Biking Askøy with Dyrdalsfjellet

Dato:
15.05.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
38,2km

After work, we still wished to get out and thus decided to make a bike-trip to Askøy. After following the main bike-route to Askøy, which follows first Kjøkkelvikveien, north of Loddefjord, before then continuing along Sundby Hvorups vei to connect to the large bridge, we then cycled up Stongafjellsvegen to get up to the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. In fact, it was possible to bike almost all the way up and we "only" had a few height meters left to walk, after leaving our bikes behind on the saddle in the south of Dyrdalsfjellet. After first enjoying the views from Dyrdalsfjellet, we then included also Varden at Øvre Kleppe for some more nice views. Once back to the bikes, we decided that we could make a round via Erdalen before heading back. We therefore continued to bike in >>>

To Alvøen and back

Dato:
14.05.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
26,2km

We thought that it would be interesting to have another look at the progress of the construction of the new bridge to Sotra. We thus took our bikes and headed into the direction of Alvøen. At Hetlevikstraumen, we used the small bridge to get over to the western side of Mathopsvågen. At Mathopen, we then took a turn to the right in order to connect to Småvatnet a bit further north. Biking along Småvatnet, we then connected to Hakonshellaveien. From there, we then descended to the old main building of Alvøen. On the other side of Alvøen, the continuation was then along Pålaveien and Ramsvikveien further northwards. At Janaveien, the new bridge came into view, first, and from Janahaugen one could enjoy a nice close-up view. Also from the other side, at Drotningsvikveien, looking >>>

Bike-hiking Fanafjellet

Dato:
03.05.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
42,3km

We decided to combine biking and hiking, heading to Fanafjellet with our bikes. Leaving our bikes behind at Fanasæter, we then hiked the one round on Fanafjellet, which includes Høgeåsen and Lyseskarfjellet (Linken), returning via Ramberget to Fanasæter. On our way back, we then included a short detour via Fanahammeren, before then cycling around Hordnesskogen. From Grimseidvegen, we then crossed through Skageskogen to get to Øvre Birkeland. From there, it was then along Ytrebygdsvegen back. Nice to comine biking and hiking on such a nice day! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

A nice day in Wien

We used this nice day to first bike to Karlsplatz, where we visited Albertina Modern and the KAWS exhibition there. Thereafter, we crossed through the first district of Vienna, also enjoying the world's best icecream at Tuchlauben, before then biking along Donaukanal to get back. Very nice! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Biking from Smolenice to Marchegg

Dato:
29.04.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
3:45t
Distanse:
69,6km

After lunch, I made myself ready for another bike-trip: this time in the northwest of the Carpartian mountains back to Austria. For the third time in three days, I headed first westwards (and into the Carpartian mountains), following the forest road south of Havranica and Záruby. While this forest road is really nice near Smolenica castle, it gets a bit more rough a bit further west (and higher up in the mountains). Still, it was straight-forward to traverse it, even with all the luggage. The descent on the other side, to Plavecký Mikuláš, was partly quite steep, but cycling down there was still possible without real difficulties. I then cycled along road 501 which brought me through Sološnica and Rohožník to Pernek. Further down the same road, I then arrived in Lozorno. South >>>

Biking from Bratislava to Smolenice

Dato:
26.04.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
76,7km

After first biking through Vienna , I then took the boat (TwinCityLiner) from Vienna to Bratislava. From there, I had planned to bike to Smolenice in the northeast of Bratislava, following the southeastern feet of the Carpartian mountains. After arriving between the SNP bridge and Starý (old) bridge, I first had to find my way through Bratislava. Relatively soon, I found myself on Špitálska, before then continuing on Krížna and Vajnorská towards the northeast. Since it was Sunday in the morning, the traffic was limited and biking along these major roads was just fine. I then took a turn left onto Jarošova, before soon turning right, again (onto Racianska). Following Racianska, which is one of the main roads out of Bratislava towards the north, I quickly made the necessary kilometers to get out of Bratislava. >>>

Dato:

Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
29,1km

Just a nice bike-ride to/from Arboretet in Milde. On our way back, we decided to take a slightly different route, following Grimseidvegen, towards the northeast, before finding a connection towards Skage through Skageskogen passing by Kolhushaugen. From Skage, we then continued along Håvardstunvatnet and Skranevatnet. Via Søvik, we eventually made it back onto usual tracks. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Dato:
06.04.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
32,6km

Just a nice bike trip around Nordåsvatnet (with a bit of exploration near Skjoldabukta). In the southwest of Nordåsvatnet, we followed a "side-line", which brought us to Skranevatnet and Håvardstunvatnet, before passing also by Skeievatnet (then in the south of Nordåsvatnet). After thereafter cycling around Apeltunvatnet, we arrived at Skjold, where we left the bikes behind for a short walk to Skiparvika and Skjoldabukta. On our way back, we traversed Nybøvegen before reconnecting with more usual paths. Just near Hopsbukta, we also included a short detour along Nordahl Griegs vei, before then following the standard route back. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
