Stålet from Ytre Honningsvåg

Dato:
10.07.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,0km

After not seeing much on Vestkapp , we continued to Honningsvågen to make an attempt at Stålet (as far north as you can get on Stadlandet, or so). We found a convenient place to park in Ytre Honningsvåg, right next to the trail head (place for about two cars). From there, we followed a marked trail that extends northwards from Ytre Honningsvåg, traversing the quite steep western slopes of Storebruna, Storeknausen, and Stålsegga at "half height" (or so). While this hike is not long and you also don't have to make many height meters, just the matter of fact that you traverse a relatively steep mountain side (basically all the way out and in), requires a bit of extra care. Also, if the condition should be wet, there may be risks to slip, which could be quite bad in the steepest sections. >>>

Vasstinden from Lauklineset

Dato:
02.07.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,1km

We estimated that there was enough time for another hike (before reaching our flight back from Tromsø). We drove towards Lauklineset on the north of Nordfjorden and parked a bit off from Lauklineset, where some parking place is set off for hikers (you pay a little for parking there, also). From this parking place, there's a marked trail up to Vasstinden. While still close to the road and Lauklineset, this trail is not very good (and one may prefer to walk the first meters along the road, instead). Once directly above Lauklineset, however, the trail is good, leading steeply upwards between the trees. At about 150masl, the trail levels out for a few meters before it gets steep again. At about 440masl, there's a sign that shows the hikers where the marked trail continues (towards the east, >>>

Buren (and an attempt to Rødtinden)

Dato:
01.07.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,6km

We had relocated ourselves from Senja to Kvaløya (to Ersfjordbotn -- as if there wasn't any Ersfjorden on Senja!). Also this day looked very promising and with wonderful mountains just "around the corner", the plan was to hike up to Buren (without driving). The hidden agenda for this hike was to also try an ascent to Rødtinden, if possible. Starting along Naustbuktvegen, I first walked along the coast into the direction of Gottberget. There, I found a trail that lead me up to a simple ridge which comes down from Skålhammaren (further up in the northeast of Gottberget). Also along this ridge, I could find a simple trail, leading me up to a nice viewpoint at about 200masl (also with a small cairn there). From there, however, I could not find any trail that would lead further >>>

Astritinden from Botnhamn

Dato:
30.06.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
12,7km

We had to catch a ferry from Botnhamn to Kvaløya and thus planned to hike Astritinden in the time given before the departure of "our" ferry. Right next to the soccer field of Botnhamn (near Mølnneset) we could park the car. The hike then starts with getting up to Sandbakkveihøgda, following one of the marked trails (eventually up right underneath the power line). Once up there, it's then "just" to follow the (long) ridge to Astritinden (steadily in northern / northwestern direction). Only a few kilometers into this hike, one puts in a significant ascent (up to Kvannaksla at about 500masl). There, the hike levels out, again, a little, before the actual ascent up to Astritinden follows a little later. While all of the hike to Astritinden is not really difficult, the >>>

Grytetippen and Keipen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
10,2km

Another nice day on Senja, another chance for a nice hike! :-) We drove to Mefjordeidet, basically where Arnakkveien "disappears" into the tunnel down to Ørnfjorden, and parked there at the small parking place. We then started to follow a marked trail "straight up" (in northern direction) that lead us to Daven, a first little top (with nice views, though!). From Daven, it was then across a small saddle (in the east of Daven) and up to some intermediate heights in the south of Keipen (at about 525masl). Crossing over these intermediate heights, first, and then ascending (steeply) up, we arrived at the saddle between Grtyetippen (in the west) and Keipen (in the east / northeast) at about 730 masl. From there, we first included Grytetippen, enjoying fantastic views from >>>

Flobjørn

Turtype:

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

Since we also wanted to hike up Husfjellet in the evening/night, this day, we decided to take it a bit easier during noon-time. Following Bergsfjordveien (through the tunnel to Krokelvvatnet), we drove down Krokelvdalen towards Straumsbotn. Before getting all the way down, however, at about 115masl, we parked next to the road -- right next to the trailhead, also (while there isn't really a parking place, the street is widened there to ease the passing of cars; leaving as much as space as possible, we still found it OK to park there for a few hours). From there, it's then "just" following the marked trail up to Jøvikskaret, first, and then further up to Flobjørn. While this really is a very easy hike, one still gets wonderful views, especially from the top of Flobjørn! After having some >>>

Husfjellet and Litjebrusen

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,7km

After looking at Husfjellet from Flobjørn , earlier the same day, we followed our plan to hike Husfjellet around midnight, exploiting the time of the year when the sun never sets at these latitudes. We parked near Berg church at Skaland and followed the marked trail up to Husfjellet. Up to about 115masl, this trail follows first a gravel road, before then continuing "straight up" on the western side of Sommardalen. On Sommardalhaugen, at about 325masl, then one can enjoy some nice views, already. The continuation towards the ridge that leads up to Rismåltua, which leads across some wet grounds in the uppermost parts of Sommardalen, has suffered by now from the many visitors that have hiked up here. It really looks that some protection, maybe with wooden planks, or the like, would be >>>

Segla and Barden

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
8,3km

We woke up to a wonderful day and decided to do Senja's signature mountain, Segla, at once! :-) We drove through Senja's longest tunnel, Fjordgårdtunnelen, to Fjordgård, were we parked near the trailhead for Segla. We followed the marked trail, first into the direction of Storevatnet, before then turning more towards Segla. Many do this hike to Segla -- thus, the trail is wide and easy to follow. At about 330 masl, one gets to the ridge and thus looks down to Mefjorden first the first time on this hike. The west side of this ridge is really very, very steep (close to vertical, actually), so if you are afraid of heights, then it may be good to choose your steps and views with some care up there. To the top of Segla, it's then "basically" just "straight up" on the >>>

Gjenekletten and Søre Sandknappen on Blomøyna

Dato:
19.06.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,3km

We were up for another trip to Øygarden and chose Blomøyna for a short hike. We left Bergen towards the west and turned right (northwards) on Sotra near Kolltveit. We then followed road #561 until we passed Rong and arrived at Blomøyna via the bridge over Ulvsundet. We then parked right next to road Blomøyvegen (south of Søre Sæle). From there, we first walked along the road (northwards) for a bit (until we had walked around Blomvatnet on our left). There, at Blom, we then left the road towards the right (north) in order to find a connection to Gjenekletten. We first found a proper trail, leading to house #255. Before getting there, we then left this trail and crossed over a little ditch in the northwest of this house. Further north, however, we couldn't see any nice continuation >>>

Gulltjørna from Risnes

Dato:
18.06.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

We liked the idea to paying Gulltjørna another visit and we also liked the idea to do it, again, from the north. Following E16 into the east of Bergen, we left the main road near Romslo in order to connect to the old, narrow road that would bring us closer to Risnes. We found a spot where we could park alongside the road just a short stretch before actually getting all the way to Risnes. From there, we walked first for a short stretch along the road in order to get to our starting point of the actual hike. Right next to the bridge over the stream that comes down there through Risnes, we saw that one could use the steps of the water processing building there to get a bit further up (and away from the road). Where the stairs end, however, one needs to revert to actual hiking (there it's >>>
