Gullsteinen roundtrip from Grønnestølsbakken

Dato:
18.01.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:52t
Distanse:
11,8km

A revisit of Gullsteinen with the main objective to also visit Speiderly and Olavsbu . From Olavsbu I continued south along the southern part of Løvstien, before following an unmarked trail to Gullstølen /Speiderly. After crossing over Gullsteinen, I decided not to start the usual climb to Løvstakken , and instead turned south/southwest along a trail taking me more or less back to Olavsbu. I then followed Løvstien north until it came to an abrupt end. There I managed to locate a trail that I assumed would take me down to Øvre Fredlundsveien. However, I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, as I ended up with a bit of light climbing and also having to jump a fence in order to finally reach the road. I think the correct route is to rather connect with the northern part of Fredlundsvingen when this opportunity first presents itself. The hike >>>

Local hike in strong winds but thankfully with almost no rain. To make it slightly more interesting I took a couple of off-trail shortcuts along the way.

Distanse:
2,6km

After visiting Håvarden and Kvamsfjellet we stopped at Melshovden on the way back to Bergen. The excellent views from the summit were made even better by the clouds finally clearing. We did not stay for the sunset though, as we were not too keen on descending the rather icy trail in the dark.

Distanse:
6,1km

When the weather forecast finally indicated a single day of excellent hiking conditions, and with the rainstorms starting up again the day after, it did not take much convincing for two of my colleagues to take the day off and instead work during the rainy weekend. We decided on Håvarden / Kvamsfjellet and pretty much followed in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) , first finding parking next to the road at Elvika and then starting up a tractor road to the marked trailhead. The trail was not indicated on the map, but it was marked and overall easy to follow. Some ice towards the end, but little to no snow. While my colleagues took a break at the large cairn called Håvarden, I made the short walk to the highest point of Kvamsfjellet on my own, around 200 meters further north. There was a marked trail here, but it did not head for the >>>

Started the year by a hike up Stoltzekleiven . Made it to the top in exactly 16 minutes. After catching my breath, I continued south to the summit of Sandviksfjellet , before following the gravel road home to Lønborg.

Stølafjellet and Ilefjellet from Våge

Dato:
26.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:07t
Distanse:
21,9km

Stølafjellet I started by taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge. From Våge I followed the main road south to Reisa, taking a shortcut next to the school/football field to more quickly get to the main road in Uggdalsdalen, and then the shortest route up to the trailhead for Stølafjellet . The latter pretty much led me through someone's backyard. It is better to take the only slightly longer route to the west in order to avoid feeling like a trespasser. The trailhead was unmarked, but the tractor road, and later trail, was marked with red paint. I followed the tractor road until it came to an end at a viewpoint with a bench, and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the cairn . The red markings pretty much disappeared towards the end, but by then the large cairn could be spotted anyway. After >>>

Tysnessåta from Våge

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:55t
Distanse:
17,4km

After first taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge, I continued on foot along the road to Valla (or Vadla as the locals call it). Upon arriving at Valla, I was surprised to come across two sets of trailhead markers, as I had not been able to find any indications of this when researching this potential route to Tysnessåta . I decided to go for the newest trailhead (which most likely connects with the old trail later on anyway) and started up a marked tractor road which I soon left for a trail marked with red T's. The start of the trail was relatively steep, but at around 300 meters it flattened out quite a lot, and from there on the ascent was pretty easy. Here I also got the first glimpses of Tysnessåta through the trees. As expected, the trail could be followed all the way to the summit, even >>>
