Eldsfjellet from the north

Dato:
20.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
8,0km

We had not been on Eldsfjellet for a while -- not the two of us, at least! Eldsfjellet is -- for good reasons -- a relatively popular hiking destination (it's not really high, as a mountain, but since it's standing out of its surrounding quite a bit, one can expect quite nice views from its heights). Here on Peakbook, as well as on other hiking platforms, one can easily get the impression that everyone (or "everyone") hikes up to Eldsfjellet from its south, either from the parking spot near Alvhøyen along Skjelangervegen, or from Skurtveit via Skurtveitvegen. Harald 's approach from the northwest is a notable exception, of course! :-) Even though it looked like off-trail a lot, we made a plan to approach Eldsfjellet from the north, instead. The idea was to follow Skjelangervegen further and around Eldsfjellet, >>>

Liatårnet from Liaskjeret

Dato:
11.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,1km

We took the car from Bergen towards the west, crossing over Sotrabrua. In the west of Bildøya, we turned south (onto Døsjevegen), driving to Liaskjeret in the east of Liatårnet. From Liaskjærshallen, we then started our hike with our first goal being the trail that leads up to Liatårnet from Hølo. To get there, we had the choice between walking along Liaskjervegen for a good stretch and the alternative of following a simple trail above (in the west) of the houses. Choosing the latter, we first walked up Elvabakkvegen to get to the nearest trail head near house #11. A few hundred meters further west (and up a little), we then turned right (northwards), aiming for Skoradalen via a simple trail. West of Skogsbrekko, however, we did not really find a good way to continue further to >>>

Møsnuken from Heggeland and Gjemdalsskaret

Dato:
06.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,9km

We thought that crossing over Møsnuken from Gjemdal / Heggeland (in the east) to Krokvatnet (in the north) and then returning via Gjemdalsskaret back to the starting point sounded like a nice idea. :-) Accordingly, we took the new E39 connection from Bergen to Osøyro, just to continue into Hegglandsdalen from there (road 579). After passing by Tveitavatnet, we found a place to leave our car (quite near to where Spannsteigselva comes down from Gjemdalsskaret). Instead of following the gravel road up to Gjemdalsskaret from Gjemdal (to then connect to the trail that leads up to Tveitaskaret), we aimed at an ascent route through the forest in the west of Spannsteigselva (without trail). Near house #659 along Hegglandsdalsvegen we stepped onto a simple field road, leading steeply upwards into >>>

Solbakkafjellet from Hausdalen

Dato:
05.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,1km

Since we had not been there for a while, we thought that hiking up to Solbakkafjellet once again may nice. This time, however, we decided to approach it from Hausdalen near Haugland. Driving into Hausdalen, we found a place near Haugland, where we could leave the car for a few hours. From there, we started to approach Solbakkafjellet "straight up" (without any trail). The southeastern flank of Solbakkafjellet (Skoralia) is steep and occasionally one needs to find a way around some obstacles on the way up. Still, ascending "straight up" is not really difficult. Within not too long, we accordingly arrived at the top of Solbakkafjellet, paying Petersplassen a short visit (we could not remember this place from our last visit). We then crossed over the long top-ridge of >>>

Bike-hiking Skavdalsfjellet (and some additional hills)

Dato:
23.07.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
43,6km

Due to some unfortunate illness, this excursion was without the usual company. The idea was to first ride my eBike to a suitable starting point and then do a hike from there. Also, I thought to make a hike, which we quite likely would not do together (parts of the planned hike were predicted to be more like a bush war than anything else*), ending up at the area in the northeast of Myrdalsvatnet with its smaller (and honestly speaking also not terribly exciting) hills (Kattuglehaugane, Barkahaugane, Kattuglefjellet, and Preståsen). I also thought to visit two small hills in Skjold (Skjoldhøgda and Storåsen), since they were along my route to Myrdalsvatnet (and since I thought that I'd never visit them otherwise anyway). Biking around Søråsen, I made my way to Skjold. Finding a good route >>>

Stålet from Ytre Honningsvåg

Dato:
10.07.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,0km

After not seeing much on Vestkapp , we continued to Honningsvågen to make an attempt at Stålet (as far north as you can get on Stadlandet, or so). We found a convenient place to park in Ytre Honningsvåg, right next to the trail head (place for about two cars). From there, we followed a marked trail that extends northwards from Ytre Honningsvåg, traversing the quite steep western slopes of Storebruna, Storeknausen, and Stålsegga at "half height" (or so). While this hike is not long and you also don't have to make many height meters, just the matter of fact that you traverse a relatively steep mountain side (basically all the way out and in), requires a bit of extra care. Also, if the condition should be wet, there may be risks to slip, which could be quite bad in the steepest sections. >>>

Vestkapp on Stadlandet

Dato:
10.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
0,6km

After first paying Vågsøy and Måløy a short visit, we continued to Stadlandet. Our first stop was Vestkapp on Kjerringa in the northwest of Stadlandet. Taking the road up to a parking spot quite close to the actual top, we eventually entered some very thick (and wet) clouds that enshrouded all of the top. Even just a few meters from the massive meteorological radar station on top of Kjerringa we had some difficulties to actually find and see it! :-) Since our views were extremely limited anyway (and it was quite a bit wet, also!), we decided to not stay there for any significant time, but return to our car soon, instead, with our next goal, Stålet , in front of us! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Short visit to Hendanes Fyret

Dato:
10.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
1,4km

After visiting Kannesteinen , we also wished to see the other side of Torskangerpollen and walking out to the small light house at Hendanes seemed to be a good idea. :-) The path out there is in fact nicely prepared so that this very much is an easy and full uncomplicated walk. Once out at Hendaneset, we enjoyed some great views, not only across Torskangerpollen, but also across Kvalheimsvika to Ytre Kvalheim as well as into the opposite direction (towards Klovningen). Nice walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Kannesteinen on Vågsøy

Dato:
10.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
0,2km

On our way to Stadlandet, we also paid Vågsøy and Måløy a visit. On Vågsøy, we then also drove out to Kannesteinen near Nordoppedalen. Not only is this stone impressive with its particular shape, but also the whole scenery around Torskangerpollen is worth seeing! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Havreneset and Nordnes in Florø

Dato:
09.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,8km

After arriving relatively late in Florø, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air. We also liked the idea to visit Nordnes in the northwest of Florø and so we just went onto a short but nice stroll. First, we visited Havreneset, where quite a bit of installation of an (old) radio station (Florø Radio, discontinued after 2018) is still to be seen. We then stepped along the coast to Nordnes and the marina in Håvågen there. Always nice to smell a bit of ocean air; especially after a long drive! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .
