Fanafjellet from Rød

Dato:
07.09.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,8km

We had a bit of time and thinking, that even a small hike nearby could be nice, we headed for Fana and Fanafjellet (south of Bergen). At Fana, we then turned right and followed road #546 (in the direction to Krokeide, where the ferry to Austevoll leaves). The plan was to start from Rød and to find a trail up to Fanafjellet that four years earlier was the end of another hike near Krokeide . We thus parked near Rødshella and walked towards the place, where we assumed that the trail would come down. Passing by house #424 instead of house #422, we missed this trail-head by a few meters. Following some minor path through the forest, then, and following the rather step mountain-side there in southern direction, we ended up in the west of Rødsaksla instead. At about 80mosl, we first enjoyed a nice view over Fanafjorden, >>>

Drangsfjellet with Høgelikampen

Turlengde:

Distanse:
6,6km

We left Bergen towards the south, passing by Fana and driving over Fanafjellet (road #5158). Near Sørstraumen, where road #5156 leaves to the left (in eastern direction), leading to Lyseklosteret before continuing towards Ulven, we turned right, following along the coast of Seiasundet. South of Søvik, where the road leads away from the sea, we then took a sharp turn to the right (towards Drange). Before getting to Drange (and just before getting to Langavatnet), we parked the car right next to the road. Instead of starting our hike into the forest from there, however, we first followed the road a bit further (to Indre Drange, actually). There, we found a good place to leave the road and start our first ascent (up to Fjærhovda). While it was not difficult to find our way up there, one >>>

Gløvrebu in Øygarden

Dato:
14.07.2019
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,6km

Driving from Bergen to Sotra, we turned north after Kolltveittunnelen, continuing on road 561 towards Øygarden. Driving almost all the way out (to Hellesøy), we came to Seløyna. While the road is getting really narrow there, one cannot overlook Hjelme Kyrkje, when passing by. Only meters later, right next to the rather big graveyard, we parked the car and started to follow a nice trail into the direction of Stakksvika. Close to the sea, the trail splits with the southern route being a bit more direct to Gløvrebu. Still, the slightly longer route (towards Stakksvika first) is very nice, offering views to and beyond Bobbeskjeret. From there, it's then towards the south and to Gløvrebu. While the whole area there is nice to see, the main sight is a major cut through the rock near the >>>

Skogsøyna on a nice summer Sunday!

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,5km

Since we were in Øygarden already, we decided to also pay a visit to Skogsøyna, which always is worth a little hike! To get there, we found road 228 towards Herdleværet. On Skogsøyna, just before crossing the bridge to Herdleværet, we parked the car and started to hike towards the west, following the northern rim of Skogsøyna. We were again positively impressed about work that was done recently to further improve this trail, making it easier to avoid wet and/or muddy shoes. Nice! :-) At the outer tip of Skogsøyna, we reached our goal for this day, Skoysøytua (some 50m above sea level and with nice views over the open Atlantic!). We explored the cliffs and watched the energetic ocean rumble against the rocks of Skogsøytua. We also rounded the cliffs in order to get further down >>>

Hjortåsen on Strøno

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,4km

We took the car to the south of Bergen, driving then road 160 from Ulven to Strøno. After crossing the narrow bridge to Strøno and driving up just a little to the T-junction, where the streets to Nordstrøno/Sørstrøno split, we turned right (towards Nordstrøno). Only a couple of meters before getting close to the first houses on the north-side of the island, we stopped next to the road and started hiking, following a simple forest road that starts from the street there in southwestern direction. At about 80mosl, where the forest road ends, we then continued on a well-visible path (further up in southern direction). At about 140mosl, we spotted Såta nearby (in northeastern direction) and thought that we may have a nice view from up there. It took only a few minutes to get over (no >>>

Gulltjørna via Trengereidhotten from Risnes

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:45t
Distanse:
8,3km

We left Bergen in eastern direction on E16 (into the direction of Voss), leaving the main road just before Romslo, changing to the old road that brings one through Romslo to Risnes. We found a suitable place to park in Risnes and started our hike from there. Our first goal was Krånuken, to get up onto the heights north of Gullfjellet. For years, already, I had looked at this idea of ascending Trengereidhotten from the north, but hesitated (now I know that this was for good reasons!). This time, we finally decided to give it an attempt. We chose Sverinden, leading up to Krånuken, as the line and started from the street, where it passes under a short tunnel at the northern end of Sverinden. Immediately, our expectations were confirmed: the ascent over the ridge of Sverinden is very steep, >>>

We thought about paying the open sea a visit, this evening. Leaving Bergen towards Sotra, we turned north right after Kolltveittunnelen, continuing on road 561 towards Øygarden. Driving almost all the way out (to Hellesøy), we came to Seløyna. While the road is getting really narrow there, one cannot overlook Hjelme Kyrkje, when passing by.

Rhododendron watching in Arboretet på Milde

Dato:

Turlengde:

Distanse:
4,1km

We had a bit of extra time and thought that visiting Arboretet på Milde and seeing some blossoming Rhododendra would be nice. :-) We parked at Grønneviken parking (northwest of Arboretet) and started with a nice walk into Arboretet from the northwest. Before getting into the middle of it, we turned left onto a small trail that passes by Mørkevatnet (in its south) with some nice views. From there, we continued (in northern direction) to see the collection of Rhododendra that is placed into the forest there. And sure enough we were not disappointed, being overwhelmed by loads of bright colors! After enjoying this part of Arboretet for a good while, we returned towards its middle (Blondehuset) and from there we continued further into the south of Arboretet, into the direction of the (still >>>

Lyngbønipa from Lyngbø (and back via Skitnetjørna)

Dato:
26.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:15t
Distanse:
3,7km

We took the car to Lyngbø, driving up Nipedalen a little and then parking near Nipedalen 37. From there, we first walked for a few meters along a side road (to the northeast), also called Nipedalen. Right before house 74, a narrow opening is found (in southeastern direction), which leads to the trail head on the other side of the houses. Once there, it's bascially up (in southern direction) through a small, steep valley that leads up to Nipetjørna. It's about 200hm up to the lake. In order to get to Lyngbønipa, one turns right at the lake, finding another (small) trail (again to the right, now in northern direction) very soon after. This trail then leads to Lyngbønipa (with nice views!). To get back down, we took another trail that leads down from Lyngbønipa on its southern side >>>

Nice to have guests, who wish to go hiking in the mountains near Bergen! :-) The original plan was to do this on Saturday, but since the weather forecast was much better on Friday afternoon, we arranged for this timeplan instead. We left Bergen with the car into the direction of Os (on E39). After coming by Kalandsvatnet, we turned left at about Kalandseidet to enter the relatively narrow road into Hausdalen. Driving Hausdalen all the way in, we arrived at the parking place near the beginning of Brekkedalen (at the very end of the road through Hausdalen). From there, we first walked along the gravel road into Brekkedalen (in eastern direction). We came by Sandane (a nice spot in Brekkedalen!) and also took the bridge over Tverrelva, coming down from the left/north, still continuing through >>>
