Lyderhorn from Loddefjord

Dato:
18.11.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
15,0km

To get some fresh air on this Saturday, we took our eBikes and biked to Loddefjord. In the west of Skarpafjellet, we took a side road up to the transformer station (west of Grøvledalen). From there we followed the trail up to the saddle in the north of Skarpafjellet, following the trail towards Lyderhorn from there. For the ascent to Lyderhorn, we chose the route via Små Lyderhorn, while we then descended along the trail a bit further in the east. Once down from Lyderhorn, again, we basically followed the same trail back to our bikes that we had taken up, first. Always nice to make a trip to Lyderhorn! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Lyderhorn and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet .

Exploring the north of Maria Island

Dato:
09.11.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
38,3km

With one more day "to go", we decided to also include a trip to Maria Island, even though it not really was en route to Hobart. We stayed overnight in Triabunna, just a walking distance from the ferry quay. The next morning, we took the first ferry to Maria Island. Even though we had not booked any bikes in advance, we still hoped that we could get two bikes for the day anyway. Thus, after a mandatory short introduction to Maria Island, right after our arrival, we first headed for the bike rental in Darlington. Luckily, they weren't yet out of bikes, renting two of them out to us. :-) And this indeed was very nice -- Maria Island has quite a bit to offer and if one only has one day, then bridging distances between sights is definitely much more convenient per bike.

Accidental Stemhaugen

Dato:
26.08.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
20,2km

The primary goal of this trip was to just do a bit of shopping! :-) Once on my bike, however, I immediately thought that making a short detour, first, would be good. I thus started along Bjørgeveien and headed northwards towards Bjørndalen. South / southeast of Lyderhorn, I then connected to Liavatnet. As I came towards the northern end of Liavatnet, I thought that this was maybe my chance to include a short visit to Stemhaugen! :-) North of the dam that holds back Liavatnet, I thus left my bike behind and found my way (rather "way") up to Stemhaugen via its northern ridge (no trail, steep, but not difficult). I then crossed over the top of Stemhaugen, enjoying some nice views down to Liavatnet and over to Lyderhorn. On my way down (still in southern direction), I made it >>>

Bike-hiking Skavdalsfjellet (and some additional hills)

Dato:
23.07.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
43,6km

Due to some unfortunate illness, this excursion was without the usual company. The idea was to first ride my eBike to a suitable starting point and then do a hike from there. Also, I thought to make a hike, which we quite likely would not do together (parts of the planned hike were predicted to be more like a bush war than anything else*), ending up at the area in the northeast of Myrdalsvatnet with its smaller (and honestly speaking also not terribly exciting) hills (Kattuglehaugane, Barkahaugane, Kattuglefjellet, and Preståsen). I also thought to visit two small hills in Skjold (Skjoldhøgda and Storåsen), since they were along my route to Myrdalsvatnet (and since I thought that I'd never visit them otherwise anyway). Biking around Søråsen, I made my way to Skjold. Finding a good route >>>

Biking around Hordnesskogen

Dato:
17.06.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
31,8km

With also the other bike repaired, we headed for a new biking-round around Nordåsvatnet. Again, we started our joint ride near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading south (into the direction of Nesttun). This time, we surrounded Kristianborgvannet on the other, eastern side, though. Following the main bike route southwards, we eventually ended up in Rådalen. There, we decided that we would bike around Hordnesskogen in its south. Afte first following Rådalen further south (to the north of the school at Stend), we then turned right and onto Hordesvegen. Near house #202 along Hordnesvegen, we then came to a parking opportunity for those, who wish to start into Hordnesskogen from the south there. There, we headed into Hordnesskogen (in northwestern direction) for a few hundred >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

Dato:
03.06.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
25,0km

We had a bike to pick up and wished to ride a little round -- not at the least to also see that it was functioning as well as expected. We started the joint ride at the bike shop near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading first southwards along Kanalveien and then following the track of the no longer existing railway into the direction of Nesttun. At the church of Skjold, we then turned right and cycled down to Skjoldbukta along Harald Skjolds veg. From there, we then cycled up to Nordåsvegen, which we then followed "all around" Nordåsen. On the south, we then descended to Steinsvikvegen. Following Steinsvikvegen around Steinsviken and Søviken, we connected to Søreide and from there further northwards to Sandeidet. All in all, a nice bike ride! :-) See also the >>>

Double-round to Alvøen

Dato:
28.11.2021
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
28,8km

Even though I had a lot of work to do, still, I could not resist the nice weather and needed to get out, at least a little! Getting onto my eBike, I decided to visit Alvøen (once again) and check out a few of the smaller hills there. To get there, I decided to pass by Tennebekk, first. I thus biked first north in Fyllingsdalen and at Spelhaugen I got onto the gravel road that leads up to Tennebekk. On the other side, I turned south (southwest), again. Passing by Loddefjord, I aimed at Hilleren in the southwest of Haakonsvern. Once past Mathopen, I connected to Skarelien, which brought me up to Hilrafjellet by basically cycling a "full round" around it, first. From Hilrafjellet, I enjoyed some proper views, before I continued to check out Medhaugen next. While I could also >>>

Ørnafjellet (and Lyderhorn) the "wild" way

Dato:
14.11.2021
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
17,6km

After a very nice "standard" hike to Møsnuken the day before, we wished to use the second nice weekend day for another, maybe a bit more "experimental" hike. For some time already, we had asked ourselves, whether it is possible to ascend Ørnafjellet near Lyderhorn "direttissima" from Banuren. This Sunday, we thought to try this idea. We took our eBikes and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After rounding Svartaberget and Bjørndalstjørna, we cycled northwards on the eastside of Lyderhorn, passing by Liavatnet. On the northeastern side of Lianakken, we turned left and onto Banuren, leading us up to the houses of Banuren. Between Søre Banuren and Nordre Banuren, where one major trail from Lyderhorn comes down, we left our bikes behind, starting >>>

Short trip to Lyshovden via Bønes

Dato:
26.09.2021
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
14,7km

To get a bit of fresh air, I decided to pay Lyshovden a short visit. To do so, I took my eBike and first headed towards the south of Bønes (from Varden via Straume). Near Bønes kirke I took the chance to step up to Storahugen, also. From there, I passed over Bønes via Bønesskogen, connecting to C. J. Hambros vei on the other side. Once at Lyshovden, I first visited the southern hill. After completing a short round, I cycled down to the northern part of Lyshovden. Together with a friend, I then payed Nordre Lyshovden a short visit, before walking around it and getting back up to Lyshovden (then from the north). After that, it was basically to cycle home, again. In surprisingly warm autumn weather, it was nice to get some fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Micro-tops south of Fyllingsdalen

Dato:
05.09.2021
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
20,7km

I took the chance to "round up" a few micro-"tops" in the vicinity. This combined eBiking-hiking trip brought me first to Ruskeneshaugen (I do not recommend to follow my track there; all in all, I'm unsure whether there's any good way to get there; and further, it's unclear, why one would get there in the first place), before I continued into the direction of Grimstad (my next goal was to cross over Dolvikfjellet). At Hammarsland, I followed Hammarslandbakken up (basically to where it then also ends) and ascended from there (first into the direction of Dansehaugen in southwestern direction). At about 100mosl, I connected to a trail, which brought me further up to the saddle (with Dolvikfjellet in the east). Crossing over "all the heights" of Dolvikfjellet in >>>
