Knappen

Dato:
10.04.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,4km

With little time available, we "just" made a quick excursion to Knappen. After walking down from Varden (to Bjørgeveien), we stepped upwards first on Sandeidbrotet (in the south of Gjeddevatnet). Where Sandeidbrotet turns left (eastwards), we continued on the nice trail that extends into the direction of Bjørgelien. Instead of just following this trail (and the one the forks off towards Knappen from it somewhere "half-way" towards Bjørgelien) all the way up, we experimented a little with the (a bit steep) terrain, ascending on something that only with the greatest optimism can be called a trail (it did not matter, though, and all of that was short and quick anyway). Once on the ridge, we just crossed it (in nice winter weather) towards Eldtona and Knappen. After >>>

Enjoying Tyssøy

Dato:
03.04.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,7km

After some back and forth, we decided to "just enjoy the sun" at Tyssøy (instead of doing something more substantial). Taking the deep under-sea tunnel to Bjorøyna and continuing from there further southwards, we soon after arrived at Tyssøy. We parked right at the first parking place (north of Støene) and started our walk from there. This time, we decided to cross Tyssøy's highest point (a small hill of 80m height!), so instead of following the main trail, we stepped into the kingdom of the goats at once (southwest of Støene) and ascended swiftly to the top from there. Even though Varden is not really a substantial top, it still offers some very nice views over the Fjord! From there, we first followed a marked trail down (a little), before connecting to the main trail >>>

Crossing Borga from/to Borgo

Dato:
02.04.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,5km

Since it had been a while, since we last were on Borga, we thought that we could pay this nice mountain near Arna another visit. We left Bergen towards the East, passing by Grimevatnet along the way. Near Haukeland, we turned left from Hardangervegen, heading into Langedalen. At Borgo, we parked next to the road and started our hike. From the road we had already double-checked that ascending along the southern (steep) ridge of Borga (south of Kvitnosa) appeared possible (while still a bit challenging). Keeping a little east of the actual ridge, we ascended more or less directly up through some half-open forest. Avoiding cliffs, this way, we managed to straight-forwardly ascend towards Kvitenosa, stepping up over mostly grass in between generously spaced trees. This ascent is indeed quite >>>

Crossing Midtfjellet and Lørdagsknausen

Dato:
01.04.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
14,6km

The idea was to cross Midtfjellet, between Fløyen and Rundemanen, from north to south. We took a bus to Skuteviken and walked up towards Mulen from there. Instead of stepping up to the dam on the north side of the valley, where the main route is, we went up on the Breistølen side, passing by the little water reservoir at Mulen on its southern side. Once on its eastern side, in the lower parts of Skredderdalen, we crossed the little stream and connected with the main route. Following this main path upwards (it's steep there, but a common trail, nonetheless), we came to Nedrediket and "road" Byfjellene there. Crossing the little dam on the northwestern side of Nedrediket, we continued our way upwards until we were right next to the northern end of Nordre Midtfjellet. To get >>>

A round west of Arna, including Stikka

Dato:
27.03.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,5km

With the perspective of a half-dry, half-wet day ahead of us, we decided for another hike not too far from home. This time, our goal was to explore the hills in the west of Arna and Arnavågen. We thus left Bergen towards the east, aiming for Mjeldheimskleiva, where we parked just above Kleivadalen (in the west, a bit above Arna). We left the road basically where it crosses the little stream that comes down there from the northwest (and where the power line crosses the street, also). After some only 50 meters parallel to the stream, we started our (short) ascent to Vårheia (more or less directly in northern direction). On our way up there, we deviated a little from the trail and ascended across the southern ridge of Vårheia instead (also coming by a little cabin that can be found in >>>

Stortårnet and Nilskyrkja

Dato:
21.03.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

Our idea was to explore the west of Dala, south of Fjell in Øygarden. After driving westwards from Bergen, we turned south once on Sotra. Passing by Fjell, we soon arrived in Dala, where we parked next to the main road. The first (small) hiking goal of the day was Stortårnet in th southwest of Dala. After crossing a playing ground right next to Dalseidet, we started a short ascent (first without any trail). Once above 70mosl, we connected to a simple trail which then lead us to Stortårnet. Before turning back, we first explored the area a little, including the mobile sender mast in the southeast of the top (northwest of Dalatjørna). We then continued northwestwards from Stortårnet, reaching Ærhaugane soon after while walking over the ridge parallel to Trengereidpollen some 75 meters >>>

Vardetangen

Dato:
14.03.2021
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,8km

The plan for this all-in-all comparably wet day was to visit Vardetangen, i.e., Norway's western-most point, when disregarding islands. Driving north from Bergen we passed through Knarvik and continued further northwards Lindås and Mongstad. Soon after, we arrived in Austrheim and parked near Torvneset right next to Ervika. From there, it was then a short walk towards Vardetangen, where we recognized that quite a bit had changed since our last visit (the cabin, for ex., is new and also the trail there has been upgraded). After staying at Vardetangen for a short while, we continued towards Årvika along the northern shoreline. There, we used a nice wooden shelter to have a short break with some nice snacks. At last, we completed a little round back to the parking place, coming by Træsvika >>>

Hetlebakksåta and Erviknipa from Breistein

Dato:
28.02.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,2km

We somehow thought that it may be worthwhile to explore the ridge in the south of Erviknipa, southeast of Hetlebakksåta. We drove to Breistein via Åsane and parked quite a bit south on Breisteinvegen. According to our plan to hike a round, we first walked northwards (towards Nygård) to find an opportunity for ascending to Hetlebakksåta. When looking at the map before leaving, we had estimated that it should be possible to ascend towards Fosseskaret there and indeed this is well possible from Nygård (the "trails" up there are not very clear, but possible to find and certainly also possible to ascend, just a bit steep). At about 130mosl, we entered the little valley that comes down from Fosseskaret, right where there is a little waterfall down towards Breistein. At Fosseskaret, >>>

Lerkhaugen, Lisahaugen, and Gullsteinen

Dato:
21.02.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,1km

With only a bit of time available, we headed for a short hike in the neighborhood. To include at least one spot of (limited) interest, we decided to aim for Lisahaugen near Langegården in the northeast of Kråkenes. We parked near the southern end of Løvstien (at Øvre Kråkenes) and ascended to Lerkhaugen, first. Thereafter, we crossed Løvstien and continued to Lisahaugen (from its south). Crossing Lisahaugen south-to-north, we came back to Løvstien (for a moment), before changing course, again, and then aiming at Langatjørna in the west of Mindebakken. This ascent from Løvstien is a bit steep, but well possible and actually quite nice through th forest there. North of Langatjørna we then turned around, heading back via Gullsteinen. South of Gullstølen, we descended along some >>>

Walk along Sælenvatnet

Dato:
14.02.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
2,3km

With just a little time at our disposal, we decided to quickly get a little fresh air and make a short walk along the shoreline of (frozen) Sælenvatnet. After walking down from Varden, we crossed over Fyllingsdalsveien, using a small bridge near the big junction with Bjørgeveien. Once on the other side, we walked onto this particular peninsula that extends into Sælenvatnet on its western side. Following some small, but "beaten" paths, we rounded most of this peninsula, before heading back and up to Varden, again. Nice with all that snow! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
