We took road #555 towards the west of Bergen, crossing Sotrabroen and the tunnel near Kolltveit. Turning left, right afterwards, we continued on road #555 towards Fjell, where we turned right, taking road #559 further westwards. At Ulveset, very near to the school there, we parked and started to hike.
We first followed a small road called Trippevegen in northeastern direction, up to a relatively sharp turn. There, we found the path, which leads further north (instead of following the road, which extends towards the west). We followed this path to a point, which is marked with "Litlestengelen". From there we continued without a path in northeastern direction, heading towards Gardajellet (a bit north of Kvernavatnet). Hiking was all easy (mostly because the ground was conveniently >>>
Svartaberget in nice winter sun

We started in Varden and used Bregnestien to get close to Gjeddevatnet as soon as possible.
Once had descended to Gjeddevatnet (basically to the place, where occasionally some bath in warmer months), we continued along the water (in northward direction). We kept going along the water, passing by Skogadotten and Skaget until we reached Gjerdsvika. Before going further to Bjørndalsvatnet (over the heights southwest of Hesjaholtet), we first made a short visit to Fureneset (very nice in the winter sun!). We then crossed over the heights west of Hesjaholtet in order to connect to Bjørndalsvatnet. We came back down to the water basically directly west of the northern most block of Hesjaholtet and managed to continue along the water (even though there is a very steep cliff to its eastern side). >>>
Løvstakken via Nova

We parked the car at the parking place right above Litlavatnet (along Krohnegården street in upper Fyllingsdalen) and had the plan to try out a new route up Løvstakken. And so we did! :-) We started along the usual path, which leads firmly upwards (in northeastern direction towards the saddle between Ravnefellet and Løvstakken). After having past the little waterfall on our right, we found the right spot, where a less used path leaves to the right. We followed this minor path, which makes a comparably large half-circle around the waterfall (and above it), turning into a southward direction. Right above the waterfall, one needs to expect wet terrain; so good shoes are helpful, when choosing this alternative. From there, we then continued to ascend (following the kind of diagonally oriented >>>

We left home in slight rain and no indication that the weather should clear up any time soon, driving via Midtun to the street, which leads up to Totland (road #183). We passed by Myrdalsvatnet and continued further upwards. Before we came to Fjellbirkeland, we parked right next to the road (at about 5.401°E/60.305°N).
From there, we took a forest road, which leads steadily upwards (in southwestern direction). Soon the light rain turned into light snowfall (a bit nicer, after all). Once we came up and the terrain became comparably flat, we left the forest road and entered the forest in order to find a connection to the "top" of Ljosvollsvarden.
We started (in the thick forest!) in southwestern direction, before we reached the end of the forest. There, we turned right (now in >>>
Storm-beaten Lyderhorn interruptus

We parked near Kjøkkelvik school on the western side of Lyderhorn and started to go from there (along Lyderhornslien). Once in Olderdalen, we started to ascend along the well-used path (upwards in southeastern direction).
Near Små-Lyderhorn, at about 275mosl, we started to feel the strong winds, which also were announced all along the southwestern coast of Norway. Only minutes later, we concluded that the winds were too strong for continuing further up along the outer (southern) side of Lyderhorn. Instead, we decided to turn around, descend into Olderdalen (instead of taking the same path back, which we had taken up), and make an attempt to connect to this other path between Lyderhornslien and Lyderhorn (a bit further north).
In principle, everything went as intended, but it must be noted >>>

We parked at the small parking place right above Litlavanet (along road Krohnegården). We then stepped upwards in northeastern direction (towards Ravnefjellet) and came to the small saddle between Ravnefjellet and Løvstakken soon. From there, we turned "back" towards Løvstakken (mostly in southern direction, then). Soon later, we came to the top of Løvstakken. We returned basically along the same route. Almost all the way back, a little excursion (to the upper parts of the little waterfall down there "in the western corner of Løvstakken") was added---mostly to get an idea, whether one could ascend to Løvstakken also from there "diritissima" (it seems so---to be explored!).

We drove west from Bergen to Sotra and then further to Fjell, where we took the road 559 into the direction of Møvik. At the upper (eastern) end of Møvik, we parked near a supermarket on the northern side of the road (where a small road called Signalvegen leaves towards the right (north).
From there, all this short hike is pretty straight-forward: First, we followed Signalvegen upwards until we came to Signalvatnet (not quite as full as it seemingly seems to be at other times!). We followed the gravel road further until we came to the dam at the western end of Signalvatnet.
There we crossed over, using some wooden stairs that invite to step up to the hillside conveniently. Then, it's just a few steps until one reaches the upper parts of the western end of the Signal-hill. At the "top", >>>
Knappen in December

We started at Varden, walking down Marineveien and further on Bjørgeveien, where we turned left into Sandeidbrotet shortly after, leading steeply upwards (towards Knappatjørna). At "the top", where the street makes a sharp turn to the left, a hiking path leaves to the right (only a few meters above another side-road, which only connects to a private place instead). Following the hiking path (into northwestern direction) brings one nearby Røstafjellet, i.e., another residential area (north of Knappen and slightly elevated above Bjørgeveien). Before actually entering this area, another hiking path leaves to the left and upwards, first in western direction, but then, following the ridge, turning more and more into southern direction. Once on the ridge, the path follows the heights >>>

I followed E39 southwards, passing by Os, and heading into the direction of Halhjem, where the ferry leaves towards Vågen on Stord. Right before the ferry port, I turned left (in eastern direction), following Bjørnavegen. I then turned right (in southern direction), continuing on Halhjemsmarka, passing by a little soccer field near Halhjem school. I followed the road until point N60.1402, E5.4393, where I parked. I went a few meters in eastern direction to step out of the houses and into the forrest, which covers all of Sørneset. There, it was basically just following a gradient-search path towards the (small) top of Bjørnaåsen. I crossed over the top until I got at least a limited view towards the south and out onto the sea (through the trees, though), before I returned. I stepped >>>

I took E39 southwards from Bergen, driving towards Os. Before coming to Ulven, near Os, I passed by Skogavika (a part of Hetleflotvatnet), lying right next to the road on the eastside. At about N60.2144, E5.4432, I left E39, turning to the right (westwards). Only few meters up this small road, I parked and started walking. I first followed a small, paved road in southern direction (in parallel to E39), which soon turned upwards and westwards (away from E39). Turning left, again, I ended up on a simple gravel road that didn't really seem to lead very far. Instead, I left this road, crossed a few meters of grass and some water, finding an old and overgrown forrest road, leading upwards (steeply) and, first, in southwestern direction (towards Skogafjellet), before soon chaning into a southern >>>
