Gaustadfjellet, Litlafjellet, Bårafjellet, Øyjordsfjellet

With a very promising spring day ahead, we decided to try some new top(s) in the north of Meland, i.e., Gaustadfjellet and others. We took road E39 northwards from Bergen, crossed Nordhordlandsbrua, and connected then to the small road #245 that departs from the road to Frekhaug right after the bridge to Meland. We then followed this narrow road northwards until we arrived at Ådland. We parked, where Kyrkjesundvegen departs in northern direction.
On the map, we had seen that approximately 200m south of this point, a path up to Gaustadfjellet should be possible to find---getting there, however, required a little bit of good orientation (and one more look at the map, actually). Once on this path, however, the ascent to Gaustadfjellet is straight-forward and quick. From the top of Gaustadfjellet, >>>
Veten i Åsane via Skagen

Inspired by a recent hike of a colleague , I decided for a tour up to Veten i Åsane today. I found the idea to include also Skagen i Åsane attractive and thus planned for a little round, accordingly.
To start, I took the car to Åsane (along E39) and then, near IKEA, I connected to a very narrow, small road, which leads towards Dalabygda in the northwest of Langavatnet (where the old post-path starts to ascend between Høgstefjellet and Veten i Åsane). Next to the few houses there, a parking place has been built as a convenient starting point for hikers along the old post-path.
In order to make the ascent to Skagen a little more interesting, I thought that I could try to go there via the smaller hilltops, which one can find between Langavatnet and Skagen, i.e., Glanten, Alteret, and Husaberget. From looking at the >>>
Short walk in Kanadaskogen
- Dato:

- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 1:00t
- Distanse:
- 3,5km
We simply headed for Kanadaskogen (from Varden) and explored some paths aside of the more regularly used ones. After all, this was just a short walk in order to get some fresh air. How nice to have Kanadaskogen right around the corner! :-)

Wet Litlesotra (very wet!)
- Dato:
- 25.03.2017
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 3:00t
- Distanse:
- 8,5km
I took the car along road #555 towards the west from Bergen, crossing the Sotra-bridge to Litlesotra. There, I continued to Straume (where also the Sator Center is), and followed the small road #209 towards the north from there. I passed the places, where one could drive to Foldnes and to Anglavik, later, and arrived in a small place called Vågo shortly after.
I left the car in Vågo and started my hike in southern direction. Very soon, I had to leave the path, which I had started on, and continued through the wild (as expected from studying the map in advance). The first (nearby) target was Storanipa, just south of Vågo. On its western side, there are steep cliffs, but ascending to it from any of the other directions is straight forward. Next, I had already planned to cross over (in >>>
Møsnuken from Tveit
- Dato:

- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:

- Distanse:
- 5,5km
Via Fana, we first drove to Osøyro, before we continued along road 137 (in northeastern direction). We passed Heggland and continued to Tveit, where we parked the car near to the point, where the street passes over Spannsteigselva, coming down from Gjemdalsskaret (at the end of our hike, we should come down exactly there, too).
Our plan was to ascend towards Møsnuken via Tveitaberget. To do so, we first found a little forest road, which departs from Hegglandsdalsvegen a little southwest of where we parked (i.e., back along the street, which we had come there). This forest road leads upwards (mostly in western direction) and brings one conveniently to a height of about 150mosl. There, after an extended left swing, the road splits into a somewhat more prominent part, leading upwards in northern >>>
Along Sælevatnet
- Dato:
- 12.03.2017
- Turtype:
- Spasertur
- Turlengde:
- 0:45t
- Distanse:
- 2,3km
I started from Varden and got down from Vardeveien to Fyllingsdalsveien near the bridge, which crosses over Fyllingsdalsveien from Vardeveien (and over to Skitnakastet). After crossing Fyllingsdalsveien, I quickly descended towards Sælevatnet. Then, I followed the shoreline, first in southern direction, following the outer edge of this small peninsula, separated from "the rest of the world" by Fyllingsdalsveien. After having completed this surrounding, I got back to Skitnakastet, where I took the small bridge back to Vardeveien. From there, it was then only a few meters back to the start.

- 12,0km
After a day with an important deadline (and the according stress) as well as teaching in the afternoon, I decided that it was time to get out into the fresh air. Even though already 16h30 in the afternoon, I thought that walking home via Løvstakken could be an option!
I left Høyteknologisenteret in Bergen, crossed the new pedestrian bridge "Småpudden", and then headed for a quick connection to Løvstien. Following Damsgårdsveien a bit into southeastern direction brought me to a place, where some stairs lead upwards (to Michael Krohns gate). Crossing Michael Krohns gate, I found new stairs on the other side, leading further upwards (first to Lien and then to Nordre Skogveien). There (on Nordre Skogveien), I had to walk back (in southeastern direction) a little, before entering >>>

We started at Varden, walking down Marineveien and further on Bjørgeveien, where we turned left into Sandeidbrotet, leading steeply upwards (in the direction of Knappatjørna). At "the top", where the street makes a sharp turn to the left, a hiking path leaves to the right (only a few meters above another side-road, which only connects to a private place). Following the hiking path (into northwestern direction) brings one nearby Røstafjellet, i.e., another residential area north of Knappen and slightly elevated above Bjørgeveien. Before actually entering this area, another hiking path leaves to the left and upwards, first in western direction, but then, following the ridge, turning more and more into southern direction. Once on the ridge, the path follows the heights up to >>>

We took bus #4 and got off at stop Sandvikstorget. We found a way up to Amalie Skrams vei and continued along Uren to get further up. Eventually, we went Sudmanns vei up to its end. There, one can sneak through some openings in order to get further up (to Fjellveien). Once on Fjellveien (there), it is only a few meters, before one can start with Stolzekleiven.
We then ascended along Stolzekleiven in order to reach Sandviksfjellet. Clearly, many others were also out in order to test their strengths on Stolzekleiven. It is quite impressive, one must admit, with its many steps and the steep ascent to the top end, roughly 300 height meters above Fjellveien. One their, we continued off-trail along the (gentle) ridge in order to get to the actual "top" of Sandviksfjellet (a place, >>>

We drove to Arna from Bergen and continued (for a bit) on E16 until we came to the large bridge, which connects Osterøy for drivers. We crossed the bridge and took the first turn to the right (into the direction of Bruvik), instead of entering the long tunnel that leads further inlands and north on Osterøy. We drove this narrow and winding road a little bit to the east until we came to a small place called Blom. There we parked our car along the "main road" (at the eastern end of Blom), after we had asked and checked that this was OK.
From the car we first walked a few meters back (in northwestern direction), following a narrow secondary road that connects to the few buildings of Blom. Only a few meters up this small road, one can easily find the trail head for this hike (there >>>
