Luxembourg via the Plateau de Kirchberg

Dato:
01.06.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
11,6km

Evening walk to downtown Luxembourg. I started from Parc Hotel Alvisse and ascended first the Plateau de Kirchberg at op de Schleed. I then headed to the still relatively newly built up area at the Plateau de Kirchberg. There, I then passed by the Philharmonic Hall of Luxembourg. I then walked through the fortifications at Fort Thüngen to descend into the valley of the Alzette. On the other side, I found a way to get up to the Plateau Altmünster. From there, I used the Montée de Clausen to get into the city of Luxembourg. After walking across both the Place Guillaume II and the Place d'Armes, I then decided that it was time to head back to the hotel. Near the Rue des Bains, I got onto the Avenue de la Porte-Neuve, which I then followed until I got on the Rue des Glacis. Where this >>>

Exploring the south of Turøyna

Dato:
30.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,2km

The day was just too nice to not escape in the evening for a short exploration of the south of Turøyna. We parked near the central roundabout at Turøyna and tried to find a good entry point from Kalderasvegen to start our exploration. We first left the road prematurely and then, after getting back we tried again a few meters further in the southwest. The trail head is basically invisible from the road, but we found it anyway (at the second attempt). From there, the trail is barely visible and one quickly gets in a pretty wet forest just a few meters from the road. Navigating some minor ups and downs, we then made it to the northern ridge of a small hill south of Kalderasvegen. We then made it through another small valley to get to the next hill, a bit further to the SSW. After crossing >>>

Lyderhorn

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,9km

We had something like two hours available and thus aimed at "just" Lyderhorn in the neighborhood. Always nice to hike up and down this little mountain with nonetheless impressive views! :-) 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 Lyderhorn and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet .

With only little time at our hands (or feet?), we did only a quick excursion to nearby Knappen. Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Towards Olsnesnipa from Olsneset

Dato:
20.04.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,2km

I was in the mood for a quick "before breakfast" stroll and thus headed to explore the heights north of Olsneset on Osterøy. After only a few meters it got confirmed that this would -- at least at large -- be an off-trail excursion. I still gained elevation relatively quickly, searching my way through the vegetation. Several times, I emerged at places with great views (including panoramic views across Sørfjorden -- nice!). Once up to about 240 masl, I got confronted with slightly more challenging terrain -- continuing "whereever" was no longer an option. After having made it down to the foot of an impressive cliff (in my west), I then followed this cliff upwards "right under it". This brought me to a place, where I could easily cross over to the heights, >>>

Hånipa from Reigstad

Dato:
19.04.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,1km

After taking the ferry from Breistein to Valestrand on Osterøy, we drove a bit further southwards and parked near Reigstad. We then followed the main trail across the northern ridge of Reigstadfjellet southwards to get up to Hånipa. We then continued along the high ridge, high above Sørfjorden, a bit more southwards, before turning left and descending into Reigstaddalen, following the main trail. Due to some major forest works, which had impacted the forest road through Reigstaddalen significantly, we then decided to follow Geitryggen instead of staying in the valley for getting back. About half way down, however, we still connected back with the forest road through Reigstaddalen. Somehow, without fully sinking into all the mud, we still made it back down and back to the car! :-) All >>>

Round around Vinddalsvatnet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,7km

We started in Søfteland, heading for Gamlevegen. Our first goal was to have a look a this old stone bridge (gamle Torve bro), which -- apparently -- once was part of the old Postal route to Stavanger. This bridge seems to be in a pretty bad condition, hold together by some improvised support structure, these days. We then continued further southwards (following, if not mistaken, the former Postal route). After passing by Gåsakilen (on its western side), we left the "main route" to include Galtåsen "on the way". Since we approached it from the North, this ascent was a bit steep at times (but fully doable). From Galtåsen, we then continued in southwestern direction, eventually "ending up" on a nice forest road. But instead of stepping out and onto Byvegen, >>>

Satzberg etc.

Dato:
16.03.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
9,0km

I wished to get some fresh air around my head and thus started a walk without a particular goal in the beginning. At first, I thought that it would be nice to pass by the Otto Wagner church "Am Steinhof" . From there, I continued northwards. But instead of following "the usual tracks" up to Jubiläumswarte , I eventually headed in a more westward direction with the goal to get up to Satzberg. From there, I found a new track (at least for me) down to Hüttelbergstraße. After taking a quick look at the Otto Wagner Villa of Ernst Fuchs -- just from the outside --, I then connected to the cemetary of Hütteldorf, before starting my return leg. Besides the generally nice walk, it also was nice to see the signs of spring (some nice flowers in the forest for example). Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
