Nattlandsfjellet from Landås

Dato:
22.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

In order to (a) make a visit to Nattlandsfjellet and (b) use some fine winter weather, we decided to walk to Nattlandsfjellet from Landås, starting with Sikksakken, i.e., a relatively steep but nice trail up to Landåsfjellet (from Landås). To find the trail-head, one needs to find a minor side-road of Landåslien (leading up to houses 45C and 45D). Once the trail-head is found, stepping up Sikksakken via Kampen is straight-forward, following a nice trail. At about 375mosl, one meets/crosses another trail that leads in north-south direction along the upper western "edge" of Landåsfjellet. Heading further eastwards, we crossed Ormhaugen and ended up at a major trail that extends north-to-south at the western side of Nubbevatnet. A little further south of Nubbevatnet, we connected >>>

Fanafjellet from Rød

Dato:
07.09.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,8km

We had a bit of time and thinking, that even a small hike nearby could be nice, we headed for Fana and Fanafjellet (south of Bergen). At Fana, we then turned right and followed road #546 (in the direction to Krokeide, where the ferry to Austevoll leaves). The plan was to start from Rød and to find a trail up to Fanafjellet that four years earlier was the end of another hike near Krokeide . We thus parked near Rødshella and walked towards the place, where we assumed that the trail would come down. Passing by house #424 instead of house #422, we missed this trail-head by a few meters. Following some minor path through the forest, then, and following the rather step mountain-side there in southern direction, we ended up in the west of Rødsaksla instead. At about 80mosl, we first enjoyed a nice view over Fanafjorden, >>>

Drangsfjellet with Høgelikampen

Dato:
31.08.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

We left Bergen towards the south, passing by Fana and driving over Fanafjellet (road #5158). Near Sørstraumen, where road #5156 leaves to the left (in eastern direction), leading to Lyseklosteret before continuing towards Ulven, we turned right, following along the coast of Seiasundet. South of Søvik, where the road leads away from the sea, we then took a sharp turn to the right (towards Drange). Before getting to Drange (and just before getting to Langavatnet), we parked the car right next to the road. Instead of starting our hike into the forest from there, however, we first followed the road a bit further (to Indre Drange, actually). There, we found a good place to leave the road and start our first ascent (up to Fjærhovda). While it was not difficult to find our way up there, one >>>

Brøknipa from Båtaleitet parking

Dato:
19.07.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,3km

We started from Båtaleitet parking, quite a bit above Bruvik on Osterøy (to the right, right after crossing the bridge). Following the easy-to-find trail, we soon arrived at the top of Brøknipa (Bruviknipa), enjoying some very nice views over Sørfjorden from up there (it's always wonderful to stand on top of Brøknipa -- very much recommended!). After spending a bit of time on the top, we then returned back down on the same trail that we had taken up. A nice (not too long) hike with great views! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a a useful page about Brøknipa ; and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Brøknipa (he writes "In my personal opinion, Brøknipa is one of Hordaland's finest mountains").

Hjortåsen on Strøno

Dato:
07.07.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,4km

We took the car to the south of Bergen, driving then road 160 from Ulven to Strøno. After crossing the narrow bridge to Strøno and driving up just a little to the T-junction, where the streets to Nordstrøno/Sørstrøno split, we turned right (towards Nordstrøno). Only a couple of meters before getting close to the first houses on the north-side of the island, we stopped next to the road and started hiking, following a simple forest road that starts from the street there in southwestern direction. At about 80mosl, where the forest road ends, we then continued on a well-visible path (further up in southern direction). At about 140mosl, we spotted Såta nearby (in northeastern direction) and thought that we may have a nice view from up there. It took only a few minutes to get over (no >>>

Gulltjørna via Trengereidhotten from Risnes

Dato:
29.06.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:45t
Distanse:
8,3km

We left Bergen in eastern direction on E16 (into the direction of Voss), leaving the main road just before Romslo, changing to the old road that brings one through Romslo to Risnes. We found a suitable place to park in Risnes and started our hike from there. Our first goal was Krånuken, to get up onto the heights north of Gullfjellet. For years, already, I had looked at this idea of ascending Trengereidhotten from the north, but hesitated (now I know that this was for good reasons!). This time, we finally decided to give it an attempt. We chose Sverinden, leading up to Krånuken, as the line and started from the street, where it passes under a short tunnel at the northern end of Sverinden. Immediately, our expectations were confirmed: the ascent over the ridge of Sverinden is very steep, >>>

Skorseteggi and Kolingseggi

Dato:
15.06.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,7km

We used the advantage of having two cars this time and parked one of them near Liaset, north of Lemme and east of Lønavatnet (all near Voss). Note that you have to pay a small fee for driving the last stretch up to Liaset (NOK 20, I think), so having some coins ready may help. We then drove back to the northern side of this mountain ridge and parked near Øyjordi (near Oppheimsvatnet), where a nicely marked trail starts (back to Lemme). Following this easy-to-find trail, we ascended swiftly to Øyjordsstølen, first, and from there then further into the direction of Skorseteggi, passing by Øyjordtjørni (and Flatafjellet behind it) on our way up. Enjoying a perfect hiking day with lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures, we spent some bonus time on the top of Skorseteggi -- simply >>>

Lyngbønipa from Lyngbø (and back via Skitnetjørna)

Dato:
26.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:15t
Distanse:
3,7km

We took the car to Lyngbø, driving up Nipedalen a little and then parking near Nipedalen 37. From there, we first walked for a few meters along a side road (to the northeast), also called Nipedalen. Right before house 74, a narrow opening is found (in southeastern direction), which leads to the trail head on the other side of the houses. Once there, it's bascially up (in southern direction) through a small, steep valley that leads up to Nipetjørna. It's about 200hm up to the lake. In order to get to Lyngbønipa, one turns right at the lake, finding another (small) trail (again to the right, now in northern direction) very soon after. This trail then leads to Lyngbønipa (with nice views!). To get back down, we took another trail that leads down from Lyngbønipa on its southern side >>>

14,9km

Nice to have guests, who wish to go hiking in the mountains near Bergen! :-) The original plan was to do this on Saturday, but since the weather forecast was much better on Friday afternoon, we arranged for this timeplan instead. We left Bergen with the car into the direction of Os (on E39). After coming by Kalandsvatnet, we turned left at about Kalandseidet to enter the relatively narrow road into Hausdalen. Driving Hausdalen all the way in, we arrived at the parking place near the beginning of Brekkedalen (at the very end of the road through Hausdalen). From there, we first walked along the gravel road into Brekkedalen (in eastern direction). We came by Sandane (a nice spot in Brekkedalen!) and also took the bridge over Tverrelva, coming down from the left/north, still continuing through >>>

Grånipa and Gløvreegga from Vaksdal

Dato:
19.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
14,4km

We took the car from Bergen and along E16 into the direction of Voss. At Vaksdal, we left the main road and parked only a few meters away near Vaksdal Senter. From there, we first followed the road a little further down until we crossed over the bridge to the northern part of Vaksdal. There, we followed the roads up to Flordalen. Near the house with address Flordalen 64, a sign marks the start of the trail up to Javnastølen. This trail is well visible all the way up and nice to follow (steep though). Near Lyhornet, one reaches the tree line and nice views over Sørfjorden open up (you need to turn around!). Above Lyhornet, we then followed the high ridge further towards Javnasåta (in northeastern direction). Particularly on this ridge, the views are really very nice! :-) From Javnasåta, >>>
