Round around Bjørndalsvatnet

Dato:
01.01.2020
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:
26.12.2019
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 >>>

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 >>>

Visiting Tobrik

Dato:
14.12.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

Having not so very much daylight at our disposal, we decided to "simply" do a walk in Kanadaskogen. To make this a slightly little bit more interesting, we decided to visit " The other big rock in Kanadaskogen " (Tobrik). We started from Varden and headed first towards Gjeddevatnet. We then hiked along it, continuing to Bjørndalsvatnet, just north of Gjeddevatnet. After having hiked along this little lake, also, we then followed a trail further northwards that leads to Svartatjørna. After having passed this nice little lake on its western side, we continued towards Storamyra. There, a new paved trail has emerged and along with it a wooden shelter for those, who wish to enjoy a dry break very close to Svartatjørna. Instead of staying there, we right away continued and crossed Storamyra off-trail in >>>

Lyderhorn biked&hiked

Dato:
23.11.2019
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
16,6km

This time, we decided to combine a little bike trip with a short hike up and down Lyderhorn. We started from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen and biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. After passing by Vestkanten at Loddefjord, we continued further northwards along Lyderhornveien in the west of Skarpafjellet. After crossing over the highway, we biked further upwards along Kjøkkelvikveien, passing by Kjøkkelvik school. We left our bikes at the place, where we met Lyderhornslien. From there, we hiked the main trail up in southeastern direction, heading towards Små-Lyderhorn, first. This time, we also took a few extra minutes to actually step up to the "top" of Små-Lyderhorn. There, we enjoyed a better view than expected, so it is in fact worthwhile >>>

Veten and Varden on Eldsfjellet

Dato:
10.11.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,1km

Starting from Bergen, we drove northwards, first, crossing over Nordhordlandsbrua on road E39. On the other side, instead of further following the main road, we turned left and onto road 564 that extends in northwestern direction on the southwestern side of Holsnøy. Eldsfjellet is found quite far in the northwest of Holsnøy and we aimed at parking near Skurtveit, only a bit after coming through Vikebø at Rosslandspollen. Close to Svehaugane, just a few meters up from the sea at Rosslandsvegen, we found a parking opportunity near a place, where apparently the bus also turns around. From there, we started our hike along Skurtveitvegen, first. We followed some minor roads to a point right in the south of Storatjørna from where a trail is starting in northern direction. Passing by Storatjørna >>>

Lyderhorn from Lyderhornsveien

Dato:
03.11.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,2km

With a bit of time and a wonderful November Sunday, we headed for Lyderhorn to get some fresh air. In order to do at least a bit of new research, we decided to try a new ascent (via Skarpafjellet). We parked the car right next to Lyderhornsveien where also an animal clinic is found (near Lyderhornsveien 293). From there we had seen on the map that a trail should start and then lead diagonally upwards in southwestern direction (passing below some cliffs first), before one would be high enough to ascent further to Skarpafjellet (then in northern direction) without any major difficulties. When getting started, however, we got the impression that the owners of the property nearby the trail-head were clear in that they not wish anyone to actually use this trail. Not interested in having any >>>

Hausdalshorgi (and Austefjellet) from Hausdalen

Dato:
06.10.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
11,0km

After completing a rather adventurous hike up and down Møsnuken the day before, we were ready for a new adventure! :-) For years, already, we were wondering whether one could hike Hausdalshorgi from "the bottom of" Hausdalen, also. After studying the map carefully, we decided to give this a try. It had appeared quite doable to hike up the southwestern ridge of Hausdalshorgi, at least from the tree line at about 350mosl. The major remaining question then was about how to get up to this point (N60°20′05″, E5°31′15″). The maps suggests one approach via Askestølen (hiking up a forest road from Samdal first and then continuing in the direction of Bjøllebotn). Since this would require a bit of hiking on roads (first along Hausdalsvegen, then along Lundagotnene), we wondered whether a more direct approach from Hausdalsvegen >>>
