Ørnatua

Dato:

Turtype:

Distanse:
2,3km

A short and windy Sunday hike before the forecasted rain and snow showers. The objective was to visit Ørnatua , yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started from the last bus stop at Flaktveit and from there headed south towards Kråvatnet. When the roads ended I continued on an initially wet trail that later connected with a tractor road that took me to just west of Ørnatua. After a short and steep off-trail ascent I easily got quite close to the highest point. The summit area was however completely covered by juniper bushes and thus locating the exact summit was more difficult. I returned the same way and then headed for the bus stop at Breimyra to conclude the short hike.

After the short hike to Haukeberget I took the bus from Åsane terminal to the start of Almåsvegen which I then proceeded to follow west towards Almåsgården. My initial plan had been to ascend Furelegene from the trail west of the summit, but in the end I instead simply headed off-trail in the direction of the summit from the south, starting from just before the road crossed a small river. The remaining ascent was overall straightforward but did require some minor fighting with the many bushes doing their best to block the way. From the summit of Furelegene, I continued north to connect with trails indicated on the map, however as I did not really find any trails, I soon pretty much made my own way east to the main road. The main road was then followed south to Eikåstunnelen where I started my ascent of Eikåsen , first along a gravel >>>

A short hike on a very windy Saturday for a visit of Haukeberget . After the walk up from Tertneskrysset, I located an unmarked trail at the northeastern corner of the football field at Åstveit that took me all the way to the summit. I continued northeast along a weaker trail to connect with the paved road and then followed various roads and trails to Åsane terminal where I took a short bus ride to the start of Almåsvegen for a hike to Furelegene and Eikåsen .

Tangelandsheiane

Distanse:
4,3km

Short Sunday hike in Arna to visit Tangelandsheiane Øst , another recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list . I started by taking the train and bus to Espeland. Here I first had a quick look at Espeland stasjon , an old station on the original railway line from Bergen to Voss , before heading west to the unmarked trailhead next to a small playground. On my way to Ågotaskaret I made a short off-trail detour to Oksla, which, if nothing else, provided a nice view towards Tangelandsheiane. After a brief visit of the lower western summit of Tangelandsheiane I followed the trails east to the higher eastern summit which provided surprisingly good views! The hike was concluded by returning north along the trail and then finally connecting with the roads and aiming for the bus stop in Arnatveitvegen. In summary, Tangelandsheiane was overall a positive surprise! Lots of trails of ok quality and great views >>>

Morkafjellet from Verpelstad

Turlengde:

Distanse:
7,0km

After three days on the couch due to a bad cold, I recovered just in time for a short Saturday hike to Morkafjellet with Petter and Endre . Petter picked me up at my place at 08:00 and we met up with Endre at the surprisingly large parking lot at Verpelstad a bit more than an hour later. Thanks to an external report we easily located the unmarked trailhead behind the houses just northeast of the parking lot and from there followed a partially marked trail all the way to Verpelstadstølen (except for doing our own "shortcut" just below the cabin when briefly losing the trail, see the return track for the correct route). From Verpelstadstølen there was a weaker trail up the first steep slope but soon we were simply making our own way towards the summit. There were several large patches of snow that had to be crossed but there was significantly less snow than expected for the middle of >>>

Kubrekka from Nedre Sandven

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:52t
Distanse:
4,8km

When my initial plan to ski across Vidden was cancelled after seeing a picture of how little snow was left at Rundemanen , I instead went for yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Kubrekka . I started from the bus stop at Nedre Sandven and from there followed the snow-covered gravel road north until being less than 200 meters from the summit. I then put on the gaiters and headed off-trail towards the summit in knee-deep snow. As I got closer to the summit the deep snow was replaced by a dense forest of spruce trees with tons of dry branches trying to block the way. The summit itself had no views and is generally of no interest to normal hikers. I returned the same way and then took the bus back home from Øvre Sandven.

A short winter adventure in Arna to ascend two recently added peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I got off the bus at "Haukeland sør" and after a short walk south along the main road I started my ascent to Søyleåsen , first along the road up to the house south of the summit and then off-trail in knee-deep snow to the highest point. No views from the summit but a nice view across Søylevatnet could be obtained further south. I followed my footprints back to the main road and then headed east to Eikeli and Storeklubben . The area on the west side of the road north of the houses was blocked by an electric fence and I therefore continued another 200 meters before beginning my off-trail ascent, also here in deep snow. The summit was easily reached and was thankfully just outside the fenced area. Limited views and I quickly returned >>>

A revisit of Stemmesegga at Osterøy for the same reason as my recent revisit of Liafjellet , i.e. to make sure that I had in fact visited the highest point. I started from Haus bus terminal and from there took the steep shortcut via Nedre Verkane to Verkane before following the road up to the marked trailhead. The wet trail was largely covered by snow and thus most likely more difficult to spot than usual. I still managed to ascend to the summit area without too much trouble. The highest point was easily located around 140 meters north of the large cairn, a location I do not remember passing by on my previous visit. After a couple of pictures I descended southeast to Mjelddalen, where the final stretch took longer than expected due lots of traces of recent logging activity. I therefore did not make the planned bus and instead extended the hike >>>

Seimsheia from Arna stasjon

Distanse:
4,8km

Yesterday I noticed that five additional minor peaks had been added to the Alle topper i Bergen list . Just what I needed to generate the required motivation for a hike on yet another gray and wet day during my Christmas holiday. I settled on Seimsheia and started by taking the train to Arna from where I followed the roads until getting close to the summit. For the final 200 meters I followed various trails and thus arrived at the summit without any issues. The summit area showed signs of human activity including several swings and a plastic shelter but did not provide any views. From the summit I followed a wet trail to the road to the west and proceeded to follow the roads back to the train station . On the way I also made a short stop at the old train station . More information about the old station (in Norwegian) can be found here .
