Four summits around Norddalshytten from Åsabotnen

Date:
03.09.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
10:03h
Distance:
32.3km

In the first joint hike with Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) in almost exactly one year, we decided on the north of Modalen as our target area and hoped to get the time to visit all of the four summits around Norddalshytten . At the north end of Steinslandsvatnet we therefore continued northeast on a gravel road taking us up to the dam at Stølsvatnet. Here there was a parking lot for hikers, but as the road continued climbing, and was still of good quality, we continued north, making it to the unnamed small 895 lake in Åsabotnen before finally parking the car next to the road. Turned out that we could probably have continued around the next bend, but there the road was slightly rougher and it was only a matter of maybe 700 meters to the end of the road anyway. The marked trailhead at the end of the road was easily located and we followed >>>

Distance:
31.3km

For the third weekend in a row I returned to Voss, but this time on my own and not as part of an organized hike. I started by taking the train to Voss and the bus towards Granvin, getting off at Bulkokrysset. From there I followed the road up to the large parking lot at Madshaugen where I easily located the unmarked trailhead for Høgahorgi . Note that Høgahorgi is also referred to as Nesheimshorgi, where Nesheimshorgi seems to refer to the whole mountain while Høgahorgi to the highest point. The initial trail quality was very good, but this only lasted until passing the first cabin. After that the trail turned wet and muddy, and I quickly gave up keeping my feet dry. I soon came across another hiker and took the chance to ask for some trail advice, where the most important was to make sure to visit Horganipen for the best >>>

Vossamarsjen 2022 + Hjortahorgi and Skjemmehorgi

Date:
20.08.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:09h
Distance:
29.8km

Vossamarsjen is a yearly hike organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association , or more specifically Voss Utferdslag , starting from Hodnaberg and following the T-marked trail via Torfinnsheim , Timaglaset , Gråsidetoppen and Roset , before ending up at Gjelle. After last year's success of combining Vossamarsjen with visits of Skorane, Nansenbu and Torfinnshorgi , I decided to have another go, but this time making an even longer detour and instead including a visit of Hjortahorgi . After getting up very early on the Saturday morning, I took the train to Voss, where I almost missed the last organized bus to Hodnaberg due to the train leaving twenty minutes late from Bergen. The bus arrived at Hodnaberg just after half past nine and I was finally ready to start hiking. I started by following the standard route via the three first check points at Torfinnsheim, Dalsgrovi and Timaglaset, but instead of continuing northeast to the fourth checkpoint at Gråsidetoppen, I turned south along the marked trail to Nansenbu.

Bjørndalshesten and Storebrekkuna from Voladammen to Afdal

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:41h
Distance:
24.7km

This Sunday I joined a hike organized by the Norwegian Trekking Association , more specifically Voss Utferdslag , from Voladammen to Afdal. Or rather I mainly joined the bus transportation at the start and end of the hike, as I had in advance gotten the OK to head off on my own in order to visit a couple of new summits in the area. After getting up very early in the morning, I therefore took the train to Voss where I joined up with the rest of hikers just before 09:00. The drive up the winding gravel road from Brekkhus to Voladammen was described as an attraction in itself by Voss Utferdslag, which was even more true when done in a large bus with lots of narrow turns and two small tunnels that had to be traversed before reaching the parking lot next to the dam . Here I left the rest of the group and continued northwest on my own looking for the trail to Kvitanosi . At first I struggled >>>

Daurmålsegga from Oma via Raudkleiv

Date:
05.08.2022
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:42h
Distance:
13.2km

After two unsuccessful attempts at joining a DNT -organized hike across Daurmålsegga from Bolstad to Mundheimsdalen, once cancelled due to bad weather and once COVID restrictions got in the way, I decided to not wait any longer and go ahead on my own. Following the whole ridge would however not be possible and I would instead simply start from Oma and return the same way. I started by taking the bus to Oma and following the road up to the trailhead at Halvgjenge p-plass , from where I followed the standard marked route via Raudkleiv to the summit of Daurmålsegga. Tractor road almost all the way to Raudkleiv and an easy to follow trail from there all the way to the top, with only a small bit of easy scrambling to reach the summit cairn. As got to the summit a dense fog had appeared and thus there were next to no views. I decided to wait >>>
