Grytetippen and Keipen

- 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 >>>
Husfjellet and Litjebrusen

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 >>>

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 >>>
Segla and Barden

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:

- Distanse:

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:

- Turtype:

- 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 >>>
Round around Ono

While checking for new places in Øygarden that we had not visited so far, we found Ono and decided to make a hike there. After driving first westwards out of Bergen (towards Sotra), we then turned right (in northern direction) near Kolltveit, following then road #561. At Rong, we then turned left (westwards, again) in order to get over to Ono (passing the school of Rong along Svartevikvegen). After crossing two small bridges, we had arrived at Ono. There, we parked "at once" next to the road Onevegen. The southern part of Ono is well marked for hikers -- especially those, who wish to visit Dethloffhytta in the southwest of Ono. We followed first this main trail (in southwestern direction) until we crossed over the inner end of Stekkane. On the other, southern side, we then >>>
Gullsteinen from Varden

We wished to get some fresh air and thus headed for Gullsteinen (from Varden). We first descended from Varden to Sælevatnet, before then surrounding Bondegården in its north. Via Ture Nermans vei we then connected to Rekdalsveien, which we then followed "all the way up" to the point, where one can step down some stairs to the sports area in Fjellsdalen. We then stepped up Hattedalen to get to Bråtet. From there, we then started our ascent to Gullsteinen. While one of us found a way (more a "way"!) up to Knultrane, the other one continued along the gravel road to Nils Langhellesvei (where we met, again, then). From there, it was then up via the southern ridge to Gullsteinen, mostly following the nice trails along this ridge. From the top of Gullsteinen, however, >>>
Rindafjellet from Gåssand (wow!)

We expected a nice Sunday and headed out for a special "project": Rindafjellet from Gåssand! This clearly became a bit of an adventure and (quite) a bit of a challenge, also. It may be good to read the following before possibly retracing our hiking track (the hike was very nice, yes, but also a bit long and very steep up to Rindafjellet!).
We drove south from Bergen (along E39 into the direction of Os) and took the small road that leads to Gåssand, after all. Before actually coming to the south end of Ytsta Raudlivatnet, however, we parked at the relatively large parking spot near Hatlelia. From there, we then first walked further along Gåssandvegen, crossing Nordelva north of Gåssand. At the other side of the bridge, we turned left and followed a track across Nauslia that >>>
Ankerhytten from Sandviken

- Distanse:
- 11,1km
We somehow decided to go a round near Bergen and thus took the bus to Sandviken. After first walking up to Fjellveien, we continued along it to get to Permisjonsstien. This brought us up to Sandviksbatteriet, where we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden. Next on the agenda was to get over to Munkebotn, cross over the stream that runs out of Munkebotsvatnet towards the north, and take the trail up to cabin Ravneberg. This trail is actually quite steep (but nice and straight-forward to hike up), offering some nice views along it. Continuing along the trail, we then passed by (closed) Sandvikshytten, before heading further upwards into the direction of Kvitebjørnen. Instead of hiking all the way to the top of Kvitebjørnen, however, we then followed a lower trail that was supposed to bring >>>
