Ternneset from Kausland

Dato:
21.03.2020
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:
14.03.2020
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:
01.02.2020
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, >>>

Knappen "through the wild" :-)

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
4,6km

On a not really very nice day (kind of wet, ...), we decided to just make a quick round in the neighborhood. After descending from Varden to Bjørgeveien, we started our ascent to Knappen along Sandeidbrotet. At about 35mosl, just before the street makes a sharp left-turn, a useful trail leaves the street in western direction (to the right). Only a few meteres higher, this trail splits into one to the right (useful to get up to Eldtona) and one to the left (into the direction of Knappatjørna). We followed this other trail (in southern direction) for a few meters, but then left the trail and turned right, ascending steeply (without a trail) towards Eldtona. At about 100mosl, we rejoined the trail to Eldtona and soon after we enjoyed the nice views from up there. Yet only a few minutes >>>

Round around Bjørndalsvatnet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
8,2km

Even though the weather was not exactly nice, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air and thus started a our little walk from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen. We first "circled" the school at Varden, before we crossed over the football fields north of Varden. At this point, we decided to visit Hesjaholten, i.e., the hill next to the major buildings that have earned their name from it. We used a little passage between Hesjakollen 42 and 46 to get into Kanadaskogen. From there, it was only a question of a few minutes until we stood at the top of Hesjaholten (with a nice big rock on top!). From there, we then continued in northern direction, "collecting" one hill after another. This way, we rounded Bjørndalsvatnet, heading towards Træshovden on its northern side. >>>

Short round on Bjorøyna

Dato:
31.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,1km

We took the car to the west of Bergen and from Loddefjord along Hillerenveien to get to the undersea tunnel, which connects to Bjorøyna. There, we continued along the "main road" across Bjorøyna (Fv207) until we parked next to the school of Bjorøy. From there, we first ascended to Rundelen across its northern ridge, Bjorøyna's highest hill, right in the east of the school. Once up there -- it's only a few meters above the school --, we continued in southern direction across the north-south going heights. Before eventually turning westwards, we first included a smaller hill in the southeast of the heights of Rundelen. From there, we then descended in western direction (northwest of Stokkhaugen) until we crossed some minor swamp to get over to another hill on the other (western) >>>

Lyshornet from Bahus via Blåheiane

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,5km

For some time, we had discussed a hike via Blåheiane to Lyshornet from Osvegen. After earlier having rejected this idea several times, this day seemed to be right for trying this idea! :-) We took the car to E39, passing by Kalandsvatnet, and parkd near Fortunet/Bahus. We first walked along the street southwards for a short stretch, before then turning right (and upwards) near house 623 on the opposite side of Vedavika. After having walked passed the house and a gravel place on our right, we turned left (and steeply upwards) at about 75mosl in order to shift over to yet another valley (one further to the south). This brought us to another gravel road at about 100mosl, leading southwards along the hillside, with some nice views over Røyknesvatnet in the east (and further into the direction >>>

Permisjonsstien and more

Dato:
25.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,6km

We wished to try the newly upgraded Permisjonsstien, which leads from Sandviken up to Sandviksbatteriet. Accordingly, we took a bus to Sandviken and first stepped up to Fjellveien. More or less exactly, where one passes by the last house (on the left), when walking Fjellveien northwards, Permisjonsstien starts towards Sandviksbatteriet. While the lower stretches of this trail are more muddy than necessary, the upper parts, in particular where the trail gets really steep, have been upgraded recently (during 2019) and well-placed stone steps lead up to Sandviksbatteriet. At about 175mosl, we arrived at Sandviksbatteriet, enjoying some terrific views over Byfjorden and Bergen. Once done with this, we wondered whether to continue directly to Munkebotn, or in-between include a quick ascent >>>
