Vemånen, Hovden, etc.

Distanse:
7,4km

On this day with a "mixed" weather prediction, we decided to do a smaller hike, still trying something new. We parked near the Unneland Kultur og Aktivitetshus at Unnelandsvegen 253, 5268 Haukeland, and walked from there. Immediately after crossing the bridge over the stream that comes down from Seterdalen (as well as from Rambjørgsgjelet), heading towards Haukelandsvatnet (at Nesvika), we found the path to Vemånen (first passing by Rodalshaugen). This is a very easy to find and nice to walk path, following the ridge (mostly in northern direction) up to Vemånen. Near the top of Vemånen, one gets out of the forest and can enjoy some nice views, in particular over Haukeland and Haukelandsvatnet. The best viewpoint, however, is not at the "top" of Vemånen, but a few >>>

Algrøyna, Barmaneset, Langtrotten -- wow!

We parked the cars just before entering the main village on Algrøyna and started to hike from there. It had just poored down substantially, but as we started hiking the weather improved and soon we saw some sun, also! :-) We first followed the "main road", Nordre Øyavegen, in a longer swing to the right/north, before turning left, continuing on Kongvikvegen. Before the end of this road and about where Kungvika has its western-most point, we left the road, walking around a farm house right next to the road, in order to connect to the southern side of Kungvika (and eventually to Barmaneset). Once on the "middle" peninsula of Algrøyna, we followed a path with blue marks towards the west. This path leads out on Barmaneset and to Krabbakeila at its western end. Enjoying >>>

Hiking the southern part of Strøno

Distanse:
6,1km

There was not really time for a longer hike and also it was expected that some rather heavy rain may come in the early evening. Therefore, we decided to do something smaller, i.e., a hike over Strøno south of Bergen (and west of Osøyro). We passed Fanafjellet with our car and turned right (westwards) at the military camp at Ulven. Following the street, we soon crossed over the bridge at Hillershavn to Strøno. Once on Strøno, we followed the southern street to Sørstrøno. From there, we started hiking, first following a major gravel road which passes by Strønevågen and Selvågspollen (in their northwest). Our first goal was Husfjellet, a little hill that stands a bit for its own in the very south of Strøno. We first continued on the gravel road, making a half-circle around the hill >>>

Via Purkedalsgjelet to Kofta etc.

Distanse:
18,2km

This hike, and in particular the part through Purkedalsgjelet up to Kofta, was one that asked for a careful preparation. It's recommended that you study the circumstances carefully and choose also the weather conditions appropriately. In order to enjoy this hike, you should (a) be at least somewhat experienced with hiking in the mountains around Bergen, in particular also without a path (finding your way, etc.) and (b) choose a dry day on which you can expect that there would not be too much water coming down Purkedalsgjelet (I'd rather not go this hike when snow is melting on Gullfjellet, or after some heavy rain). Take care (and enjoy)! :-) We parked along the road from Os to Samnanger (#137), which passes Gullfjellet on its eastern (generally very steep) side. Actually, we first missed >>>

Rimstigfjellet via Rimstigen

10,2km

We took road E16 to Gudvangen first, before continuing from there towards Bakka on the western side of Nærøyfjorden. Only a short bit after Bakka, we found a good way to park next to the road. We then hiked the impressive Rimstigen up---what a path up through this very steep terrain right next to the fjord?! Wow! At about 700mosl, the path flattens out (a bit), leading into a side valley, exending westwards (and away from the fjord). Up there, it is really very lovely! After walking for short along a not so steep path, the trail heads up Skarsbakkane (steep again), right next to a little stream (also called Tufteelvi up there?) with a nice waterfall quite high up on the mountain side! At about 1100mosl, one gets over "the second step" in this hike, meeting Skarsvotni right >>>

Jordalsnuten from Jordalen

Turlengde:

Distanse:
5,8km

We took road E16 into direction of Gudvangen first and turned to the left (towards Jordalen) after descending into Nærøydalen below Stalheim. We then drove through the new tunnel (now on the eastern side of the valley) up to Jordalen. After leaving the tunnel, we crossed one bridge immediately, before parking the car just ahead of the next bridge. From there we hiked, first over the bridge to the other side of Jordalselvi (to its eastern side), then southwards along the steep eastern side of the valley (into the direction of Jordalsnuten), following a proper path (note that the trail head is not really easy to see; we needed a bit of searching until we found it). It's interesting, also, that the path leads first (more or less) horizontally (with quite a bit of up and down, though) out >>>

I drove from Bergen to Os in the south and then further into the direction of Hattvika, where a ferry can take you over to Venjaneset (Fusa). Only a few hundred meter before reaching the ferry stop, I turned left and drove up a little road towards Berge. More or less at the first possibility, I parked and started walking (first following the road further up, in northeastern direction). After passing by the houses at Tussaskarva, I found the spot, where the road crosses a little stream, coming down from the right (east). There, it was possible to leave the road and continue on a simple tractor road in northeastern direction (basically following the stream). At about 120mosl, the valley forks into two and I took the left one, continuing in norther direction. This lead me, as expected, to >>>

We had the (kind of ambitious) plan to walk a round over Nordhordlandskulten, descending to the south from it (even though it was unclear from the consulted maps, whether this should be reasonably doable, given the also quite steep side of the mountain there). To have the car at the right side of the mountain, we parked along Gåssandvegen near a place called Haukeland. The first task was to find the path, which would lead northover in order to bring us to a place from which it would be reasonable to cross over to the main path up to Nordhordlandskulten (the standard approach is from Tømmernes, a little further north). After a little bit of searching, we quickly found the track which leads northwards into Vetlaleitet (a quite nice little valley, in fact!). We then also found the tractor >>>

Slettegga and Nobbane

Distanse:
8,6km

We parked at the Bontveit saddle (where the street crosses over to Hausdalen). From there, we first followed a gravel road that leads northwards. At about 360mosl, we continued along the road, which leads relatively steeply up to Langemyrskaret on the left. Once up there, we continued along the road first, before then following a path, which leads up to Rambjørgvatnet. From there, we started our real ascent to Slettegga, going in northeastern direction. Getting higher, we enjoyed some dramatically looking views into the direction of Arna (the weather was not all sunny). From the top of Slettegga, we first continued along a path, leading into the direction of Austefjellet. Soon after, however, we left the path to cross over to Nobbane, right next to Slettegga and a little lower in altitude. >>>

Nice and wild Skogsøyna

Distanse:
8,1km

We parked our cars near the bridge between Skogsøyna and Herdlevær, where a board also tells the hikers about the island and the paths that one can take. From there, we followed the main path along the northwestern shore of Skogsøyna, heading towards the spectacular southwestern end of the island. After a bit of hiking, we approached Skogsøytua, i.e., the highest point on this trip (about 45mosl). From there, instead of heading back "as usually", we first explored the lower parts of the cliffs at Skogshola. Note that it is critical that you indeed judge the situation correctly in order to avoid any dangerous and unwanted problems with the sea. Should it happen that a wave takes you off the stones, it is likely possible that you will end up in severe troubles (others have >>>
