Nice round on Herdla

Dato:
16.02.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,7km

With yet another sunny day on the horizon, we thought that visiting Herdla (after a long time again) would be nice. We thus drove across Askøy and parked near the church of Herdla. We then walked along Herdlevegen to get first to Valen. After following the "inner" shoreline (to Herdlevågen), we followed a historic access road up Småkalvsøyna, exploring some of the still present WWII positions there. From the southeastern "top" of Småkalvsøyna, we then aimed directly at Storakalvsøyna, right in the east of Småkalvsøyna. This brought us to the southeastern end of Paddehola, offering some nice views from there. We also crossed over the south end of this isthmus, enjoying some additional nice views also from there. From there, we then found a reasonable way up >>>

Kannikahaugen from Bildøybakken

Dato:
15.02.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
12,0km

With a really nice weather forecast, we just wished to use the good weather for a nice walk. The idea was to start at Bildøyfjellet, north of Liatårnet on Sotra, and then hike a (squished) round from there (without any plan to actually ascend to Pyttane nor Liatårnet). We parked right next to Bildøybakken, not far from the corner, where one can also drive to Liaskjeret. Instead of using the access road towards the dam of Bildøyvatnet, we aimed at Bildøyfjellet directly (and without a trail). Given the below freezing temperatures, we found the conditions just right for such an off-trail ascent. Within not too long, we then arrived at Bildøykletten (and at the trail, there). We then followed the trail southwards (via Steinane and Vardafjellet). Before descending to Fjellfestningen, >>>

Hananipa

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

We expected a nice day and tought that Hananipa would be a nice goal. In fact, we tought that making a nice round, including Raudnipa and/or Trollabotsvarden, would be a good idea. We drove out of Bergen into the direction of Voss and left road E16 at Trengereid to drive up to Nordre Skulstad. There, we parked and started our hike by heading towards Geitshushaugen, first, and then further up to Åsen, before connecting to Brunane. After following Brunane all the way up, we then continued up to Hananipa via its western ridge. Already at home, we had talked about the slightly steep section from Hananipa down to Sauaskaret; when then stepping towards this section, we concluded that we did not feel safe enough (with all the snow etc.). We thus turned around and headed back down the western >>>

Hausdalshorgi via Edne from Hausdalen

Dato:
01.02.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
10,8km

On the map, we had started wondering whether it should not be alright to ascend to Hausdalshorgi from Hausdalen. With some over-optimistic hopes for some sun, we headed into Hausdalen and parked at the very end of the road, where we often would start to hike into Brekkedalen. The idea was to walk a short stretch further up Hausdalen, before then aiming at a ridge in the south of Hausdalshorgi with the name of Edne on it on the map. East of Langhaugen, where a stream comes down from Hausdalshorgi, we then left the main trail, which leads further into Hausdalen, seeing where it would be best to get up to the targeted ridge. After crossing the stream, we saw with some positive surprise that quite obviously this place was used to get higher up the hillside long before us, already (while no >>>

Stroll through snow and sun around Bjørndalsvatnet

Dato:
01.01.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
8,2km

A snowy day with nice weather: a good reason for making a stroll in the neighborhood! We started with Eldtona on Knappefjellet before "turning around" and heading northwards to make a round around Bjørndalsvatnet before returning back to Varden. Not a very long hike, but very nice with the snow and some sun, also! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Løvstakken and Løvstien

Dato:
30.12.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,8km

Together with friends, we had decided to use the afternoon for a short hike in the local area. We parked in the east of Litlavatnet in the northeast of Fyllingsdalen and headed up to Løvstakken following the main trail from the parking place. From the top of Løvstakken, we then descended towards the southeast using a minor trail a bit further east than the main trail in the south of Løvstakken. This brought us down to Løvstien, which we then followed (in northern direction) to complete a round back to Fyllingsdalen. Our timing was just right to cross over Løvstakken without any need for head lights -- down on Løvstien, we then took advantage of the installed lights. At the end of the hike, it started to snow, adding a nice touch to the overall experience! :-) Selected photos are available >>>

Kyrkjenibben etc.

Dato:
23.12.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,4km

We expected the higher tops to be covered with clouds and thus decided to instead head towards the coast for a simple hike. We knew that one should be able to find a historic connection between Morland and Fjell, kyrkjevegen, which apparently was used by the people of Morland to get to the church in Fjell previously. We started near the church in Fjell and followed kyrkjevegen until we came to the south end of Eidesvatnet. Instead of following kyrkjevegen further northwards from there, we had already decided that we wished to include a detour to Gardafjellet a bit further west. Following a trail around Kvernhaugen (around the south of Liavatnet) brought us to the trail up to Gardafjellet (in northwestern direction). At Gardafjellet we enjoyed some nice views, before continuing -- then >>>

Nice round around Korsneset

Dato:
08.12.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,5km

The weather was looking good for this Sunday and so we aimed at getting some fresh air around our heads. We headed via Fana to Korsneset and parked at the parking place right at the entry to the military area. Our first goal was Hendershaugen in the south of the road. To get there, we first walked the road back a few meters, before then heading towards the top of Hendershaugen along the outer rim of the military area. Even though Hendershaugen is not very high, it's still nice to get up there and enjoy some nice views. From Henderhaugen, we then headed northwards. More or less right where we stepped out of the forest and onto Korsnesvegen, we decided to continue northwards via the eastern heights of Korsneset (instead of walking back to the parking place). Within a few minutes, we were >>>
