Tunesfjellet and Skåldalsfjellet

Dato:
21.05.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
12,2km

One could say that this hike is a logical continuation of our small research project Gullfjellet from the north, Sørfjorden . :-) We drove from Bergen to Arna and then through the tunnel under Ådnanipa (E16), before taking the very first exit ("Takvam") and turning back along the old road (Tunesvegen) into the direction of Tunes. At Tunestveit, only a few meters from the E16-exit, we parked along the road. We then crossed under E16 (right where it comes out of the tunnel under Ådnanipa, crossing over Tveitaelva there) and continued on an old forest road into the direction of Åsen. All the terrain is very steep there and most parts will not provide any opportunity to continue all the way up. Our map study, however, had suggested that ascending to Åsen on the very eastern side >>>

Gravdalsfjellet from Betanien

Dato:
18.05.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,7km

To get some fresh air, we decided to make a short hike up Gravdalsfjellet. We started at Betanien near Vestlund in Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, and head first northwards before then turning left (westwards) into the direction of Gravdalsfjellet. Right after passing by Brattheim, we took the stairs up into the direction of Viggohytten. As soon as we came out on top, however, we made a short detour to visit Kjerringen på Nipen, from where one can enjoy excellent views over Fyllingsdalen. We then headed back to the trail and up to Viggohytten before we continued further upwards to visit near Gravdalsfjellet. From there, we took another trail down (in the west of Gravdalsfjellet. After this short detour, we connected back with the trail that we had taken up near Brattheim. From there, it was >>>

Herlandsfjellet from Herland

Dato:
10.05.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:45t
Distanse:
11,0km

For a longer time already, we had the idea to try Herlandsfjellet from its northern side. When studying the available maps, it's not so obvious, how this should be done (as no trails are to be seen from the north). After some investigation, we were left with two choices that we deemed possible: going up from Ytre Songstad (along a narrow ridge that is very steep on either side) or going up from Herland, where the bridge to Osterøy is anchored (a less pronounced while also steep ridge). Eventually, looking at satellite images suggested that the eastern variant (from Ytre Songstad) would be through a dense looking forest, while the western variant (from Herland) appeared to have less dense standing trees. Since we were unsure how difficult it would be to ascend through a relatively dense >>>

Hamrefjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

Between two visits of shops, we wished to get some fresh air. Since we were close already, we decided to go a quick round around Hamrefjellet. Since we wished to start with Tornetfjellet, we drove into the direction of Smørås (just to find out that parking is non-trivial there -- clearly, those who live there do not like hikers to park up there). We thus parked quite a bit longer down along Smøråsvegen and walked back up from there. We then ascended Torneberget from Smøråsvegen (only a few meters up), before continuing along a nice trail that stretches over the heights into southern direction (towards Hamrefjellet). Passing by Myrasmettet, we ascended Vardane (also only a few meters up). We next thought to take a look at Vallastølen. Instead of walking "down" to Militærvegen, >>>

Høgstefjellet and Veten i Åsane

Dato:
25.04.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
9,2km

With a nice day ahead of us (but limited time), we decided to try a hike that we had thought about for a longer time already: combining Høgstefjellet and Veten i Åsane -- a plan not without challenges (Norgeskart does not show any trail that would connect the saddle between Høgstefjellet and Tellevikafjellet and Postvegen in the valley)! In order to start with Høgstefjellet, we parked along Dalavegen on the western side of Langavatnet. The idea was to ascend towards the ridge that leads up to Varden (in the south of Høgstefjellet). Within a few minutes, we had come to a nice ridge (above Linosa), ascending steeply from its eastern side. We knew that a bit further westwards a trail was marked on the map, but we thought that we could equally well ascend along the ridge as long as this >>>

Wild Golta

Dato:
13.04.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,1km

The weather forecast was "interesting": 3 or 4 degrees Celsius and strong winds from the north (with gale warnings nearby). Sounds like a nice day for another trip to the outer islands! :-) This time, we chose Golta (south of Telavåg and west of Glesvær), which is wild and nice! We parked at the parking lot near the inner end of Vogga and started our short hike from there. The route is trivial to find and also not very long. Within a few minutes one gets out to the wild rocks near the North Atlantic. And clearly we weren't disappointed (again): very impressive, when the wind works the sea so hard! We walked for a longer while around the rocks and enjoyed the atmosphere, rounding Lutavika and then also Midtvika, before heading back. Even though a shorter trip, it's definitely >>>

Short round over Gullsteinen

Dato:
04.04.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,9km

With a little bit of time left, we decided to make a short detour across Gullsteinen. We parked along Nils Langhelles vei and walked up one of its steep side roads first. Near house #22, we had come to the end of this side road. Fortunately, it was possible to ascend up towards the next side road. From there, where this other side road makes a sharp turn to the south, it was then only a few meters, before a trail leaves to the left. Stepping up through the forest there, we first ascended a micro-hill south of Strutsefarmen. From there, we turned back to the trail, which leads up to the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken. Instead of following the trail, however, we decided to step up "through the wild" (and in the not all-too-deep snow). Lovely, to get out into some >>>

Sælskletten and Sælsfjellet on Tofterøy

Dato:
28.03.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,5km

Another Saturday with a promise of cold but nice weather invited us to plan another hike near the North Atlantic, making this the third in a row, after our nice hike to Brotavarden from Telavåg and our excursion to Ternneset from Kausland . This time, our goal was to hike a little round on Tofterøy, far in the southwest of Sotra. After following road 555 southwards, we turned right (onto road 200 towards Tofterøy) and passed over the narrow bridge (Tofterøybrua), after first havig waited for two horses to finish their (partially stressed) passage over the bridge. :-) On Tofterøy, we then followed the road until we came close to Trælevika. There, just north of Storavatnet, we parked and started our hike. The first goal of our hike was Sælskletten in the southeast of where we had parked. In order to find the needed trailhead, we had to walk back along >>>

Ternneset from Kausland

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
11,8km

Once again, we aimed at using a nice weekend day for getting some fresh air. Since we will had fond memories of our recent hike to Brotavarden from Telavåg , we decided to once again aim for the outer islands. This time, we planned for a hike from Kausland, just a bit north of Glesvær. The idea was to connect to Goltasundet (from the east) and then hike out towards the North Altantic along it's northern shore. On Sotra, we headed towards Glesvær. Near Kausland, we then left Glesnesvegen to the right (west), before parking only a few hundreds of meters down this little side road. From there, we followed a very clear trail (more like a gravel road in the beginning), leading us westwards. Soon after, we approached Goltatjørna from its north. We first tried to round it on a "tight route", but soon understood >>>

Brotavarden from Telavåg

Dato:
14.03.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
11,8km

We really needed some fresh air (these times, you know) and since we were not really prepared for lots of snow and so, we decided to give the outer islands another try. After some consideration, Brotavarden was chosen as the hiking goal (with a start-point near Telavåg). We parked a few hundreds of meters before coming to Telavåg, near some soccer fields in the southeast of Telavåg. Just on the other side, we located the trail head and headed at once for our first intermediate goal, Nipa (in the east of Telavåg). Even though it's only a few meters up to the "top" of this cliff, one still has some nice views from there! Since winds were strong and temperatures were rather low, we did not stay there for any longer time, but continued (into the direction Brotavarden) immediately. >>>
