New Løvstien (again)
- Dato:
- 24.12.2015
- Turtype:
- Spasertur
- Turlengde:
- 1:30t
- Distanse:
- 5,2km
We parked along the road Klauvsteinen and walked from there---first along Klauvsteinen, before then takinng a pedestrians path up to Øvre Riplegården. After walking over the saddle (on Øvre Riplegården), we continued to the newest section of Løvstien. We then followed Løvstien down and towards Bergen, turning around the mountain along with the path. Before Løvstien gets all the way down, connecting to Løvstakkveien, some new paths lead up to a vantage spot called Skillingsbollen. The way back from there followed then basically the same as for getting there.
New Løvstien

We parked along the road Klauvsteinen and walked from there (first along Klauvsteinen, before then takinng a pedestrians path up to Øvre Riplegården). After walking over the saddle (on Øvre Riplegården), we found the entry point to the newest section of Løvstien. We then followed Løvstien down and towards Bergen, turning around the mountain along with the path. A lot of efforts have been put into making this path a nice one, really! :-) At a vantage point (above St. Markus kirke), we then turned around and walked back. Given the very wet weather, this was at least a short walk to get some fresh air. :-)

Storevarden and Kolbeinsvarden
- Dato:
- 13.12.2015
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 1:15t
- Distanse:
- 4,9km
We parked near Erdal church on the east of Askøy, a few kilometers north of Kleppestø. From there, we first followed a road, Svartedalsvegen. Right after two U-turns, a small road departs to the right, leading to a few houses (two?) that are "kind of hidden" in a small valley. We passed the houses (in the valley), searching for a good spot to ascend to Storevardsbrekka, i.e., another road much higher up that is servicing houses that are built high up the hillside. We found a way to get up there, but it was comparably wild and not recommended. Back on the street (now Storevardsbrekka), we followed it until the end from where a path leads on the remaining few meters up to Storevarden. From there, we followed a path northwards, passing by Langafjellet and connecting to the main >>>
Storhovden in Kanadaskogen
- Dato:
- 12.12.2015
- Turtype:
- Fottur
- Turlengde:
- 1:30t
- Distanse:
- 7,1km
We started from Varden, entering Kanadaskogen near Hesjaholten. From there, we mostly followed small paths---if paths at all---approaching and ascending to Storhovden. Back, we first descended a little wilder from Storhovden than what would have been necessary---not recommended, actually. We then connected back to Syningen and from there we reached Stora Krokatjørna on a nice path. From there, we connected back to Hesjaholten, passing by Litla Krokatjørna, also.

Around Spåkevatnet

- Turlengde:
- 2:30t
- Distanse:
- 8,6km
We parked near Arna Stadion and crossed Spåkelva where the sports flat covers a part of it in the southwest. A few meters up from there and we came to Spåkevegen, which lead us a short bit towards south, along Spåkelva, before a sign helps to find the ascent to Beitelen (departing from Spåkevegen to the right). A well visible path leads up a gentle ridge that leads to a small top just underneath Beitelen---from there, one enjoys a good overview over Spåkevatnet. From there, it's only a few meters to the top of Beitelen---actually, one first gets to a saddle and if one really needs to visit the very top of Beitelen (not that great, however), then one would first turn right at this saddle. We reached the top quickly, mostly in order to see, whether there would be nice views northwards >>>
Lyderhorn
- Dato:
- 28.11.2015
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 1:15t
- Distanse:
- 3,5km
We parked near Kjøkkelvik school and started our ascent of Lyderhorn via Lyderhornslien. While the main path up Lyderhorn (from there) departs from the road already in one of the lower turns, we aimed for a less used, small path that departs from Lyderhornslien at this road's very end---right next to the building blocks on top (pass by the larger building blocks, heading north, for a few meters until you see wooden stairs leading up right behind one of the blocks). From there, it's straight-forward to follow the path upwards. Before getting to the top of Lyderhorn, one meets a more frequented path that leads to the top from the northern side. In half an hour, we reached the top and enjoyed some strong November weather impressions there. We basically returned on the same path down, avoiding >>>
Krånipa, Holdhusfjellet, and Raudfjellet

I parked on a convenient parking spot (for several cars!) at Nordre Skulstad, not far from where the paved road ends (one could, probably, drive all the way up to the dam, but it's not far from there anyway). From there, I first walked up to the dam (on a gravel road), before I turned right, southwards, and there crossed the stream that comes down from Skulstadvatnet on a bridge right underneath the dam. On the other side, another gravel road winds along Skulstadvatnet towards Kråaustebotn. I followed this road until it turns "too much" left (in northeastern direction)---there, I decided to leave the road, using one of the minor ridges that run down from Krånipa towards Kråaustebotn in northern direction, aiming for the ridge that would bring me up to Krånipa. On the frozen >>>
Furekampane & Skavdalen
- Dato:
- 21.11.2015
- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 3:00t
- Distanse:
- 8,1km
We parked near Dyngelandsvatnet and rounded the small lake on the southeastern side, then ascending to Fjellsenden. From there, we basically walked all over the long ridge of Furukampane. On the other end, at Ravnabrotet, we got to look down on Grimevatnet. From there, we turned right and back, a little, descending into Skavdalen (and crossing it close to the northern end of a small lake which is located right underneath Langavatnet). We climbed up on the eastern side to Øvre Skavdalen and from there further to a small top underneath Brattlandsfjellet. There we turned back, descending again into Øvre Skavdalen and from there back to the small lake (but now to its southern end). From there, it is only a few steps to the northern end of Langavatnet and a path leads along this lake on >>>
Liatårnet and Høgafjellet
- Dato:

- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 2:45t
- Distanse:
- 8,4km
We parked south of Fjell, where a road departs, leading to Fjell Festning. We followed this road for a bit, before we continued towards Liatårnet (to the right). Someone has put significant efforts into putting signs up and marking the path, so it's really straight forward now to find the path up Liatårnet. :-) From Liatårnet, we enjoyed nice views in all directions, before we continued southwards towards Høgafjellet. After the first descent, we probably followed an older path, before we connected back to the blue-marked path towards Høgafjellet. The path from Liatårnet to Haganes, via Høgafjellet, is really very nice with great views and rough, wild romantic impressions. Before walking out towards the road near Haganes, we descended to a half-high level. We were wondering, whether >>>
