Nattlandsfjellet from Landås

Dato:
22.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

In order to (a) make a visit to Nattlandsfjellet and (b) use some fine winter weather, we decided to walk to Nattlandsfjellet from Landås, starting with Sikksakken, i.e., a relatively steep but nice trail up to Landåsfjellet (from Landås). To find the trail-head, one needs to find a minor side-road of Landåslien (leading up to houses 45C and 45D). Once the trail-head is found, stepping up Sikksakken via Kampen is straight-forward, following a nice trail. At about 375mosl, one meets/crosses another trail that leads in north-south direction along the upper western "edge" of Landåsfjellet. Heading further eastwards, we crossed Ormhaugen and ended up at a major trail that extends north-to-south at the western side of Nubbevatnet. A little further south of Nubbevatnet, we connected >>>

Visiting Tobrik

Dato:
14.12.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

Having not so very much daylight at our disposal, we decided to "simply" do a walk in Kanadaskogen. To make this a slightly little bit more interesting, we decided to visit " The other big rock in Kanadaskogen " (Tobrik). We started from Varden and headed first towards Gjeddevatnet. We then hiked along it, continuing to Bjørndalsvatnet, just north of Gjeddevatnet. After having hiked along this little lake, also, we then followed a trail further northwards that leads to Svartatjørna. After having passed this nice little lake on its western side, we continued towards Storamyra. There, a new paved trail has emerged and along with it a wooden shelter for those, who wish to enjoy a dry break very close to Svartatjørna. Instead of staying there, we right away continued and crossed Storamyra off-trail in >>>

Lyderhorn biked&hiked

Dato:
23.11.2019
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
16,6km

This time, we decided to combine a little bike trip with a short hike up and down Lyderhorn. We started from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After passing by Vestkanten at Loddefjord, we continued further northwards along Lyderhornveien in the west of Skarpafjellet. After crossing over the highway, we biked further upwards along Kjøkkelvikveien, passing by Kjøkkelvik school. We left our bikes at the place, where we met Lyderhornslien. From there, we hiked the main trail up in southeastern direction, heading towards Små-Lyderhorn, first. This time, we also took a few extra minutes to actually step up to the "top" of Små-Lyderhorn. There, we enjoyed a better view than expected, so it is in fact worthwhile >>>

Veten and Varden on Eldsfjellet

Dato:
10.11.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,1km

Starting from Bergen, we drove northwards, first, crossing over Nordhordlandsbrua on road E39. On the other side, instead of further following the main road, we turned left and onto road 564 that extends in northwestern direction on the southwestern side of Holsnøy. Eldsfjellet is found quite far in the northwest of Holsnøy and we aimed at parking near Skurtveit, only a bit after coming through Vikebø at Rosslandspollen. Close to Svehaugane, just a few meters up from the sea at Rosslandsvegen, we found a parking opportunity near a place, where apparently the bus also turns around. From there, we started our hike along Skurtveitvegen, first. We followed some minor roads to a point right in the south of Storatjørna from where a trail is starting in northern direction. Passing by Storatjørna >>>

Lyderhorn from Lyderhornsveien

Dato:
03.11.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,2km

With a bit of time and a wonderful November Sunday, we headed for Lyderhorn to get some fresh air. In order to do at least a bit of new research, we decided to try a new ascent (via Skarpafjellet). We parked the car right next to Lyderhornsveien where also an animal clinic is found (near Lyderhornsveien 293). From there we had seen on the map that a trail should start and then lead diagonally upwards in southwestern direction (passing below some cliffs first), before one would be high enough to ascent further to Skarpafjellet (then in northern direction) without any major difficulties. When getting started, however, we got the impression that the owners of the property nearby the trail-head were clear in that they not wish anyone to actually use this trail. Not interested in having any >>>

Mount Seymour near Vancouver

Dato:
26.10.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:45t
Distanse:
10,3km

The weather seemed to promise a nice day and plans were already made in advance! :-) To get started, we had rented a car that would bring us all the way up a little over 1000mosl at the parking lot at the Mount Seymour ski resort, clearly limiting the overall height to climb on this hike! Instead of following the main trail to Mount Seymour from the parking lot, we had planned to visit Mystery Lake, first. While heading for the trail head of the Mystery Lake Hike , rounding Loch Lomond right north of the parking lot, we suddenly became unsure and started to think that we had made our turn to early (while in fact we were 100% right!). Since we did not see any trail markers right where we were, we turned around and went back and then up the main gravel road west of the ski lift in order to find the trail head >>>

Grouse Grind near Vancouver

Dato:
24.10.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
4,5km

Being in Vancouver, Canada, one certainly feels invited to do at least one hike and a good start is to do the Grouse Grind Trail, which leads steeply upwards from the parking lot at the lower station of the cable car "Grouse Mountain Skyride", not far from Capilano Lake. The Grouse Grind web page mentions that you make approximately 850 height-meters (in less than 3 kilometers of length) and that this is done over more than 2800 stairs! Clearly, if you push than this ascent is a good exercise (and many do that, according to the web page). The trail is well marked and in a regular spacing, the hiker/runner is informed about the progress managed so far. Once at the upper end of the Ground Grind Trail, one reaches the upper station of the cable car. Since it is not allowed to go the Grouse Grind Trail >>>

Hausdalshorgi (and Austefjellet) from Hausdalen

Dato:
06.10.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
11,0km

After completing a rather adventurous hike up and down Møsnuken the day before, we were ready for a new adventure! :-) For years, already, we were wondering whether one could hike Hausdalshorgi from "the bottom of" Hausdalen, also. After studying the map carefully, we decided to give this a try. It had appeared quite doable to hike up the southwestern ridge of Hausdalshorgi, at least from the tree line at about 350mosl. The major remaining question then was about how to get up to this point (N60°20′05″, E5°31′15″). The maps suggests one approach via Askestølen (hiking up a forest road from Samdal first and then continuing in the direction of Bjøllebotn). Since this would require a bit of hiking on roads (first along Hausdalsvegen, then along Lundagotnene), we wondered whether a more direct approach from Hausdalsvegen >>>

Møsnuken from Gåssand

Dato:
05.10.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
12,5km

Møsnuken is very much worth a visit, not only for those who live in or around Osøyro. Usually, one would approach Møsnuken from the west (via Tyssdalen), or via Borgafjellet from Os. Less common is the approach from the north, i.e., from Gåssand. Some longer time back, we already tried this once, but failed (we had ended up at the northern side of Krokavatnet and did not see any reasonable way to get over it). So we decided to give this adventure another try! :-) Taking E39 southwards from Bergen, we turned left in Søfteland (where there's a sign towards Gåssand). As soon as one crosses Oselva one continues on the relatively narrow road Gåssandvegen in northeastern direction. After passing through a small valley (Lona) between Raudlifjellet (on the left) and Åsen (on the right), >>>

Sauafjellet from Rolvsvåg

Dato:
29.09.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,3km

For a long time, we had set Sauafjellet aside, keeping it for "another day". Today, we decided to give Sauafjellet a try. To make this a proper hike, we discussed several variants, eventually arriving at the plan to approach Sauafjellet from its south (from Rolvsvåg). Driving northwards on the western side of Samnangerfjorden (following road 579), we parked where Setravegen meets Solbjørgvegen and started our hike along Setravegen until we had passed the industrial area at Rolvsvåg. There we found a forest road that rounds Raudsteinshaugen before then leading northwards into the direction Øykjadalen. At about 110mosl, where the forest road ascends on the eastern side of the valley, we left the forest road and continued upwards to reach the ridge in the east of Øykjadalen, >>>
