Tverrfjellet from Bidne

Dato:
06.08.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
13,6km

The weather forecast was moderately OK (quite a bit overcast with realistic chances for some rain), so we aimed for a moderate hike, bringing us not too high up (and into the clouds). Since we had not been there before and expected at least some nice views from up there, our choice was to hike up to Tverrfjellet from Oppheim. We thus drove to Oppheim first and then left the main road (E16) near Framnes to drive up a simple road into the direction of Bidne. A few meters after reaching Bidne (that's about one kilometer from E16), we turned right (eastwards) and drove a few meters more towards Bidneshovden. There, we parked and started our hike (in northern direction, on a forest road). We followed the forest road northwards, staying on the western side of Sundsvålselvi, steadily ascending >>>

Distanse:
9,7km

When staying over night in Haugsvær, we were recommended to ascend to Gråsida from Indre Haugsdal. So that's what we did then! :-) We drove road E39 "back" south (into the direction of Bergen) and turned right in Matre (to leave E39 before entering Masfjordtunnelen). This brought us onto the old road and following it we entered Indre Haugsdal from Haugsdalvågen. Driving up this nice valley, we came by three particular hills (in the middle of the valley), which possibly gave the valley its name. Near Kjetland we crossed the river on an old stone bridge, turning right (into the direction of Storemyr) right after the bridge. Since we did not see any particular good parking opportunity next to this narrow road, we drove all the way to Storemyr and asked there. Luckily, we were >>>

Around Hopsdalen

Dato:
31.07.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
8:30t
Distanse:
22,4km

We drove along road E39 from Bergen northwards (into the direction of Masfjorden). After driving down through the long Masfjordtunnelen and passing through Matre at the very end of Matresfjorden, we crossed over to Haugsvær "behind" Nonklettfjellet. Before the main road (E39) disappears into another tunnel, we turned left in Haugsvær and parked right there. Our (slightly ambitious) plan for the afternoon was to go around Hopsdalen (from Høgfjellet via Grønefjellet to Gavlen, and back via Rustefjellet). Considering the steep sides of Hopsdalen, we had looked at the map regarding a possible place for getting up to the top of the surrounding mountains. Near Indre Skjerjehogen, on the north side of Haugsværfjorden, we had thought that it should be possible to reach saddle Sygnegga >>>

Nessteinen from Mundheim

Dato:
25.07.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
8,4km

Having been "in the area", we decided to include a hike up to Nessteinen (or Steinen), expecting some nice views over Hardangerfjorden from up there. Another reason for choosing something not more extensive was the expectation of an overcast day with somewhat unstable weather. We drove the very nice road 49 from Norheimsund southwards (first around Visoldo to Strandebarm and then further southwards along Daurmålsegga to Mundheim). In Mundheim, we parked and started our hike first for a few meters northwards along road 48. At Oppheim, we crossed Storelva and walked up a simple field road to about 50mosl, where the field road meets the forest. From there, we continued along an not really used forest road, leading diagonally upwards (in eastern direction). At about 75mosl, however, >>>

Skrott and Breidablik from Fitjadalen

Dato:
24.07.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
12,5km

Expecting a nice summer day, we headed into the direction of Hardanger. Our plan was to ascend to Skrott, starting from Fitjadalen. After first driving to Øystese, via Kvamskogen, we turned into a northwards direction in Øystese, ascending east of Øysteseelva towards Fitjadalsvatnet. After rounding Fitjadalsvatnet on its eastern side, we parked at Fitjadalen and started hiking along the nicely marked trail leading up to Breidablik via Håsete and Vindskjersleitet. One first walks a bit "kind of" level until crossing Kjølo, coming down from Smørdalen, before then starting a significant ascent into the direction of Håsete. All in all, there isn't too much interesting to write about this trail, rather than that it's straight-forward to follow. At Håsete, we deviated for >>>

