Liatårnet
- Dato:
- 18.10.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 1:30t
- Distanse:
- 5,8km
Evening walk, almost in the dark, and in the middle of windy clouds (but with less rain than expected!) -- it's always nice to walk up and down Pyttane, especially, if there's limited time! :-)

Hike around Baugtveit with Høgstefjellet
- Dato:
- 12.10.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 3:00t
- Distanse:
- 8,9km
We started from the parking place in Baugtveit (to right, right after driving up the steep road towards Baugtveit) and walked first along Huseberget and up towards Baugtveitgotene, then around Midtfjellet, and up to Høgstefjellet. From the beginning, this was a very wet hike -- and slippery in some places (due to the recent rain). We then continued northwards, via Baugtveitstemma up to Tellevikafjellet. From there, we went down to Salhusskaret and up, again, to Nordgardsfjellet. From there we continued on the path and down to Hitland (lowest point), before we walked to road up, again, to get back to the car. All in all, it was fun to make this hike (several tops and still well doable without being too straining). :-)

Via Gråfjellet towards Sveningen
- Dato:
- 05.10.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 6:30t
- Distanse:
- 18,1km
We parked the car in Løyningdalen, right next to the street into Øvredalen. We then crossed the river (bridge) and continued into Stordalen. Following Stordalen, we passed by Gråfjellet and climbed up to Midtfjellet first. From there, we changed over to Gråfjellet, going a bit back in direction. From Gråfjellet, we then descended to Leina and followed the ridge in direction Baggeskaret. Most of this is without any path and you better have a bit of an adventure-spirit to try this connection. From there we continued along the ridge, first via Selsfjellet and then to Utløfjellet, before we started a quite steep ascent towards Sveningen. Basically, most of this tour was along the border between Os and Samnanger. See the image for the part of the trip which was (too?) steep. Maybe, >>>
Skogsøy in stormy weather

- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 3:00t
- Distanse:
- 5,5km
With the weather being quite stormy, this was an exciting tour to Skogsøy! :-) It's one of the view places, which I know and appreciate, where you get close to the open north sea, here in the vicinity of Bergen -- a place to return to again and again!

Vidden from Langedalen
- Dato:
- 21.09.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 3:30t
- Distanse:
- 10,9km
Starting in Langedalen (between Espeland and Rødland), we first followed the road northwards to Borgo, where we left the road to go up to Borgaskaret. We happened to end up on the path up Kvitnosa, which we followed until we reached Borgavatnet. From there, we connected upwards to Vardegga. Going "back" on Vidden, via Borgaskaret and via Storfjellet, we did not really find the shortest path towards Hauggjelsvarden, but went first to Turnerhytten, from where we turned (again) back towards Hauggjelsvarden (via Byfjellenes høyeste punkt). From Hauggjelsvarden, we descended (without a path) to Langedalen (not really a recommended way of getting back).

Vardafjellet/Orretuva
- Dato:
- 14.09.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 2:30t
- Distanse:
- 8,7km
Quick Sunday afternoon round, including Vardafjellet and Orretuva, starting from Fjellbirkeland, following first a gravel road towards south-east into Tjørnadalen, before turning back upwards (to the north-east) towards Vardafjellet first, then Orretuva. Afterwards, down to Stignavatnet and along it, before back up to the gravel road. All in all, the hike was moderately boring with only short parts (for ex., along Stignavatnet) through quite romantic nature.

Torneberget
- Dato:
- 13.09.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 1:30t
- Distanse:
- 4,4km
While my son played some soccer at Slåtthaug, I made a quick ascent to nearby Torneberget -- it's a not-at-all-prominent peak in front of Smøråsfjellet, towards Bergen, with selected views northwards over Bergen. Descending towards Slåtthaug, without any path through the woods, was a little bit challenging, because descending finally towards the houses of Smøråsflaten proved to be very steep (just a few meters, bust still).
Solbakkafjellet

- 4:00t
- Distanse:
- 12,2km
Easy afternoon hike with some nice views! Starting from Bjøllehaugane, first in direction south-east, before entering the ridge up to Solbakkafjellet, it's easy to find (if you take the right turns -- a few paths lead other ways!). On the top, which is stretched out quite a bit, a few nice views over Bergen and nearby mountains (Sveningen, Hausdalshorgi, Sydpolen, etc.) are possible. Down, we first continued towards Frotveitvatnet, before turning left and back (in parallel, south-east to the "main road" into Bontveit). The last stretch -- from Lonsmoget to Almeland -- we made through a pretty magical forest! :-)

Nice small tour up Raudlifjellet (via Nordhordlandskulten) from Tømmernes -- the path is not easy to find at once, but once one has found it (also not difficult), it's nice and easy to the top(s). Some nice views towards Kalandsvatnet and towards Os.

Traunstein
- Dato:
- 08.08.2014
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 6:00t
- Distanse:
- 14,5km
Starting from Traunsee (~450m, southeast from Gmunden), up the Naturfreundesteig (climbing trail, category A/B), we first reached Traunsteinhaus (1575m, still quite new after a recent upgrading). It took a bit more than 2 hours, but easily this could be more, depending on the climbing conditions -- it's more than 1000m up a substantially steep climbing path! Then, we connected to Gmundner Hütte (1660m), another impressive house on top of this prominent mountain! The actual top, Traunstein (1691m) is then quite near and easy to reach. Down we took the trail towards Mair Alm, which is very steep, but good to go. All in all, including an extended break on Gmundner Hütte, this was about 6+ hours of hiking. Very rewarding!
