Øyefjellet/Varden from Øvsthus

Dato:
23.04.2022
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:42t
Distanse:
7,3km

After visiting Veten and Sandvikehorga and Bygdaåsen , we still had around two hours until the planned ferry back to Gjermundshamn, which should be more than enough for me to also make a quick visit to Øyefjellet/Varden . Given that petter (Petter Bjørstad) had already visited Øyefjellet more than 15 years ago, he simply dropped me off at the trailhead at Øvsthus. The marked trail was easy to follow and I initially made good progress towards the summit. Soon I would however get to areas that were first wet and muddy and later also covered by increasing amounts of snow, at times even making it difficult to spot the trail markers. This of course greatly reduced my speed and I constantly had to keep an eye on my watch in order to make sure that I had enough time to both get to the summit and back down again in time for the ferry. In the end, I finally reached the summit >>>

Bygdaåsen

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:50t
Distanse:
1,9km

After our hike to Veten and Sandvikehorga , petter (Petter Bjørstad) and I drove the short distance to Glebakka where we were the only car at the large parking lot . There was a hiking information sign next to the parking lot, but it only indicated a trip to Barlinda, which is apparently the largest tree of its kind in Northern Europe . We however ignored this suggested route and instead headed off-trail along the ridge to Bygdaåsen in the opposite direction. The terrain was easier to traverse than expected and there were lots of deer tracks showing the way. In order to avoid two surprisingly deep gorges north of the summit, we ended up following the ridge west of the summit before turning southeast for the final ascent. Limited views due to lots of trees and while the summit can be reached without any real issues it is clearly more of an acquired taste and not the kind of peak most hikers will feel much need to >>>

Veten and Sandvikehorga

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:54t
Distanse:
5,9km

A visit to Varaldsøy had been on my list for a while. However, it is a bit tricky to get to with public transportation, so when petter (Petter Bjørstad) asked if I was interested in going hiking the upcoming weekend I suggested Varaldsøy as an option, and given that Petter had three summits yet to visit on the island he was quick to agree. Upon arriving at Varaldsøy, we decided to start with Veten (which for some reason is called Vetan on PB) and Sandvikehorga , and thus drove to the small parking lot at the southern end of Vetla Svartavatnet . Here there was room for a couple of cars next to the gravel road and the marked trailhead was easily located. The very nice trail could be followed all the way to the summit without any real challenges except for the occasional very light scrambling. The summit provided excellent panoramic views only partly reduced by the sun not yet having fully emerged >>>

Hike to Lyderhorn after work with a couple of colleagues where we started from the parking lot at Skålevik . First along an old winding military road and later along a marked trail. After visiting the summit, I made a detour on my own via Kvarven fort to Gravdal from where I took the bus home.

Helgasete from Barsnesfjorden

Dato:
10.04.2022
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:55t
Distanse:
7,7km

We started from the private parking lot at the end of the gravel road on the east side of Barsnesfjorden. From there we followed the trail via Dal to Helgasete . Snow covered the trail from just below Dal and there were light snow showers at Helgasete. Note that the road to where the trail starts is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

Borgafjellet and Møsnuken

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:15t
Distanse:
15,7km

When a meeting at Solstrand ended after a late lunch, I had originally planned to take the ferry across the fjord to go hiking in Fusa. However, after waking up to a snow-covered Solstrand, it was clear that my hike would take significantly longer than planned and I would be at risk of not catching the all-important bus back to Bergen. I therefore decided to play it safe and instead do a revisit of Borgafjellet and Møsnuken . At least this would allow me to visit the new dagsturhytte at Borgafjellet, in addition to some other minor summits I had not previously visited. When the rest of my colleagues embarked on the bus back to Bergen, I began my hike from Solstrand and soon arrived at the steep ascent to Borgafjellet. Little to no snow at the start, but it gradually increased as I got closer to the summit, with perhaps a couple of centimeters >>>
