially difficult if wet or icy, although there were rope-based railings for extra safety. No need for these today though. As I continued north at the first forking of the trail at Krossfuru, the terrain turned much less steep and I could enjoy a nice walk along Dalselvi until the trail forked again and began winding its way up to Oskarborg and Toppen. The trail to Oskarborg was often rather weak, especially at this time of the year when partially hidden by the tall grasses, however, with a few exceptions, the red markers were easy to follow. For extra safety, given that the trail >>>

After getting off the train at Hallingskeid , I continued southeast along Rallarvegen with the goal to cross the river via a bridge between Låghellervatnet and Høghellervatnet that I had spotted on the map. However, upon arriving it became clear that this crossing was not going to happen. All that was left of the bridge were the two supporting wires. There was nothing to do but continue east to find another place to cross. North of Låghellerbotnen I left the gravel road and after fording a small stream I could finally start my ascent to Vestre Låghellerhøgdene . The off-trail ascent to the summit was straightforward. I made sure to visit both competing highest points, with the eastern one being ever so slightly higher (maybe only 1 cm?) while the western one contained the remains of a fallen down trig marker. I turned my attention >>>

Tried two alternative routes to/from Storsåta . The ascent route was ok but the trail was quite weak at times, while the descent route, except for the upper part, followed a much nicer trail. Maybe next time I'll instead go for the righthand option where the trail from Hjortlandsvegen forks early on.

With a weather forecast including potential afternoon thunderstorms, I decided to stay relatively local and at low altitude. The result was a return to Hausdalen for a visit of yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . After getting off the bus at "Samdal sag" I shortly continued north along the main road before following the tractor road to south towards Ulvvatnet. Just before the bridge at the northwestern end of Ulvvatnet, I left the tractor road and followed a deer track across the stream to connect with an older tractor road took me very close to Skora . All that remained was a short off-trail ascent to the highest point. I descended via various deer tracks until reconnecting with the old tractor road and then followed the same route back to the main road. With rolling thunder in the distance, >>>

After another early breakfast, I checked out of Skånevik Fjordhotel and left behind most of my luggage to be picked up at the end of the hike. I started following the road east before turning southeast and ascending Åsheimsvegen. When the gravel road forked west of Valdra I crossed Valdraelva via a bridge and continued on a tractor road until it came to an end near a couple of cabins close to Måsahaugen. Just as I was about to start on the route taking me up to the uppermost cabin called Takhaug, I spotted the one thing that I'd rather not see just before setting out on a longer off-trail part of a hike: a viper slithering away to my left. Hoping that more were not hiding in the tall gras, I continued across a wet area before following the weak traces of a tractor road that seemed to be more used by ATVs. When >>>

Aksdalsneset to Skånevik

After arriving late in Skånevik the day before and spending the night at Skånevik Fjordhotel , I got up early to catch the 08:30 bus from Skånevik to Aksdalsneset. Note that the bus had to be ordered by calling Skyss at least one day in advance. Also, it was not actually a bus, but a rather a taxi. In other words, if you have not called in advance, you may risk being left behind at the bus stop, or that there is no taxi showing up in the first place. I got dropped off at Aksdalsneset from where I had come across a hiking suggestion at ut.no indicating what looked like a nice route to the summit of Børkjenesnuten . First I followed a gravel road that quickly turned into a tractor road taking me up to the unmarked trailhead. The start of the trail was easy to miss but after crossing a wet area early on it was overall straightforward to follow until getting near Vasstølsvatnet. Here the trail turned >>>

On yet another very warm day, I decided to escape some of the heat by heading up to Finse to visit two relatively recent additions to the Hordaland ≥ 100m pf. list , both of which had been upgraded due to more accurate LiDAR data more accurate data. First up was Storetunga . After getting off the train at Finse, I headed southeast along Rallarvegen before later leaving the gravel road and heading off-trail towards the summit. Besides some enjoying undergrowth early on, the terrain was generally easy to travers and the summit was reached without any difficulties. After a break next to the summit cairn to take in the excellent views, I returned along the same route to Rallarvegen before crossing the river along a small bridge underneath the larger railroad bridge and starting my ascent of Vetle Hansbunuten . There were a couple of small cairns in the area around the bridge >>>

Vardafjellet from Rindabotn

We found parking next to the road above Rindabotn and from there continued up the gravel road. It would probably have been possible to drive further but then the parking options were less certain. We later left the gravel road and followed a marked trail heading north towards Kokkstadfjellet , however we did not head all the way there before turning west to Vardafjellet . On our way there, we had the best views of the day. Most notably north in the direction of Anestølsvatnet. At Vardafjellet, my niece continued on her own to Kambafjellet while my parents and I headed more directly south to the car. First along a marked trail and then along the winding gravel road. As a results, my niece got to Rindabotn long before us and we later picked her along Hodlekvevegen.

We parked at the large parking lot at Rindabotn and from there followed the marked route to Fagereggi. First along a gravel path, then across a wooden bridge, and finally along a nice trail. We briefly lost the trail east of Fagreggjevatnet but easily picked it up again when rounding the lake on the southern side and then followed it to reconnect with our ascent route. Before this I however made a short off-trail detour on my own to the top of Helleberget .
