It looked like a promising Saturday and I wished to do another bike-hiking excursion to see a few places that I had not seen so far. I started by cycling via Straume to Søreide and then further into the direction of Lagunen. After cycling around Apeltunvatnet in its south, I connected to Tranevatnet and from there, after passing under E39, along Birkelandsvatnet to Dyngelandsvegen. This road brought me then to Helldal, where I eventually joined Hardangervegen to pass by Grimevatnet and then Søylevatnet. Cycling along this rather much used (and rather narrow) road is not exactly fun for the cyclist and one should only do it, when prepared for a bit of stress. Leaving Hardangervegen, I then continued along Unnelandsvegen, south of Haukelandsvatnet. At Storeklubben, I made my first short >>>

Gjønakvitingen from Gjøn (via Selfjellet)

Dato:
17.08.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
8:00t
Distanse:
13,5km

The weather was promising and so we thought this would be a good day to hike up to Gjønakvitingen from Gjøn. From Bergen, we drove towards the East, first along E16, then road #49, before taking road #48 to Eikelandsosen. From there, it was not too far, continuing into eastern direction, before we changed to a narrow road at Holdhus. This way, we drove around the south end of Gjønavatnet in order to get to Gjønavegen, which brought us to Gjøn. At about noon-time, we then started our hike (with enough time on such a nice, long summer Sunday). The one, small "twist", which we had cooked up, when studying the map at home, was to include Selfjellet (via an ascent on the western side of Skarvaelva), before eventually taking the "main trail" down (south of Sauaskorfjellet). >>>

On this partially wet Sunday, the plan was to make something not too long and not too far away. Since I had not visited Smørkisfjellet before, I "cooked up" a round, starting from Osvegen near Kalandseidet. I somehow thought that I could try an ascent to Blåurskampen from the west (even though I had seen during my map study at home that this side of this hill is very steep with quite some cliffs, actually). I started from right underneath Blåurskampen and already down at Osvegen I wondered whether this really was such a good idea (it was not). I still entered the terrain and quickly found out: (a) it was wet from all the rain, (b) there was a lot of vegetation, and (c) it is truly steep -- at times way too steep there. I still continued (why?), making height meters relatively >>>

Byrkjefjellet, Iendefjellet, and Skeisheia

We expected "one last nice day before the rain" and thus aimed at one more nice hike! :-) Without much hesitation, we agreed to make a hike to Iendefjellet, north of Kvamskogen. We took the car from Bergen to Kvamskogen and parked at the southern end of Tryglakleiv, right next to the "main road" across Kvamskogen (road #49). We then started to hike up road Tryglakleiv, aiming at the heights in the southwest of Tryglakleivtjørnane. All of this is easy to find and from "up there" (a bit below 600 masl), the real ascent towards Byrkjefjellet starts (then mostly in northern direction). Following a proper trail, we completed the (partially steep) ascent relatively quickly. It was, however, very hot and we recognized and respected the roughly 600 height meters >>>

Livarden from Haukelandsvatnet

Distanse:
7,9km

We wished to use (part of) the nice Sunday for a nice hike and chose Livarden, not far from Bergen. Instead of the usual hike (from Totland), we decided to approach it "direttissima" from Haukelandsvatnet. We parked in the southeast of Nygardsvika (langs Unnelandsvegen) and started in easterly direction -- to pass by (and below) Kalvehalsen. For a bit, we followed a (faint) trail, which leads up to a small building south (and above) Kalvehalsen. Instead of following this trail for any longer part, however, we quickly aimed at Stallafossen (there wasn't much to see or hear of this waterfall, though -- probably due to the rather dry perdiod during the past days). The goal was to ascend to a ridge in the south of Stallafossen (the first "big" one on the westside of the >>>

Exploring Suomenlinna south of Helsinki

Distanse:
5,8km

Our travel itinerary included about 24 hours in Helsinki before the follow-up flight further west. Exploiting our massive time confusion -- 6 am in Helsinki was like noon-time in Tokyo, after all -- we headed straight for the city center of Helsinki and from their, using the public ferry, to Suomenlinna, i.e., an island a bit south of the center of Helsinki, which previously was fortified massively. Today, quite a few visit this island, apparently, to see these fortifications. Before mostly following the "main-trail" across the island, we included a short detour to Pikku-Musta and Länsi-Musta, also. At the southern-most part of Suomenlinna, we then made a round around the fortifications before head back to the ferry quay where we had arrived earlier. Selected photos are available >>>

Steinfjellet from Osavatnet (via Vossavardane)

We decided to make a hike to Steinfjellet in the east of Gulltjørna. After comparing different approach options, we decided to hike Steinfjellet from Osavatnet (via Vossavardane). This gave us also the opportunity to explore the direct ascent to Vossavardane from Songstaddalen via Gasebrekkene. After parking near Osavatnet, we thus first hiked into the direction of Songstaddalen (northwest of Svartavassrinden). From Songstaddalen, we then entered the lower stretches of Gasebrekkene (steep, yes, but well doable -- without a trail, of course). Getting up to the saddle between Hotten in the south and Tjørndalsskaret in the north proved well possible, while steep as expected. The only one point to consider is that it's not all that clear how to avoid a bush war up there (possible, but one >>>

Evening walk to downtown Luxembourg. I started from Parc Hotel Alvisse and ascended first the Plateau de Kirchberg at op de Schleed. I then headed to the still relatively newly built up area at the Plateau de Kirchberg. There, I then passed by the Philharmonic Hall of Luxembourg. I then walked through the fortifications at Fort Thüngen to descend into the valley of the Alzette. On the other side, I found a way to get up to the Plateau Altmünster. From there, I used the Montée de Clausen to get into the city of Luxembourg. After walking across both the Place Guillaume II and the Place d'Armes, I then decided that it was time to head back to the hotel. Near the Rue des Bains, I got onto the Avenue de la Porte-Neuve, which I then followed until I got on the Rue des Glacis. Where this >>>
