Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes Stage 5 and 6: Søylen to Myrdalsvegen. Stage 5: Søylen to Rolland After an overall disappointing start to Jubileumsstien (see my earlier reports here and here ), I was back at Søylen, hopeful that the next stage would be better. From the large information sign marking the start of Stage 5, I easily located the marked trailhead less than 50 meters up the road. The trail itself was less easy to see though, as it was of rather poor quality (even included two potentially dangerous metal wires stretched right across the trail). But after about 200 meters or so the trail thankfully connected >>>

After our roundtrip to Gleinefjellet, Sætrefjellet and Gråsida , me and Endre decided to make a quick stop on the way back to Bergen to visit Setrelifjellet . As most other hikers, we started from the small parking lot next to the main road and passed by the red cabin on our way northwest. The ascent was steep, but with only one spot requiring light climbing (which can easily be avoided, as we discovered on the descent). There were traces of a weak trail, but there was not much difference between following the weak trail or not. We quickly arrived at the summit, which provided views back towards all of the peaks we had visited earlier in the day. Slightly northwest of the summit, there were also nice views down to Haukeland and towards Kvernhuselva in the distance. From the summit we followed more or less the same route back down. Being careful to avoid the steepest areas. In summary, a steep short hike with >>>

Another trip with Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) . The first in over half a year. This time starting with three peaks in Masfjorden and more or less following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) . We began our hike from Sætrefjellet P-plass , which we today had all to ourselves and from there followed the trail to Gleinefjellet . The trailhead is marked from the parking lot, but other than that there were no trail markers. Not the best views from the summit itself, and not helped by the low-hanging clouds either, with slightly better views towards Matresfjorden/Masfjorden just west of the summit. We did not stay long before returning along the same route to the valley called Snjogilen and from there starting our ascent to Sætrefjellet , making a short detour to a nice viewpoint west of the summit. The summit was easily reached, although the large rock marking the summit was too slippery >>>

Heihillerhornet, Kjerringafjell and Ottanosi from Holdhus

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:

Entfernung:

Started by taking the bus to Holdhus and from there following the roads to Solvang. Here I left the road and instead followed an unmarked trail shortcut up towards Heihiller. After reconnecting with the road it was not long before I came across a marked trailhead for both Heihillerhornet and Kjerringafjell . The trail started by heading in the wrong direction though, and descending(!), but I assumed it has its reasons and sure within a couple of hundred meters it started ascending in a more reasonable direction. Just south of the summit of Heihillerhornet the trail forked, with signs left (west) for Heihillerhornet and right (east/north) for Kjerringafjell. I of course opted for the former, and soon arrived at the summit, following a nice trail all the way. The summit provided great views and a good overview of the rest >>>

Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes the third and fourth stages: Valle to Søylen. Stage 3: Valle to Myrdalsvatnet After yesterday's overall disappointing start to Jubileumsstien , I was hoping that Stage 3 and 4 would pick up the quality. And the start from the bus stop at Valle was indeed rather interesting, following the very steep Osvegen. I would not want to drive here in the winter! I did not stay on the steep road for long though, and shortly followed the marked trail northeast, still pretty steep until flattening out when getting closer to the summit of Birkelandsfjellet . Note that the trail does not pass by the summit itself, but it can easily be reached by a >>>

Jubileumsstien With the weather being too unstable for proper mountain hiking, I decided to instead have a go at Jubileumsstien . This is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. I was only doing the two first stages today though, i.e. from Krokeide to Valle. Stage 1: Krokeide to Fana Kulturpark I started by taking the bus to Krokeide and following the smaller roads east. The trailhead was marked by a small sign, but the larger information sign was not found until the real trailhead at Austrefjorden. Not really sure what I was expecting with respect to trail quality, but I was definitely negatively surprised for the first stage. Very wet and with trail markers being >>>

Roundtrip: Frøland to Austre Stemmefjellsnakken (and more)

Datum:

Tourcharakter:

Tourlänge:
9:11h
Entfernung:

I started by taking the bus to Frøland and from there walking up the road to Holmane parkering , from where I followed the tractor road (north and then) south. My plan had been to follow the tractor road until it ended, but when coming across a red arrow on the west side of the road just before the road was about to end, I took a chance that perhaps this would provide a trail that could take me to Burlifjellet and left the road behind. The weakness of the trail should have been a hint though, and the trail soon disappeared completely. And although it seemed to reappear from time to time, I'm guessing these were just animal tracks. I therefore gave up on the trail and instead started to make my own way in the direction of Burlifjellet, deciding to include a visit of Ullandsfjellet on the way. Ullandsfjellet was reached without any real >>>

I arrived by bike after my earlier visit of Kongshaug , and easily located the tractor road marking the trailhead for Hovda . After leaving the bike behind at the start of the tractor road, as it was too wet and the grass too high to get any benefit out of cycling, I followed the tractor road until passing the steepest areas between me and the summit. I then ditched the tractor road and found my own more direct route towards the summit, partly following various deer tracks. The ascent included its own short obstacle course with lots of fallen trees that I had to find my way over/under, but the terrain opened up at around 300 meters and from there to the summit it was straightforward to make progress. I also spotted two deer, or maybe the same deer on two different locations on my way upwards. Before heading to the summit itself, >>>

Upon finally arriving at the trailhead for Kongshaug , I quickly found a place to leave my bike and followed the tractor road upwards until it ended at a picnic area with excellent views. At first I did not see any trails continuing from that point, but I soon happened upon a weak trail marked with white plastic ribbons. And although it was not exactly going towards the summit, I assumed it had its reasons, and decided to follow it anyway. It quickly became apparent that this trail was indeed not heading towards the summit, but rather to a viewpoint to the south. By this time I was pretty close anyway, so I stuck with the trail until it came to an end at a visitor register . Interestingly the visitor register was incorrectly marked with 229 meters, but the actual height was more like 209 meters. Still worth a visit if in the area though, as the views >>>
