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 >>>

Two old stone crosses in Eivindvik

Dato:
09.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
0,7km

After visiting Gulatinget east of Eivindvik, we continued to Eivindvik to see the two old stone crosses there, also. We parked near the harbor and first walked up to Gulen church (east of the harbor) to see the first cross (Olavskorset). It's standing there with some help now after it broke into two when a nearby tree was cut down in 2012. From there, one can already see the other cross (Korset i Krossteigen), standing a bit up in Krossteigen some (maybe) 250 meters further north. An accordingly short walk brought us up there then. This second cross is interesting as it seems to show some celtic flair. To compensate for that, maybe, they added a smaller, Latin cross (by embossing it out of the main cross). Clearly worth a close look! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page >>>

Distanse:

On our way northwards through Gulen, we stopped by Gulatinget near Eivindvik. Following road 605 from Nordgulen (and road 57 there) we stopped once near Guløyna and explored the park (Tusenårsstaden) and the monument of Bård Breivik (Tingveggen). We also enjoyed a nice chat with one person there, who was very kind to explain some of the related history to us! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Paddling Liasundet from Hardbakke

Dato:
15.07.2021
Turtype:
Kajakkpadling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
19,1km

To round off our visit to Solund, we wished to explore this wonder world of islands also from the water. Thus, we had booked a double kayak from a place in Hardbakke that we took out to get around Liasundet for half a day. Leaving Hardbakke, we first paddled northwards on the eastern side of Liasundet, heading towards Råke and Råkeneset in particular, where we had stayed the past few nights. From Råkeneset, we then headed westwards and paddled between Hogneskjela and Hågøyna towards Færøyna, which we then surrounded in its north (in counterclockwise direction). On Litle Færøyna (in the south of Færøyna) we expected to find a place, where we could have a nice little break and indeed, after first also paddling almost all around this island (in its west), we found the indeed nice >>>

Pollatinden from Råkeneset

Dato:
14.07.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
8:30t
Distanse:
15,0km

The "big" hiking plan of these few days in Solund was to hike Pollatinden -- but to do this from Råkeneset, where we stayed overnight before and after. The matter of fact that Pollatinden, as well as quite a few of the other landmarks around it, exposes significant cliffs towards the west/northwest (and Råkeneset is exactly in the northwest of Pollatinden), turned this hiking plan into a non-neglegible challenge. When studying the map, it appeared that we could follow one of two routes of "attack": either from the north (via Råkefjellet and then up between Sandvikfjellet and Pollatinden) or from the south (via Storefjellet), while the "standard" approach to Pollatinden (as marked trail) is from the southeast, i.e., exactly from the other side of the mountain, >>>

Sperrefjellet and Nordsjøløypen on Ytre Sula

Dato:
13.07.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
10,3km

Staying in Solund for a few days, we also wished to explore Ytre Sula a little. We thus drove westwards from Hardbakke, using road 606. At the very end of this road, at Gjerdneset, we then took the ferry that brought us out to Ytre Sula (to Halldorsneset), crossing Ytre Steinsundet. After weighing several ideas against each other, we ended up with an attempt on Sperrefjellet (not far from Halldorsneset). About half a kilometer from Halldorsneset, we turned left at the T-junction, continuing (for only a short stretch) into the direction of Hjønnevåg. As soon as Sperrevatnet appeared on our left (in the south), we parked on the right, where also a sign marks the trail head for the beginning of this hike. The first section of this hike was then up to Ytre Heia (a little steep, but well-marked >>>

Urdanipa

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
1,8km

After our longer hike on Ytre Sula , we still had some appetite and thus decided to pay the north of Sula a short evening visit. Driving eastwards on road 606, passing by Hardbakke along the way, we surrounded Pollatinden and then Hagefjorden (both in their south), before coming close to Ulvegreina. North of that mountain, we then left road 606, turning left (into northern direction, towards Hersvikbygda and Leknessundet). While briefly considering to make a quick hike up to Husefjellet (in the southeast of Hersvikbygda), we then decided to "just" do Urdanipa (south of Leknessundet). The road towards Leknessundet gets actually quite near to Urdanipa, passing over a small saddle in the west of this little top. Finding a suitable place for parking the car, however, is not 100% easy as the road is very >>>

Storeggene, Rabben, Blåfjellet, and Arnipa

6:30t
Distanse:
13,9km

On our way from Bergen to Solund, we wanted to include one hike in Gulen. When checking the map for opportunities, reading also another trip report here on Peakbook , we got tempted to go a nice round in the east of Nordgulen. In order to get to the starting point (at Nordgulen), we drove northwards from Bergen, leaving road E39 at about Knarvik to continue to Mongstad from where we then took a ferry over to Sløvågen. From there, we continued along road 57 (into the direction of Rutledalen), driving first along Eidsfjorden and then further along Nordgulfjorden. Only several hundreds of meters from the northern end of Nordgulvågen, we left road 57 towards the east in order to park somewhere in the area of Tveit. After asking one of the locals, we conveniently parked right next to a playgroud in the northeast of Tveit. Already >>>
