Middagshaugen and Skredfjellet

Tourlänge:

11,6km

On the last day of my stay in Sogndal this time around, we decided on Middagshaugen and Skredfjellet as our targets and drove to Berge between Frudalstunnelen and Bergstunnelen. Here we parked at the small parking lot next to the viewpoint and started on the gravel road up Bessdalen. Note that after a short initial descent there is a bridge across the motor way enabling hikers to safely get to the other side of the busy road. Soon we split from the gravel road at a hiking sign for Endrefjellet and followed a marked trail that would take us up to the large wet area east of the Skredfjellet ridge. Here the trail markers did continue, at least occasionally, but the trail itself was much harder to spot. The direction was however obvious and we simply headed north where we later reconnected with the marked trail. Just before the trail >>>

When picking up my niece arriving by boat at Leikanger, there was just enough time to first make a quick visit of Orrabu . We started from the parking lot at Kleppa and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the cabin. The plan had been to return via Høgehaug , but this had to be dropped in order to get to Leikanger before the boat arrived.

Today it was time for a hike that I had not done since I was a kid: ascending to the tractor road at Barsnesfjellet from Einehaugen/Barsnes via Flot . We started along the marked trail to Flot where we made a quick stop at the now marked viewpoint just west of the visitor register. After rounding the small hill to the east, we began the real ascent to the tractor road. There is a trail to Furehaugen (there was even a single red trail marker early on!), but it is now quite weak and feels more like a deer track than a trail. On the way to Furehaugen you can also look out for an arrow carved in a large tree that points the way. At Furehaugen the trail more or less disappeared, with the many fallen trees across the trail not helping. There was however a steep trail/track that could be followed, but whether this was >>>

Tverrfjellet from Nordvik

I left work early and took the bus to Nordvik where I got off at the stop called "Nordvik nord, Bergen". After a short walk along the road I started looking for the trail up the valley in between Tverrfjellet and Høgeåsen . Thankfully I came across one of the locals and could ask for directions before it started feeling too much like trespassing, especially as I had to walk along the outskirts of his lawn to get to the trailhead. At first the trail was easy to follow, but soon it would either be hidden by ferns or look and feel more like a small stream. I therefore left the trail behind and headed off-trail in the direction of the summit of Tverrfjellet, following various deer tracks when these seemed to head in the right direction. The summit was thus reached without any issues and provided excellent >>>

Afternoon trip to Korsneset to visit three minor summits on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by taking the bus to Krokeide and getting off at the final bus stop called "Krokeide videregående skole". From there I walked along the roads until being just east of Ramnaberget and managed to find a relatively easy off-trail ascent, partly following deer tracks. Limited views from the summit, but great views could be obtained a short distance to the southwest. I returned along more or less the same route before following the steep trail to Veten where the usually excellent views were reduced due to a passing light rain shower. I therefore did not stay long before starting my descent, this time following the less steep southern route. Shortly before returning to the gravel road, I made a quick detour to the summit of >>>

Gråfjellet, Høgabu and Bergsbukken (from Lid to Vaksdal)

On what looked like it would be the last sunny and warm day for a while, I took the advice of the weather man on the morning radio and took the Friday off to go hiking. Started by taking the train to Dale and the bus to Bergsdalen where I got off at the bus stop called "Lid aust". This put me directly at the start of the marked trail to Høgabu which I then proceeded to follow. For the first part of the ascent I was escorted by a squadron of buzzing flies, but thankfully they gave up their pursuit as I climbed above the tree line, partly due to a cool breeze from the southwest. On my way to Høgabu I had initially planned to ascend Gråfjellet from the northeast via Storaskaret as there is supposed to be a weak trail crossing the ridge of Gråfjellet. However, as I did not locate the start of this trail, >>>

After spending all of the previous Saturday at work, it was in easy choice to take the following Friday off when the weather forecast for Bergen predicted blue skies and close to 30 degrees. Three other colleagues were quickly convinced to join and we settled on ascending to Kiellandbu from Hodnaberg, with my own goal of also visiting at least a couple of new summits in the area. We parked next to the power station at Hodnaberg and started by following the gravel road south. After a short steep incline, we left the gravel road and continued on the marked trail to Kiellandbu, enjoying the excellent views along the river. Before reaching Nedre Kvålsdalstjørni, we decided to split into two pairs, given that it was only me and one other colleague that were interested in a slightly longer hike that also >>>

Svadfjellet and Dukefjellet from Kringla to Haugsvær

For my visit of Dukefjellet I decided to combine GeirL (Geir Lie) 's ascent from Kringla with petter (Petter Bjørstad) 's descent via Hopsdalen and of course also adding my own twist. I started by taking the bus to Kringla where the bus stop is located about 650 meters south of the trailhead. In order to reduce the walk along the main road (as there is no sidewalk), I started with a minor detour around Husevatnet. This also allowed me to inspect the alternative trailhead east of the lake, but as I did not see any trail or signs indicating a trailhead, I concluded that this trail had most likely not improved since Geir used it for his descent three years earlier. After a short walk along the main road, where it was easy to stay out of the way of the traffic, I finally arrived at the marked trailhead. As expected, there was no mentioning of Dukefjellet, rather Svadfjellet was highlighted as the >>>

Given that I would be spending all of Friday and Saturday indoors organizing a conference, I left work early the day before and got on a bus to Raunekleiv. The plan was to revisit Raudnipa , but this time ascending from the south via Raudvatnet and also include a visit of Trollabotshaugen , a minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list. After a short detour along a smaller road to avoid a tunnel, the marked trailhead was located next to Raunekleiva parkering . As a side note, check out the picture used for the PB-element for the parking lot. Note how it seems to be without an entrance. ;) I followed the marked route to Raudvatnet - a tractor road that soon turned into a trail. The vertical meters were relatively evenly spread out, resulting in an ascent without any steep sections. At Raudvatnet, I followed the trail on the east side of the lake. This is most >>>
