Fanafjellet from Fana

Dato:
25.01.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
7,1km

We thought that all the frozen ground condition would be just right for an excursion to Fanafjellet (which on a regular day can be very wet, especially when walking around up there off-trail). We parked in Fana near Fanastølen and then started our hike with a short ascent to Marietoppen. While Marietoppen is just a small hill, it is actually interesting to find extended remains from WWII defense structures on its top. After this initial visit to Marietoppen, we then aimed to find a good way up to Fanafjellet. While we first considered checking an opportunity to do this "straight up" in the south of Marietoppen, we then decided that walking a small detour via Saganeset would bring us nicely up to a proper trail at Høgaberget. When near Bukkamyrane at about 175masl, we then followed >>>

Ørnafjellet and Lyderhorn from Nedberget

Dato:
24.01.2026
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

We aimed at some nice excursion, not too far out, and chose Ørnafjellet, i.e., the little sister or brother of Lyderhorn. To get there, we decided to park near Nedberget at Kjøkkelvik and hike up from there. The ascent through the forest was just fine, even though there was quite a bit of ice (especially in the rather narrow part before reaching the heights). Once up, we then started to surround Skåleviksvatnet in order to get over to Ørnafjellet and ascend it from the north. After visiting Ørnafjellet, we continued our little round on the heights to Skjenafjellet. There, we decided that including Lyderhorn, also, was just the right thing to do. After visiting Lyderhorn, then, we just walked back down to Nedberget to complete the hike. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the >>>

Via Melkeplassen to Bergen

Dato:
22.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
9,1km

We headed for a meeting in central Bergen and since we had some extra time on our hands (or maybe better: on our feet?), we decided to just walk. Crossing over Melkeplassen, we just made it nicely in time for our meeting. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Visiting the Fantoft stave church on a foggy day

Dato:
18.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
0,5km

Given the particular foggy day, which did not really invite to any extended outing, we decided to quickly visit the stave church at Fantoft. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Skogsøyna on a nice winter day

Dato:
17.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,3km

With a friend, visiting from abroad, we chose Skogsøyna as a very nice outing option. Following the main trail, which by now has been upgraded in multiple places, we soon reached Skogsøytua at the southwestern end of the island. After walking around the spectacular cliff area out there, we then walked basically the same (main) trail back. As always very nice to visit Skogsøyna!

Round around Stora Krokatjørna

Dato:
11.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
6,6km

We first thought that this "only" would be a very short excursion in the neighborhood (and so we stepped onto the small peninsula in the west of Sælevatnet for a short round), but then we still decided to make a slightly longer round nonetheless, leaving Varden in northwards direction in order to get into Kanadaskogen. At Stora Krokatjørna, we decided to use the icy condition to walk around the lake (instead of crossing over Langaheia as usually). We then turned around, heading towards Hesjaholten. At last, instead of just walking back along some roads, we decided to pass by frozen Gjeddevatnet to get back to Varden. There, we also used the frozen condition to pass by Myratjørna, which usually is not recommended (too wet). Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related >>>

Fyllingsdalen round with Gullsteinen

Dato:
04.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
13,9km

We were up for a Fyllingsdalen round and even though it was already a bit late we still thought that including Gullsteinen was doable (and so it was). From Varden, we first surrounded Bondegården at Sælehaugen before then aiming at Rekdalsveien. After connecting to Hattedalen, we then walked up to Bråtet in order to get started with our ascent to Gullsteinen. Even though it was icy in a few places, we still enjoyed the walk over the ridge very much. After passing over Gullsteinen, we then took a trail to Rosenlund, which only was a little bit of a challenge in the slight steeper sections due to the snow and ice. The way back towards the south of Fyllingsdalen was then on roads, mostly, given that it had turned into a dark night by then. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the >>>

Storhovden and Svartaberget from Varden

Dato:
02.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,5km

We started northwards from Varden, crossing the soccer fields to get closer to Kanadaskogen near Hesjaholten. After paying Hesjaholten a short visit, we continued further towards Krokatjørna. This time, we decided to cross over Langaheia from the south, before connecting to Storhovden via Spelhaugen. Since the day was indeed very nice, we then decided to also include Svartaberget via Storamyra where it was nice to also look up to TOBRIK. On Svartaberget, we then enjoyed a really nice winter view towards the west before starting our walk back southwards. After passing by Bjørndalsvatnet and Gjeddevatnet, we arrived back at Varden with good satisfaction about the very nice day! Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Knappen from the south

Dato:
01.01.2026
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
5,4km

With a new year, we immediately got a new chance to visit Knappen! :-) This time, we first headed to Knappatjørna, before then approaching Knappen from the south. For a small change, we first stepped up to Hesthaugen, before eventually visiting Knappen and Eldtona. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . On web page prominent-mountains.no , there's a useful page about Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .
