Rundehaugen from Fjæreide
- Dato:
- 27.09.2020
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 4:30t
- Distanse:
- 9,7km
Since we expected the afternoon to be substantially cloudy, we decided to make a hike in the lowlands rather than up on some tops (and in the clouds). Since we had not yet explored this region in detail, we chose to start at Fjæreide (in the west of Knappskog on Sotra) and then aim for Rundehaugen (in the east of Skålvik). After driving along road 555 westwards to Sotra and then northwards (road 561), one comes to Knappskog. There, one can turn left (westwards, again) and follow a narrow road to Fjæreide, where there's ample space for parking next to the road (they may have had, or still have, plans to broaden this road, leaving quite a bit of not yet used space besides the road). At the southern-most point (in Fjæreide) the road crosses over a small valley in a large turn to the right. >>>
Krånipa, Raudnipa, and Hananipa (from Gullbotn)

After a quite rainy period, we looked forward to a weekend with some nice weather. After weighing several hiking ideas against each other, we settled on a slightly longer hike over three Nipa-mountains in the East of Gullbotn. Driving along E16 from Arna, we turned right and up towards Gullbotn near Trengereid. Once above the saddle, we left the road at Gullbotn and parked right there (quite a number of parking places there). According to our plan (Krånipa first), we first headed in northern direction to get around Øyjordsvatnet. Almost exactly where Teinelva enters Øyjordsvatnet, we used a convenient bridge for pedestrians to get over to the other, eastern side. There, we turned left, again, to head for a small valley that runs south-north in the west of Skåpet. While passing by >>>
Hovdane from Brattholo
- Dato:
- 08.08.2020
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 4:00t
- Distanse:
- 6,4km
With a somewhat unclear weather forecast, we aimed at something gentle, not too far up. Driving along E16 (into the direction of Voss), we left the main road a little southwest of Vinje, contiuning for bit into the direction of Hommedalen. Driving up Holbygdvegen to about 250mosl, we found a suitable place near Brattholo to park right next to the road. From there, we started walking along a minor road that winds up towards the eastern flank of Hagahovden. A little over 300mosl then, we left the road (basically where it ends) and continued along a trail that continues further upwards. At about 335mosl, we briefly explored a flag post with some view, before soon returning to the trail and following further upwards. At about 500mosl we then arrived at a nice shelter at Hovdane, enjoying >>>
Skarsnosi from Jordalen

- Distanse:
- 10,1km
We expected a nice day and thought about Bakkanosi, since we had not been there before. Looking down onto Nærøyfjorden from this place sounds like a worthwhile experience! We thus drove along E16 into the direction of Gudvangen, passing by Stalheim. Quite a bit down in Nærøydalen, we then turned left and used the new tunnel up to Jordalen. Not far up in Jordalen, where Slettedalen comes down from the East, one would park to start the "standard hike" to Bakkanosi (through Slettedalen). Coming there, we were shocked about the relatively large number of parked cars and immediately changed our plan. Instead of Bakkanosi, we now planned for Skarsnosi, not far from Bakkanosi. To get up there, we had thought to hike up the next valley (north of Slettedalen). To do so, we drove >>>
Tverrfjellet from Bidne
- Dato:

- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 5:00t
- Distanse:
- 13,6km
The weather forecast was moderately OK (quite a bit overcast with realistic chances for some rain), so we aimed for a moderate hike, bringing us not too high up (and into the clouds). Since we had not been there before and expected at least some nice views from up there, our choice was to hike up to Tverrfjellet from Oppheim. We thus drove to Oppheim first and then left the main road (E16) near Framnes to drive up a simple road into the direction of Bidne. A few meters after reaching Bidne (that's about one kilometer from E16), we turned right (eastwards) and drove a few meters more towards Bidneshovden. There, we parked and started our hike (in northern direction, on a forest road). We followed the forest road northwards, staying on the western side of Sundsvålselvi, steadily ascending >>>
Mor Si Grav (and Bergshaugen)
- Dato:

- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 1:30t
- Distanse:
- 4,9km
Again and again we had passed by (without stopping) before, so this time, on a rainy day, we decided to stop and take look at "Mor Si Grav" in Oppheim. We parked near the church and walked the few meters up to the old graveyard, where only "Mor Si Grav" (the mother's grave) remains. It's the place where the mother of Per Sivle is buried and an info plate not far from the grave explains some of the (quite moving!) history around it. After taking our time there, we then appended a little round around Bergshaugen, walking first up the hill and then over (at about 550mosl) to Uresåsen. From there, we then followed a gravel road (behind Bergshaugen) to Kvernhusholene. From there, we started our descent, first on the right (northern) side of Gryteelvi. At about 475mosl, >>>

When staying over night in Haugsvær, we were recommended to ascend to Gråsida from Indre Haugsdal. So that's what we did then! :-) We drove road E39 "back" south (into the direction of Bergen) and turned right in Matre (to leave E39 before entering Masfjordtunnelen). This brought us onto the old road and following it we entered Indre Haugsdal from Haugsdalvågen. Driving up this nice valley, we came by three particular hills (in the middle of the valley), which possibly gave the valley its name. Near Kjetland we crossed the river on an old stone bridge, turning right (into the direction of Storemyr) right after the bridge. Since we did not see any particular good parking opportunity next to this narrow road, we drove all the way to Storemyr and asked there. Luckily, we were >>>
Around Hopsdalen
- Dato:
- 31.07.2020
- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 8:30t
- Distanse:
- 22,4km
We drove along road E39 from Bergen northwards (into the direction of Masfjorden). After driving down through the long Masfjordtunnelen and passing through Matre at the very end of Matresfjorden, we crossed over to Haugsvær "behind" Nonklettfjellet. Before the main road (E39) disappears into another tunnel, we turned left in Haugsvær and parked right there.
Our (slightly ambitious) plan for the afternoon was to go around Hopsdalen (from Høgfjellet via Grønefjellet to Gavlen, and back via Rustefjellet). Considering the steep sides of Hopsdalen, we had looked at the map regarding a possible place for getting up to the top of the surrounding mountains. Near Indre Skjerjehogen, on the north side of Haugsværfjorden, we had thought that it should be possible to reach saddle Sygnegga >>>
Nessteinen from Mundheim
- Dato:

- Distanse:
- 8,4km
Having been "in the area", we decided to include a hike up to Nessteinen (or Steinen), expecting some nice views over Hardangerfjorden from up there. Another reason for choosing something not more extensive was the expectation of an overcast day with somewhat unstable weather. We drove the very nice road 49 from Norheimsund southwards (first around Visoldo to Strandebarm and then further southwards along Daurmålsegga to Mundheim). In Mundheim, we parked and started our hike first for a few meters northwards along road 48. At Oppheim, we crossed Storelva and walked up a simple field road to about 50mosl, where the field road meets the forest. From there, we continued along an not really used forest road, leading diagonally upwards (in eastern direction). At about 75mosl, however, >>>
Skrott and Breidablik from Fitjadalen
- Dato:
- 24.07.2020
- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 5:30t
- Distanse:
- 12,5km
Expecting a nice summer day, we headed into the direction of Hardanger. Our plan was to ascend to Skrott, starting from Fitjadalen. After first driving to Øystese, via Kvamskogen, we turned into a northwards direction in Øystese, ascending east of Øysteseelva towards Fitjadalsvatnet. After rounding Fitjadalsvatnet on its eastern side, we parked at Fitjadalen and started hiking along the nicely marked trail leading up to Breidablik via Håsete and Vindskjersleitet. One first walks a bit "kind of" level until crossing Kjølo, coming down from Smørdalen, before then starting a significant ascent into the direction of Håsete. All in all, there isn't too much interesting to write about this trail, rather than that it's straight-forward to follow. At Håsete, we deviated for >>>
