Gløvrebu

Dato:
27.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,6km

After our excursion to Skogsøyna , we decided to also see "the split rock" at Gløvrebu. We parked right next to the cemetary of Hjelme church on Seløyna and followed the main trail out to Gløvrebu, choosing the variant that brings one out to the sea early. At Gløvrebu, we then stepped through the gap in the rock -- as one obviously has to! :-) -- before enjoying the early evening near the coast for some time. To get back to our car, we then followed the trail that "hugs" Ramberget (in the west of Hjelme church). Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Skogsøy, always impressive!

Dato:
27.07.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
5,7km

Skogsøy is always ("always") a good idea! :-) We parked near the bridge to Herdlevær and followed the main trail to Skogsøytua. There, we explored the wild cliffs before then taking the southern route back to Mjelkevik. From there, we then followed the main trail back to the car. While Skogsøy is no longer as secret a tip as it was before, it's still a very nice hike to an impressive place (where "the last resort" of Norwegian land meets the open North Atlantic)!

Evening walk to Knappen

Dato:
26.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,5km

With still a couple of daylight hours to go (easy in July around here!), we decided to simply make a short round to Knappen. Evening light is actually quite nice -- also on Knappen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Exploring Ytrebygda a little more

Dato:
24.07.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
27,8km

To get some fresh air in the nice weather, I embarked on a short bike trip with a few small walking bits. I first explored Storåsen on Dolvikhaugene, just to find the "actual top" to be a bit too much within the houses around it. I then visited Skranevatnet in the southwest of Feråsen, which was a nice surprise. Next, I explored Storasåta in the north of Ytrebygsvegen. When approached from the north/northeast, one can actually find a proper trail that leads up to this small hill. Thereafter, I paid Lilandshaugen a short visit, which offers quite some nice views across the airport of Bergen. I improvised my way up, just to then find out that actually there's a convenient road (Lilandsvegen) that leads up to the vista-point. After biking around Lilandshaugen, I then checked >>>

Søtefjellet from Hausdalen

Dato:
20.07.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:30t
Distanse:
10,4km

We wished to use the nice weather on this warm Saturday afternoon and headed for Hausdalen in the southeast of Bergen. Driving Hausdalen in for a little less than 7km, we parked in the southwest of Tømmervika (Samdalsvatnet), where a forest road forks off Hausdalsvegen into the direction of Straumsrinden. Following this forest road, we passed by Samdalsvatnet in its southwest, heading for the southwestern ridge of Søtefjellet, starting at Hisbotn. Just because others have described their ascent to the small hill in the north of Ulvvatnet (and even though they did not recommend to visit it -- or maybe because of their according comments :-)), this hill was included as a prelude to the ascent to Søtefjellet. Back on the forest road, and "around some corners in the northeast of Ulvvatnet, >>>

Fuglenosi from Gravalen and Hjelle via Avdal gard

Dato:
30.06.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
10,1km

With many days in advance, we originally had thought to hike up to Stølsmaradalstinden from Gravdalen on this day. Given the weather (medium-high clouds, well engulving the highest tops, with some precipitation every now and then) and the rather wet walk through Gravdalen on the day before, we decided to drop our Stølsmaradalstinden plan and instead do something below the clouds. Still recalling the map that had suggested that one could find a trail, crossing over at Åsetvatnet and then continuing further along the heights to Stølsmaradalen, and also having read that the trail between Avdal gard and Stølsmaradalen should be nice and well-marked, we decided to hike first to Fuglenosi and then to find a way down to the trail between Avdal gard and Stølsmaradalen (in order to walk this trail then down to Avdal gard). >>>

Gravdalen via Botnanosi from Øvre Årdal

Dato:
29.06.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
7:00t
Distanse:
13,4km

Our original plan was to first go up to Gravdalen and then, on the next day, further up to Stølsmaradalstinden. The weather forecast, however, did not look all too promising until only shortly before we left for Øvre Årdal. On the day before we wanted to start our two-days hike, however, the forecast became better (not really good, though) and so we decided to at least begin with the first planned leg (from Øvre Årdal to Gravdalen via Botnanosi). After finding a suitable place in Øvre Årdal, where we could leave our car for the night, also, we started the hike following a well-marked trail up to Ramnaberget, i.e., the impressive cliff directly north of Øvre Årdal. After enjoying the views from Ramnaberget (and a nice little chat with two hikers from England), we continued along >>>

Molden from Marifjøra (up via Svåi)

Dato:
28.06.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
15,7km

We left Bergen early in the morning with a plan to start hiking around noon-time. The plan was to hike up to Molden. After searching a little here on Peakbook , we got inspired by Jørn Håvard Ask , who wrote in his trip report " trip report " that hiking Molden from the north was really good! :-) We thus drove to Marifjøra, where road #55 (Lustravegen) comes down to meet Gaupnefjorden (only a few kilometers before reaching Gaupne). The idea was to leave the car there, ready to be picked up after coming down from Molden in Marifjøra, and then first walk Eikjastrondsvegen (along Gaupnefjorden) to the southeast and the start our ascent near Svåi. After about 2km on Eikjastrondsvegen, we found a trail-head for Molden, just meters before reaching Svåi. The original plan had been to first walk up to the highest house >>>

Around Løvstakken (and up to it, too)

Dato:
15.06.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
22,9km

We combined two ideas: Cycle along Løvstien and visit Løvstakken. We started at Varden and biked around Sælevatnet, continuing then along Straumeveien until we came to Bøneset. There we crossed under the main road to then ascend towards Storahugen and further to Kråkenes. Following road Øvre Kråkenes, we got to the start point of Løvstien (on its southern end). We then biked along Løvstien, passing by Lerkhaugen and Lisahaugen, until we were close to Grønnestølen. At about (5.3307E/60.3549) we then parked our bikes at the side of Løvstien, where also a trail from Grønnestølstunet comes up. From there, we then started our ascent towards Løvstakken, starting in southwestern direction (up towards a small saddle that would bring us over and into "Dalen"). While one >>>

Knappen

Dato:
02.06.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:45t
Distanse:
4,8km

To get some fresh air, we decided to do a quick round over Knappen, approaching it via Sandeidbrotet (up to Eldtona, first). After crossing over to Såta on Knappen, we then descended furthre southwards (via Hesthaugen). Before stepping out on Knappenveien, we saw some (new?) signs near the sports area, suggesting a trail through the forest to Knappentunet. Following this trail, we first made quick progress into the right direction. After a while, however, the trail seemed to cross over some wet area at Hesthaugen, becoming less visible (or not at all, actually). Following our basic sense of orientation, we crossed through the forest into the right direction, connecting to Knappenveien at Knappentunet in the south of Knappatjørna. From there, it was then straight-forward (mostly) to >>>
