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:
30.03.2025
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:

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 .

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 .

From Lyngholm to Ryvarden

Dato:
16.11.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,7km

We left one car at the parking lot for Ryvarden in Mølstrevåg, while driving with the other one to Lyngholm a bit further north. There, we found a place, where we could leave the car for 20 NOK. There, we started our hike, following the well-marked North Sea Trail (Nordsjøløypa). Right in the beginning, the weather was a bit rough (strong wind, a bit of rain) -- a bit later, though, it improved and approaching Landsåt, we even got to imagine the sun for some moments! :-) The rather wild weather, however, made walking this trail an interesting experience. Especially the hail showers, which hit us with quite some force due to the strong wind, made sure that we experienced a special kind of presence. :-) Even though the first roughly three kilometers not really are right at the sea, >>>

Morning round on Ryvardsneset

Dato:
16.11.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,9km

We were staying in one of Flokehyttene on Ryvardsneset and given the rather strong winds the circumstances for easily sleeping into the Saturday were not ideal anyway -- instead, it was much better to get out into the wind and make an attempt to use a rain-free period for a stroll around Ryvardsneset. First, we took the few steps out to the light house at Ryvarden. With all the rather strong winds, it was clearly an impressive experience (and walking down to Huldrahola was by no means a viable option). Next, we visited the commemoration monument for the Sleipner tragedy a bit north of Ryvarden in 1999. Even though breakfast was tempting a real lot, already, there still seemed to be a good opportunity for including a short trail along the southern coast of Ryvardsneset. This trail, when >>>

Exploring (parts of) Lysøya

Dato:
28.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
4,2km

Even though we knew that Ole Bulls villa would be closed, we still thought that making an excursion to Lysøya could be nice. The ferry took us over to Lysøya from Buena and we started our walk with taking a look at Ole Bulls villa (from the outside, only). From there, we then continued southwards (and upwards) to take a look at a small vista-point ("Udsigten"), before then continuing northwards (and via the heights of Lysøya). This then brought us to the little watch tower ("Tårnet") from which one indeed can enjoy some nice views (over the tree-tops). Thereafter, we walked further northwards in order to take a look at Furulunden (also the highest point on Lysøya). Next on our "ToDo list" was Lysøygrotta, just a little underneath Furulunden (in its west). >>>
