Bont from Jordalen

Dato:
20.06.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
3,4km

Leaving Nærøydalen (just underneath Stalheim) to the north, we entered Jordalen through the steep, narrow and slippery tunnels that lead from about 130m above sealevel (in Nærøydalen) up to Jordalen (on about 420masl) -- quite impressive to start with! :-) We then drove up to the first farm on the eastern side of the valley (at about 520masl). From there, we first followed a forest path, leading gently upwards in a northeastern direction. We crossed a fence and then ascended (more or less following the steepest possible path) towards the east, later more towards SE. We passed a place that is called Bont (almost flat), before we continued towards Fossaholena. All in all, we did not get up to significant heights -- instead, we met an increasing amount of snow and since we did not have >>>

Storrinden

Distanse:
3,1km

Leaving Kokstadvegen to Storrinden, a parking place was found after about 100m. From there, it's just following a gravel road up to the "top" (at times, one can follow a trail, which is easy to find and follow). On the top, one sees (a bit) towards the east and north (even though the trees are too high to really have a good view). On the other side, one can look down onto Flesland airport, which is a worthwhile experience! :-) All in all, this really is an easy and quick tour (45mins., or so).

Herlandsfjellet via Skåldalsnipa and Skåldalsfjellet

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,7km

Driving up Gullfjellsvegen, which leads to the parking place right next to Osavatnet, we parked already early, where a small street leaves to the left, up Skålsdalen. We first followed this small street, which steeply winds towards a few houses. Before the very end of the asphalt road, we left towards the left, first along a simple tracktor track, then across the steep medow up towards the ridge, which then leads up to Skåldalsnipa. On the ridge, we connected to a simple path, which nicely lead us up to Skåldalsnipa -- the last meters underneath a material lift, which extends there from Skålsdalen. From Skåldalsnipa, we continued via the heights, mostly in a northeasterly direction and quite a bit into the direction of Arna / Reppadalen. Then we crossed Larsmyren -- quite wet indeed! >>>

Ørnafjellet

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:06t
Distanse:
4,6km

Starting from NUTEC, we first connected (via some stairs in the back of Hesteviken and through the forest along a simple path) to the path (called Mørderbakken!), which leads up to Ørnafjellet from the east (quite steep, but not as bad as the name would suggest). Once on the ridge, we turned left to quickly ascend to Ørnafjellet, where we turned. Back, we took the path that connects to the road, which we then descended back to NUTEC.

Olsokfjellet, Damsgårdsfjellet, and Gravdalsfjellet

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:40t
Distanse:
5,8km

Starting from Betanien, we first connected to Nordnæsdalsveien (via Jonstadveien), before we turned right, shortly after passing the boom, then following a nice path that lead us up to Olsokfjellet (from the south). From Olsokfjellet, we connected to Damsgårdsfjellet, and from there we continued in a westerly direction, descending (steep!) to Skaret. Up on the other side, we crossed Holefjellet and continued towards Nygårdsnipa. Changing more and more into a southerly direction, we ascended Gravdalsfjellet (from the north). Continuing our round, we passed by Viggohytten -- or what remains now, after the hut burned down, recently! From there, mostly heading eastwards, we quickly connected back to Vestlund and to Betanien. All in all, a nice easy hike in beautiful summer weather! :-)

Løvstakken (steepest way up)

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:06t
Distanse:
3,6km

Starting from Kirsten Flagstads vei, we first went up Rosenlundveien (in the direction towards Strutsefarmen). Before actually getting to the farm, we turned left and continued steeply upwards until the street makes a larger swing to the right. There, one can leave the street and continue, first between some trees, and then under a line (telephone line?), more or less directly up towards Løvstakken. Up via a really steep path, one quickly gets to the top of Løvstakken (it took us less than 25 mins. to ascend, making about 360 height meters in this time). From the top, we descended first in the direction of Gullsteinen, before we turned right (again into the direction towards Strutsefarmen). But also this time, we did not continue all the way to the farm, but left the main path and found >>>

Geitanuken

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:45t
Distanse:
8,3km

We started from Nordre Toppe and ascended quickly to the ridge in the west that leads up to Geitanuken (via Vedskaråsen and Novvarden). Due to recent rain, the path was slippery and wet. Still, this hike up Geitanuken from the northwest is nice and easy and very enjoyable! Also, one can enjoy several nice views over Byfjorden and Askøy, etc. Once on Geitanuken, we continued towards Åsane, i.e., towards south-southeast, descending via a path that is steeper than what we had walked up (still no problem at all -- just slippery after the rain). We got down to Myrdalskogen and passed by the houses through the near forrest -- staying close to the houses, though. From a large turn of Myrdalskogen road, we turned left (in northeasterly direction), descending steeply first and ascending then >>>

Såtefjellet

4:30t
Distanse:
12,3km

Driving to Osterøy via the impressive toll bridge was easy and quick from Bergen. Our plan was to start near Stokko and to ascend first to a forest road that goes along the fjord at some 100 meters above sea-level and which we had seen on the map in advance. Instead, we parked -- accidentally -- where the road crosses Kjindalen and ascended from there. It seemed to us that others have done that before -- at least it looked like steps in the steep terrain. The valley we ascended through is very steep and it was quite slippery due to the recent rain. When it started to open up a little (Erdalen?) and when we also had the impression that we should have reached the height of the forest road, we continued to the northeast, parallel to the fjord, to find the forest road. It turned out that >>>

Leirvågfjellet i Fana

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,6km

We parked at the parking place at Korsneset, right where the (narrow) road enters a military area. From there, we first followed a forest road northwards, before turning to the right, where there seemed to be a path. The eastwards path passed north of Moldstigahaugen, descending again on the other, eastern side of this hill. We decided to ascend to the top of Moldstigahaugen (from the eastern side). Afterwards, we followed a (rather less than more visible) path northwards towards Leirvågfjellet. The view from this top is quite nice in all directions! We continued further northwards, finding a possibility to descend down to the saddle between Leirvågfjellet and Kampen. From there we followed a reasonably well visible path towards the north-northwest (below the steep western slope of >>>

Ørnafjellet i Bergen

4,7km

We parked north of Gravdal (near Nutec) and followed the road up the northern slope of Lyderhorn (until where it enters the military area). We then followed the path along the southern fence of this area, heading southeast towards Ørnafjellet. From the top of Ørnafjellet, we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden (to the north) and to Lyderhorn and Damsgårdsfjellet (to the south and east). We then aimed at finding the path down the eastern slope of Ørnafjellet, directly to Gravdal, but we left the path, which we had taken up Ørnafjellet much too early. This made us descend through a moderately steep forest (without any path). While doable, this part was not most enjoyable and it should be recommended to follow the actual path downwards. Once down in Gravdal, we returned to the car along >>>
