Gravdalsfjellet from Betanien

Dato:
18.05.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,7km

To get some fresh air, we decided to make a short hike up Gravdalsfjellet. We started at Betanien near Vestlund in Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, and head first northwards before then turning left (westwards) into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet. Right after passing by Brattheim, we took the stairs up into the direction of Viggohytten. As soon as we came out on top, however, we made a short detour to visit Kjerringen på Nipen, from where one can enjoy excellent views over Fyllingsdalen. We then headed back to the trail and up to Viggohytten before we continued further upwards to visit near Gravdalsfjellet. From there, we took another trail down (in the west of Gravdalsfjellet. After this short detour, we connected back with the trail that we had taken up near Brattheim. From there, it was >>>

Hamrefjellet

Dato:
09.05.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

Between two visits of shops, we wished to get some fresh air. Since we were close already, we decided to go a quick round around Hamrefjellet. Since we wished to start with Tornetfjellet, we drove into the direction of Smørås (just to find out that parking is non-trivial there -- clearly, those who live there do not like hikers to park up there). We thus parked quite a bit longer down along Smøråsvegen and walked back up from there. We then ascended Torneberget from Smøråsvegen (only a few meters up), before continuing along a nice trail that stretches over the heights into southern direction (towards Hamrefjellet). Passing by Myrasmettet, we ascended Vardane (also only a few meters up). We next thought to take a look at Vallastølen. Instead of walking "down" to Militærvegen, >>>

Wild Golta

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,1km

The weather forecast was "interesting": 3 or 4 degrees Celsius and strong winds from the north (with gale warnings nearby). Sounds like a nice day for another trip to the outer islands! :-) This time, we chose Golta (south of Telavåg and west of Glesvær), which is wild and nice! We parked at the parking lot near the inner end of Vogga and started our short hike from there. The route is trivial to find and also not very long. Within a few minutes one gets out to the wild rocks near the North Atlantic. And clearly we weren't disappointed (again): very impressive, when the wind works the sea so hard! We walked for a longer while around the rocks and enjoyed the atmosphere, rounding Lutavika and then also Midtvika, before heading back. Even though a shorter trip, it's definitely >>>

Short round over Gullsteinen

Dato:
04.04.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,9km

With a little bit of time left, we decided to make a short detour across Gullsteinen. We parked along Nils Langhelles vei and walked up one of its steep side roads first. Near house #22, we had come to the end of this side road. Fortunately, it was possible to ascend up towards the next side road. From there, where this other side road makes a sharp turn to the south, it was then only a few meters, before a trail leaves to the left. Stepping up through the forest there, we first ascended a micro-hill south of Strutsefarmen. From there, we turned back to the trail, which leads up to the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken. Instead of following the trail, however, we decided to step up "through the wild" (and in the not all-too-deep snow). Lovely, to get out into some >>>

Sælskletten and Sælsfjellet on Tofterøy

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

Another Saturday with a promise of cold but nice weather invited us to plan another hike near the North Atlantic, making this the third in a row, after our nice hike to Brotavarden from Telavåg and our excursion to Ternneset from Kausland . This time, our goal was to hike a little round on Tofterøy, far in the southwest of Sotra. After following road 555 southwards, we turned right (onto road 200 towards Tofterøy) and passed over the narrow bridge (Tofterøybrua), after first havig waited for two horses to finish their (partially stressed) passage over the bridge. :-) On Tofterøy, we then followed the road until we came close to Trælevika. There, just north of Storavatnet, we parked and started our hike. The first goal of our hike was Sælskletten in the southeast of where we had parked. In order to find the needed trailhead, we had to walk back along >>>

Ternneset from Kausland

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:15t
Distanse:
11,8km

Once again, we aimed at using a nice weekend day for getting some fresh air. Since we will had fond memories of our recent hike to Brotavarden from Telavåg , we decided to once again aim for the outer islands. This time, we planned for a hike from Kausland, just a bit north of Glesvær. The idea was to connect to Goltasundet (from the east) and then hike out towards the North Altantic along it's northern shore. On Sotra, we headed towards Glesvær. Near Kausland, we then left Glesnesvegen to the right (west), before parking only a few hundreds of meters down this little side road. From there, we followed a very clear trail (more like a gravel road in the beginning), leading us westwards. Soon after, we approached Goltatjørna from its north. We first tried to round it on a "tight route", but soon understood >>>

Brotavarden from Telavåg

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
11,8km

We really needed some fresh air (these times, you know) and since we were not really prepared for lots of snow and so, we decided to give the outer islands another try. After some consideration, Brotavarden was chosen as the hiking goal (with a start-point near Telavåg). We parked a few hundreds of meters before coming to Telavåg, near some soccer fields in the southeast of Telavåg. Just on the other side, we located the trail head and headed at once for our first intermediate goal, Nipa (in the east of Telavåg). Even though it's only a few meters up to the "top" of this cliff, one still has some nice views from there! Since winds were strong and temperatures were rather low, we did not stay there for any longer time, but continued (into the direction Brotavarden) immediately. >>>

Lyderhorn

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,7km

We needed some fresh air and since time was limited, we chose a nearby goal: Lyderhorn! We parked near Kjøkkelvik school and followed the main trail upwards from there (along a minor ridge which lead into southeastern direction, towards Små-Lyderhorn. From this intermediate point, it's then straight upwards (in northern direction up the steep side of Lyderhorn). Due to low temperatures (and limited time), we continued more or less directly across the top of Lyderhorn, aiming at the other, minor path down to where we started. As already once (at least) before, we missed, however, the point, where this minor path deviates from the main trail (towards north from Lyderhorn) -- the matter of fact that "everything" was covered by snow did not help to see, where this trail left.

Micro"tops" in Fyllingsdalen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,5km

Despite the wet weather, we still wished to get some fresh air. Instead of anything "more major", we simply started with visiting the highest point of Varden! :-) Inspired by having reached an insignificant "top", we decided to continue along a similar idea. Looking over across Sælen, we identified an unnamed "top" near Myrholtet and soon later we had arrived there (being very surprised about our trip goals!). Having had not enough of these understatement of "hiking", we headed further northwards and "up" to some minor heights in the west of Spelhaugen. There, we eventually came close to Langaheia, but decided to cut it short, after all. From there, it was then basically back home (with a short visit to the shop in-between). Clearly, >>>

Exploring Eidsvågsneset

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,3km

We took bus #4 to Sandviken (the last stop before the bus drives through the tunnel to Eidsvåg, i.e., Handelshøyskolen) and started to first walk along Helleveien towards the northern end of Eidsvågsneset. Near Hellen school, we made a little excursion onto a small hill top and could see Byfjorden from there. We then continued along Helleveien, before we turned half-right in order to take a pedestrian "road", which leads diagonally upwards towards Hellen festning (one leaves Helleveien shortly before getting to Eikevikstjernet). At Hellen festning, we explored what remains from the fortifications and also enjoyed some good views over Byfjorden. Originally, we had thought that we would continue from there towards Eidsvågsfjellet via Furekammen, but once at Hellen festning, >>>
