Round around Bjørndalsvatnet

Dato:
20.11.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,7km

Heading for some fresh air, we decided to make a round around Bjørndalsvatnet. Starting from Varden, we first crossed over Bjørgeveien into the direction of Knappen, ascending Sandeidbrotet to reach the trail that would bring us over to Bjørgelien. Via Bjørgebrekken, we then connected to Bjørgedalen and we used the connection down to Kjerreidvika. On the other side, we ascended to Ørnahaugen, before continuing further northwards to Bjørndalsskogen. There, we crossed Bjørgeveien (again) and descended to Bjørndalsvatnet. Surrounding the lake in its north, we got to the eastern side, where we followed trails back to Varden, also passing by Gjeddevatnet after getting over between the two lakes east of Elvareidet. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Gullfjelltoppen via Glamregjelet

Dato:
19.11.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
11,8km

We expected a day with nice weather and decided to use it well. For a while, we had considered to ascend to Gullfjelltoppen via Glamregjelet, i.e., the valley in the northwest of Gullfjelltoppen. Assuming that the condition for exploring this route would be OK, we decided to try it. We started driving up Gullfjellsvegen to park at the parking place next to Osavatnet. From there, we first walked along the gravel road that leads up to the dam of Svartavatnet. Instead of following the "main road", which leads further up to Redningshytten, we took the convenient stairs up on the northern side of the dam, arriving close to the water level of Svartavatnet in the south of Svartavassrinden. While one of the two of us continued "horizontally", following the northwestern shore >>>

Gravdalsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,0km

We wished to get some fresh air and thus headed into Kanadaskogen (after first "bridging" the first few meters until we had passed by Hesjaholten). From Hesjakollen, we entered the forest (first a few meters steeply up) to cross over the small hills between Stora and Litla Krokatjørna. Passing by Spelhaugen, we continued up Mørkbotn to get to the southern end of the southern ridge of Eikelifjellet. Following this ridge, we ascended to Eikelifjellet, enjoying some nice views towards the west and southwest. From Eikelifjellet, we continued further northwards, into the direction of Nipetjørna. From there, we took two separate routes up to Gravdalsfjellet, one around the east of Nipetjørna and one around the west of it. After meeting again on Gravdalsfjellet, we started our >>>

Løvstakken via Manndomsprøven

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
3,3km

Despite of the wet weather, I saw a chance to try out something interesting: Manndomsprøven on Løvstakken (who would have thought?! :-)). In April, 2022, another user of Peakbook, Knut Sverre , described his/their ascent to Løvstakken via Manndomsprøven , a particular place on the southwestern side of Løvstakken. I got inspired already then, but hadn't had the chance to try this route before. To get there, I parked along Krohnegården, northeast of Svartatjørna, and followed first Krohnegården back southwards, passing by Svartatjørna. Once passed the rather steep western side of Nova, I crossed Krohnegården and started my ascent via Bustingen, first. A little northeast of Rosenlundveien, I connected to the trail that leads steeply up to Løvstakken from Rosenlundveien. After following this trail for a short stretch (up to about 300mosl), I deviated >>>

Stendafjellet from the north

Turtype:

Turlengde:

Distanse:
2,2km

Even though it all looked (and was!) a rainy day, we still wished to get some fresh air. Since we had something else to do nearby, we decided to just quickly include a short detour up and down Stendafjellet (from the north). Driving up Øvre Krohnåsen, we found a spot to park near the playing ground at the upper end of this road. From there, we started our short hike towards the "top" of Stendafjellet, choosing a route through the forest (without a trail). All this was straight-forward and without any difficulties (at about 200masl, there's a little cliff, which is easy to get around, though). On Stendafjellet, we visited the lookout point, looking down to Fanafjorden from there, before then returning (along a similar, but still a bit different route). All in all, this was >>>

Round around Dyrdalsvatnet from Øvstebø

Dato:
15.10.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
10,1km

We expected a rather nice autumn day and decided to hike up to Hausdalshorgi, one of our favorite mountains near Bergen. A good way to approach Hausdalshorgi is from Øvstebø, a short way further northeast from Bontveit. The usual route leads first up to Dyrdalsvatnet (parallel to Dyrdalselva, on its northwestern side) and from there further up to Hausdalshorgi, conveniently using a little bridge over Dyrdalselva (when it's not swept away by some floods as a few years back). This time, we wished to explore an alternative approach to Hausdalshorgi, crossing Dyrdalselva already at Øvstebø, then ascending through the forest up to Bjørnaberget, and then further up along a small ridge that extends in northwestern direction from Bjørnaberget. Even though the stretch up to Bjørnaberget is >>>

Lyderhorn from Loddefjord

Dato:
11.09.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,2km

With only limited time available, we decided to "just" make a short hike to Lyderhorn, exploring a new "corner" of this rather well-known mountain. We started biking to Loddefjord. We then continued up a side road of Lyderhornsveien, which services the power facility a few meters above Loddefjord, right below Skarpafjellet. From there, we first followed the trail that leads up to Grøvledalen, but decided to follow a slightly different route up, first. Soon later, we reconnected with the trail between Skarpafjellet and Lyderhorn. From there, it was then basically up and down Lyderhorn, mostly following trails. On the way back, we then descended towards Loddefjord through Grøvledalen. Nice to explore new routes, even on an often visited mountain like Lyderhorn! :-)

Gaustadfjellet, Litlafjellet, Bårafjellet, Øyjordsfjellet

Looking forward to a nice day, we decided to pay Gaustadfjellet on Holsnøy a visit. To get there, we crossed Krossnessundet right after driving over Nordhordlandsbrua, north of Bergen. Then, we followed road 5310 northwestwards, kind of parallel to Radfjorden on our right side. Since we wished to start our hike from the southeast, traversing all of Gaustadfjellet (and further), we first needed to find a proper parking place along Ådlandsvegen. After a bit of back and forth, we managed to park properly along this rather narrow road. We then followed a not really well visible trail to the southern ridge of Gaustadfjellet (Storhøyden). From there, then, we could use a nice trail that extends over most of this ridge. It's actually a very nice alternative to the otherwise shorter ascent >>>

Lyshornet from Lysekloster

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,3km

To get some fresh air, we decided to do a simple hike, not far from home: Lyshornet. We parked near Lysekloster and followed the main trail to Lyshornet from there. This lead us up to Lyshornskaret from where a short detour to Vetla Lyshornet was included. After enjoying the day for a moment on Lyshornet, we then started our hike down, following a trail towards the west from the top. This trail leads one down to the service road, which leads up to Ulvvatnet from Lyseklostervegen. Once on this road, it was then to first walk it down, before then following Lyseklostervegen back up to where we had parked. Clearly a nice little round with some nice views from Lyshornet. Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Lysehornet and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lysehornet . Web page UT.no from the >>>

Barmaneset on Algrøyna

Dato:
13.08.2022
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,8km

A nice summer day invited us to redo one of our well liked hikes on Algrøyna: to Barmaneset and back. Parking in the east of the little village on Algrøyna, along Nordre Øyavegen, we first followed the street a little further, before turning to the left and onto Kongvikvegen. Once passed Jonsokhaugen, we left the road, rounding a farm house on the way down to the innermost end of Kungvika. There, we "crossed over" to the southern side in order to end up on Barmaneset, not on Smalaneset, north of Barmaneset. Walking out to Barmaneset is then easy, following a proper trail. Once at the western end of the trail, we continued a bit further out towards Langtrotten, which always impresses with its wild nature. On the way back, we then followed "the other trail", a little >>>
