Mixed excursion to Frotveit

Dato:
31.05.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
61,0km

Given the nice Saturday, it was just to get some fresh air! I took my bike and started in southern direction. After passing Steinsvik, I then connected to Lagunen. My attempt to continue further towards Nesttun from there, was inhibited by some road work, making me cycle around Apeltunvatnet, instead. From Nesttun, I then connected to Øvsttun, where I explored the highest point. Thereafter, my goal was to bike up to Totland to do some more exploration. I left my bike at the parking lot at the end of Totlandsvegen and ascended to the hill in the west of it. Once up there, I decided that I could simply traverse the heights in order to get via Kollifjellet tp Ytstafjellet. After doing that, I returned via the forest road that apparently is used as a skiing track in winter. Once down to >>>

Exploring the south of Turøyna

Dato:
30.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,2km

The day was just too nice to not escape in the evening for a short exploration of the south of Turøyna. We parked near the central roundabout at Turøyna and tried to find a good entry point from Kalderasvegen to start our exploration. We first left the road prematurely and then, after getting back we tried again a few meters further in the southwest. The trail head is basically invisible from the road, but we found it anyway (at the second attempt). From there, the trail is barely visible and one quickly gets in a pretty wet forest just a few meters from the road. Navigating some minor ups and downs, we then made it to the northern ridge of a small hill south of Kalderasvegen. We then made it through another small valley to get to the next hill, a bit further to the SSW. After crossing >>>

Lyderhorn

Dato:
24.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,9km

We had something like two hours available and thus aimed at "just" Lyderhorn in the neighborhood. Always nice to hike up and down this little mountain with nonetheless impressive views! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Lyderhorn and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet .

Melderskin from Grønestølen (via Store Laurdalen)

Dato:
17.05.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
12:00t
Distanse:
11,4km

For quite a while we had talked about hiking Melderskin one day. Would we have guessed that our window of opportunity to do so would open up exactly on May 17? With an excellent weather forecast in our hands, we decided on rather short notice that we would leave Bergen after work on May 16, taking the fast ferry to Rosendal. We then stayed at Grønestølen over night -- what a nice place?! From there, we then started our hike to Melderskin in the morning of May 17. Our plan was (first) to try getting up to Store Laurdalen in the northwest of Laurdalselva (without a trail). We had studied the map in quite some detail to support our assessment that this should be possible (even though the terrain is certainly very steep there in places). From there, we had (first) in mind to continue the >>>

Vallaheiane via Larsaberget from Tranevatnet

Dato:
11.05.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
40,2km

The main idea was to get some fresh air. I thus took the bike and started with the idea to explore Vallaheiane from Tranevatnet. I first biked south and crossed the partially closed off bridge at Straume. I then continued towards Steinsvik, where I left the "main road" to take a look at Ospåsen, a bit further south. The matter of fact that there's also a golf course in this area does not make getting around easier. Back on my bike, I continued, crossing over Flyplassvegen, to the sports arena next to Grimseidvegen. After a short bio-break at Lagunen, I continued around Apeltunvatnet, then to Iglavatnet, and further to Tranevatnet. I then parked my bike along the gravel road on the south side of Tranevatnet to start my exploration on foot from there. I first found a good way >>>

Herlandsfjellet via Geitaryggen

Dato:
04.05.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:15t
Distanse:
7,9km

I wished to explore a new ascent route to Herlandsfjellet, as well as a new descent route, also. I drove eastwards out of Bergen to connect with E16 at Indre Arna. Right next to the large bridge to Osterøy, I parked the car and started my hike. After only walking a few meters in westerly direction, I passed a few houses at Geila in order to find a connection to Geitaryggen. Indeed, it was well possible and quite enjoyable to cross over to Tverrelva, basically following the traverse where also a water pipe is laid for the houses at Geila. Quickly, I had made it to Tverrelva and crossing over it was also no problem at all. In the southwest of Tverrelva, I then started my ascent to Geitaryggen "for real" (no trail, but very well possible to ascend via this ridge -- yes, it's a >>>

With only little time at our hands (or feet?), we did only a quick excursion to nearby Knappen. Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
