Kanadaskogen and Straumsfjellet

Dato:
05.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,8km

We started from Varden with no particular plan (except for getting some fresh air). We headed towards Kanadaskogen, crossing over the soccer fields north of Varden. We first followed some beaten paths between the houses until we reached Hesjaholtet. There, we eventually left streets and houses and entered the forest (Kanadaskogen). We started with some smaller heights north of Hesjaholtet, including some nice views down to Bjørndalsvatnet. After crossing some further (small) heights, we descended down to the place in the very north of Bjørndalsvatnet, where previously some building was standing (a mill?). From there, we followed a trail towards the west along the lake (in its north). This way, we rounded the southern ridge of Træshovden near the lake and then chose a gently ascending >>>

Ørnafjellet, Skjenafjellet, and Lyderhorn

Dato:
01.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
6,7km

Even though the weather was not as nice as during many of the days before, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air. Since time was also limited, we decided to make a short hike on Lyderhorn. We started from the north of Gravdal, where also the street up to Kvarven leaves. Instead of starting with Kvarven, however, we decided to include Ørnafjellet (via Mördarbakka), first. To do so, we started with the stairs that lead upwards from the southern end of the industrial area at the northwestern end of Gravdal. This brings one onto a nice trail that leads through the forest in southern direction to a small soccer field (north of Øvrebø). Directly from this playing field, then in western direction and steeply upwards, you can find the trail up to Ørnafjellet. Before actually getting >>>

Skarsnuten, Vardafjellet, Grytefjellet, and Belgjaråsen

Dato:

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
14,8km

After a meeting at Solstrand Bad & Hotel, we decided to do a hike in nearby Fuse before heading back to Bergen. From Hattvik, we thus took the ferry over to Venjaneset and drove from there further along road 552 towards Eikelandsosen. There we took to the left (onto road 48 and into the direction of Samnanger) and continued on it for a few kilometers (until we had come through Moshovdatunnelen). Right after the tunnel, we turned right (onto Hafskorvegen) and parked soon after (very near to the bridge that we had just passed over after the tunnel). Our first hiking goal was Skarsnuten, a little top "in the valley", south of Hafskorvatnet. It was nice that we could see the top from the very start of the hike, also. We first followed the little road that leads up to Hafskorvatnet, >>>

Knappen

Dato:
22.04.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,6km

We started from Varden, crossing over Bjørgeveien near Sandeidet Terminal, and taking up the stairs to Vassteigen. We then took the trail that starts north of Knappatjørna and leads (more or less) directly up to Knappen (not including Eldtona, this time). At Knappen, we this time explored the southern side (towards Hesthaugen) and found an interesting spot there with a nice view towards the west (and over Maggevika). We then returned via Knappatjørna, where we enjoyed nice spring weather for a while, to Varden. Good to have Knappen nearby, when time is short, and there's still a wish to get some fresh air! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen .

Ulriken from Haukeland Hospital (stone steps up)

Dato:
20.04.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,1km

We started from a bus stop at Haukeland University Hospital and first walked up the street to the lower station of the cable car that goes up to the top of Ulriken. Instead of taking the cable car, however, we followed a trail that leads up to Montana (and from there further towards Ulriken etc.). Once above the Montana Vandrerhjem, we followed the gravel road Johan Blytts vei, which ascends diagonally in southeastern direction, before it crosses a little stream. From there, it's getting steeper and shortly after, a renewed path turns left (from there then steeply upwards in northeastern direction). Before eventually departing from the gravel road (near Hellerane), the path gets once again very near to it (at about 325mosl). From there onward, it then goes steeply upwards (through Lægdebotn >>>

Fløyen from Bergen harbor

Dato:
19.04.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,0km

With guests, just arrived from Austria, we exploited the nice weather and showed Bergen from above (from Fløyen). Up by feet, down by Fløybanen. :-) Not a big hike (and definitely not alone), but clearly a nice day and always nice to look down onto Bergen from the top station of Fløybanen! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Short hike over Vardafjellet

Dato:
12.04.2019
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
1,4km

After a meeting at Solstrand, I was heading to another meeting in Bergen. Given the beautiful day and half an hour to spare, I decided to include a quick walk over one of the minor peaks near Osøyro: Vardafjellet. I drove up to Øvre Varåsen and found a place to park for half an hour. My plan was then to continue to Varåsgrenda and to take a trail from there (as I had seen it on the map). Walking north on Øvre Varåsen, however, I turned left one street too early. Soon, I understood that this would not lead to the trail, but since I thought that ascending to Vardafjellet should not be too difficult, even without a trail, I continued and indeed found a reasonable opportunity at the back of house 48 (southwest of it). Within a few minutes, I had connected to the trail and then followed >>>

Vossavardane via Innapåeggi and Utapåegga

Dato:
07.04.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:45t
Distanse:
9,1km

We parked near Nedre Romslo at Romslovegen (very near to the E16). Our goal was to reach the ridge of Innapåeggi and then to follow it upwards into the direction of Gullfjellet. At house 243, shortly before crossing over E16, we left Romslovegen and started to ascend towards the ridge. First, we used a path until we came close to the forest. From there on, it was mostly through the forest and towards the ridge. This part was steep and the underground was partly unstable. It is highly recommended to plan carefully and to not follow this track without having good shoes. Also, it was useful to use our hands every now and then, before reaching the ridge. Clearly, this first part of our hike required a portion of hiking experience! Once on the ridge, however, the hike turned into a wonderful >>>

Livarden

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
9,3km

We started from the small parking place at Øvre Totland and headed right towards the long ridge of Totlandsfjellet. Enjoying lovely spring weather, we ascended swiftly towards the top of Totlandsfjellet. The next goal was then to cross over to Livarden. When getting over from Totlandsfjellet to Livarden near Seterhaugen, we were positively surprised that the terrain was not overly wet (even though we still saw a little bit of snow there). From Karvestølen it was then only a few minutes to ascent to Livarden via Nordvardsbrekkene. At Livarden, we enjoyed a short break, before heading back. Instead of hiking back the same path, however, we followed the ridge towards Ulvursfjellet (the main path up and down Livarden). Instead of staying on the higher ridge (with the main path), we followed >>>

Via Storaskjenet to Sangoltshornet

Dato:
17.03.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:15t
Distanse:
12,7km

I took the car to Sotra and there to Sund kommune (on road 555 first). Near Hammarsland, I turned left (towards Klokkarvik), following road 198 for a bit. Near the northern-most point of Dommedalsvatnet, I parked and started my hike from there. I first headed towards Ormadalen and up through it (mostly without any trail). A little higher up there, I then connected to the main path towards Storaskjenet. Shortly later, I found myself on Storaskjenet: a substantial cliff (towards the west). After enjoying the views from there (and taking some photos), I continued in southern direction along the ridge. The path, which the map shows, is not easy to find and I ended up improvising most of the "way" along this ridge (no problem). Near Tveitahøgda, I reconnected to the path, which >>>
