Tverrfjellet

Dato:
21.08.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,9km

With just a little bit of time available, we simply headed for a short exploration of the forest north of Nordvik (south of Fanafjellet). After driving over Fanafjellet from Bergen, we parked along road 5158 just northeast of Nordvik. From there, we proceeded right into the forest (in western direction), coming by Klubnehaugen in its north only a short while later, before entering the valley of Moldstigen north of Nordvik. Instead of following the main trail up this valley, we ascended into the direction of Tverrfjellet, leaving the valley in western direction. After a bit of an ascent through the forest, we arrived first at a smaller side-top of Tverrfjellet in its southeast. Even though we already had some nice views from there (between the trees), we still made it across a little wet >>>

Urdanipa

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
1,8km

After our longer hike on Ytre Sula , we still had some appetite and thus decided to pay the north of Sula a short evening visit. Driving eastwards on road 606, passing by Hardbakke along the way, we surrounded Pollatinden and then Hagefjorden (both in their south), before coming close to Ulvegreina. North of that mountain, we then left road 606, turning left (into northern direction, towards Hersvikbygda and Leknessundet). While briefly considering to make a quick hike up to Husefjellet (in the southeast of Hersvikbygda), we then decided to "just" do Urdanipa (south of Leknessundet). The road towards Leknessundet gets actually quite near to Urdanipa, passing over a small saddle in the west of this little top. Finding a suitable place for parking the car, however, is not 100% easy as the road is very >>>

Exploring Knappen near Kallestad

Dato:
04.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
6,7km

The plan was to use a nice, warm summer day and hike into the north of Kallestad. We parked next to Grendahuset in Kallestad and first walked the street back northwards until we came to Sjoartjørna. Where Kallestadvikvegen turns around this little lake (in its west), a trail heads off in northwestern direction. After only a few meters, already, one has the choice between going directly to Storhaugen, or ascending to Austre Storhaugen, first. We did the latter, heading up to Austre Storhaugen, first, enjoying some nice views, including one back down to Sjoartjørna. From Austre Storhaugen, one can then connect to Storhaugen via a steep descent, first, and then joining the trail that comes around Austre Storhaugen in its south. From Vestre Storhaugen, just a few meters in the west of Storhaugen, >>>

Kongevegen and Kvinnestigen

Dato:
13.06.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,8km

Given another rather wet day and limited time, we decided to do another "low lands" walk, exploring some local history. This lead to starting in Oppheim and following the historic Kongevegen down to Vinje (kind of "parallel" to E16 lower down in Vinjadalen, after first "short-cutting" Høgåsen on its northern side). Once arrived in Øvre Vinjo, a little above Vinje, we decided to connect "on a higher level" to Kvinnestigen. Once we arrived there (at about 400mosl), we turned right (in northeastern direction) and started the relatively steep ascent along Kvinnestigen (on a good trail!). Once above approximately 500mosl, the trail flattens out a little, and soon later we came to another trail-crossing, where we turned right, again, in order to follow >>>

Around Brandsetstølen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,9km

Given a significant, not very high cloud cover and intermittent precipitation, we decided to go for a not too long walk, not too high up the mountain side. This still lead to a nice little round near Brandset! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Round around Lerøyna

Dato:
05.06.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
6,4km

We thought to explore one of the nearby islands and chose Lerøyna, between Hjellestad and Klokkarvik. Leaving the car in Hjellestad, we took the ferry to Lerøyna, landing on the very western side. Aiming at one round around the island, we started in southeastern direction. Within about 100m from the ferry stop, we came to the place, where during WWII a POW camp was (in Greftvikdalen). Walking through one of the tunnels from that camp (most of them have been closed off by now), we came to a place, right next to Lerøyosen, which is eerily idyllic, given the grim past of this place. From there, we stepped through the green into southeastern direction, passing by a larger number of relatively new houses at the sea in their north. Continuing again through a bit of green (a little further >>>

Round around Jordavatnet

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,0km

The later afternoon seemed to be OK for a short walk and so we drove into the direction of Fana. Before the street starts to lead up to Fanafjellet, we turned left near the church of Fana and continued into the direction of Kalandsvatnet. Once there, and instead of following the "main road" in the northwest of Kalandsvatnet, we followed the very narrow road in the southwest of Kalandsvatnet into the direction of Kismul. At Ytre Sandvika, we parked right next to the road and started our walk from there. We first walked a little bit "back" (in northern direction), following a side road that is a bit higher up than Kismulvegen. Near house #141, this road splits again and we continued along the upper part. Maybe only 100m further along this stretch, we turned left (onto >>>

Nice evening walk around Småvatnet

Dato:
20.05.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,8km

With still some nice light to go, we decided to use the evening for a quick excursion into our (extended) neighborhood. After driving a bit towards the west of Bergen, we left the main road before getting all the way to Sotrabroen and continued along Alvøveien until we came close to Småvatnet. After parking near the north end of Småvatnet, we started our hike around this lake in clockwise direction. We first followed a minor forest road in northeastern direction, which eventually would have brought us to the soccer fields in the north of Småvatnet. Before getting close to them, however, we turned right (and in southern direction), ascending to the little cliff that extends towards the south from the soccer fields. Once up there, we then continued along minor trails to stay close to >>>

Evening walk to Mindebakken

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,0km

To get a bit of fresh air after another day of home office, we drove to the parking at Øvre Kråkenes at the southern end of Løvstien and started from there. Before continuing into the direction of Løvstien, we first made a quick detour to what possibly is called Casperkollen, on the southern side of the parking place. After quickly walking up and down this little height, we crossed over the road and continued "in parallel" to Løvstien. After crossing over Lerkhaugen, we crossed Løvstien and made a quick ascent to Lisahaugen, also. On the other, northeastern side of Lisahaugen, we followed the ridge east of Løvstien upwards until we crossed Løvstien once again to get closer to Mindebakken at Litla Langafjellet. There, we then followed a trail that for the first 40 height >>>

Steinafjellet and Skjerhaugen

Dato:
16.05.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,0km

Being already very close, I decided to make a quick excursion to Steinafjellet and the coastal area there. After parking next to the school in Landro, my first "challenge" was to get behind the used areas (towards the open landscape with Steinafjellet). I found a way to pass by a farm there, but would have found it even better with a trail head to use. Once behind the farm area, proceeding to Steinafjellet was quick and easy. Once there, I decided to walk a little further (towards the coast) and started to do so in northwestern direction from Steinafjellet. This brought me within a few minutes to a little height, just in the south of Sørdalen. In order to get even closer to the sea, I then descended into Sørdalen, choosing a place which was a little steeper than what was just >>>