Visiting Kavlane from Kallestad

Dato:
11.07.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
12,2km

Hoping for a bit of OK weather, we aimed at the islands in the west of Bergen. Road 555 brought us to Sotra, where we turned south. Passing by Fjell and continuing along road 555 into the direction of Hammarsland, we turned right after Dalseidet, taking road 203 towards Kallestad. There, we parked right next to Grendahuset, starting our hike from there, passing by a few of the houses of Kallestad before getting "out into the wild", west of Kallestad. While the first meters past the last house are still on a kind of gravel road, this quickly changes into a nicely marked trail (Nordsjøløypen), which passes by Stølstjørna (in its southwest), then turning westwards, again, leading through a minor valley to Kjereidet. There, Kørelen (in the south) empties into Kjereidosen (in >>>

Skåldalsfjellet from Bjørndalen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
8,1km

We drove past Grimevatnet and Haukelandsvatnet into the direction of Osavatnet near Gullfjellet, but stopped next to Gullfjellsvegen where the road crosses a small saddle between Ramsdalshovden in the east and Vemånen in the west to continue along Skåldalselva from there. Leaving our car behind, we continued along this road walking, first around Ramsdalshovden on the right (south) and then around Hjelterinden on the left (north). At Søre Bjørndalen, we used a bridge which leads over Skåldalselva to a few houses on the north-side of the valley. Once on this other side, there, we continued first further along a simple road (passing by Nordre Bjørndalen), before starting our actual ascent to Skåldalsfjellet via Høgrusten. On Norgeskart, we had seen that -- while not on a trail -- it >>>

Kofta (and Gullfjellet) from Nordbø

Dato:
20.06.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
12,6km

For at least two years, already, we had (occasionally) considered this hike: Kofta from Nordbøbotnen. After a relaxing morning, and knowing that the days are (very) long at this time of the year, we decided to go and do it. We drove from Bergen (via E16 first, then across Gullbotn) and left road #7 right after Hisdalstunnelen (to the right), where it leads on into the direction of Osøyro. Driving down road #137 for only a short stretch, we came to Nordbø, where we turned right (again), now in northern direction. From there, we continued for just about 850m, or so, until we had passed the last house. There, before entering the forest, we parked next to the road. We first walked along the forest road (the same road that we had come in with the car further down) up to about 200mosl (only >>>

Storenuten and Vardane

Dato:
14.06.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,3km

We expected (for good reasons) a nice Sunday and thus aimed at a nice (new) hike! We had looked at Storenuten, south of Vaksdal, not very far from Bergen. Taking road E16 into the direction of Voss, we turned right in Vaksdal, after driving through Bogatunnelen. We then rounded Sørbø, in the south of Vaksdal, passing by the non-small church of Vaksdal. We then followed what previously must have been the main road to Bergen in southern direction, getting to Bogo within a bit. At Ytre Bogo we parked along Bogavegen and started our hike there. After a careful study of the map (at home), we aimed for Storenuten "as directly as possible". This, clearly, is non-trivial, without a trail, and should be planned carefully when considered! Alternatively, one may follow a nice trail, >>>

Hovlandsnuten and Etlådnefjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:15t
Distanse:
11,8km

For years, we had talked about "one day" visiting Tysnes and doing some nice hike there. This weekend, with warm and sunny weather, seemed to be perfect to actually do it! :-) We drove from Bergen to Halhjem (southwest of Osøyro) and took the ferry to Vågen from there. Already this crossing of Bjørnafjorden was nice, with nice views towards south and east! Once on Tysnes, we drove first east (towards Lundegrend). There, we turned right (and south) and crossed over to the southeastern side of Tysnes (Hovland & Tveit). Our plan was to go a nice round over Hovlandsnuten, maybe the most spectacular mountain on Tysnes (not the hightest though). We parked near Tveitneset and started to hike along a forest road that extends southwards (parallel to the steep mountain side there, >>>
