Lyderhorn

Dato:
24.05.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
2,9km

We had something like two hours available and thus aimed at "just" Lyderhorn in the neighborhood. Always nice to hike up and down this little mountain with nonetheless impressive views! :-) 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 Lyderhorn and also web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Lyderhorn and Ørnafjellet .

Vallaheiane via Larsaberget from Tranevatnet

Dato:
11.05.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
40,2km

The main idea was to get some fresh air. I thus took the bike and started with the idea to explore Vallaheiane from Tranevatnet. I first biked south and crossed the partially closed off bridge at Straume. I then continued towards Steinsvik, where I left the "main road" to take a look at Ospåsen, a bit further south. The matter of fact that there's also a golf course in this area does not make getting around easier. Back on my bike, I continued, crossing over Flyplassvegen, to the sports arena next to Grimseidvegen. After a short bio-break at Lagunen, I continued around Apeltunvatnet, then to Iglavatnet, and further to Tranevatnet. I then parked my bike along the gravel road on the south side of Tranevatnet to start my exploration on foot from there. I first found a good way >>>

Herlandsfjellet via Geitaryggen

Dato:
04.05.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:15t
Distanse:
7,9km

I wished to explore a new ascent route to Herlandsfjellet, as well as a new descent route, also. I drove eastwards out of Bergen to connect with E16 at Indre Arna. Right next to the large bridge to Osterøy, I parked the car and started my hike. After only walking a few meters in westerly direction, I passed a few houses at Geila in order to find a connection to Geitaryggen. Indeed, it was well possible and quite enjoyable to cross over to Tverrelva, basically following the traverse where also a water pipe is laid for the houses at Geila. Quickly, I had made it to Tverrelva and crossing over it was also no problem at all. In the southwest of Tverrelva, I then started my ascent to Geitaryggen "for real" (no trail, but very well possible to ascend via this ridge -- yes, it's a >>>

Knappen

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
4,4km

With only little time at our hands (or feet?), we did only a quick excursion to nearby Knappen. Nice! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Heihillerhornet, Kjerringafjellet, and Ottanosi

Dato:
26.04.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
10,7km

We expected nice weather and thus planned for a nice hike! :-) We took the ferry from Hatvik near Os in the south of Bergen to Venjaneset in Fusa. From there, we first drove to Eikelandsosen and then to Holdhus, where we left road 48 to get up to the parking place at Heihillervegen (one pays some road fee for driving up there: NOK 75 plus about the same amount "on top" for "lagring og oppslag" as well as for "fakturagebyr"). Our first goal was to hike up to Heihillerhornet and so we "retreated" from the parking place a short stretch along the road to the place, where the trail starts (there's a sign, also). After first finding the trail head, we still managed to get off the trail within only meters from the road! :-) Instead of heading further eastwards, >>>

Utapåeggi from Indre Songstad, down Innapåeggi

Dato:
18.04.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
8,1km

We expected some nice weather and thus thought that we could do a short hike, exploring a new way up to Utapåeggi (via Indre Songstad). We thus headed east from Bergen in order to get to road E16, which would bring us to our starting point near Sørfjorden. Instead of sunshine, however, we drove through some light rain on our way there, questioning our weather information! :-) Near Romslo, we left road E16 and parked right next to Romslo, expecting that we would come down there later. To get to Indre Songstad, where we wanted to start the ascent to Utepåeggi, we first needed to walk a bit along Romslovegen (the old road, parallel to E16). Just before coming to Indre Songstad, however, we thought that we could already start our ascent (quite a bit steep there, however). Our first goal >>>

To Bergen via Løvstakken

Dato:
16.04.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
10,1km

Given a quite nice day, we decided to walk to Bergen (via Løvstakken). We first walked up to Orrtuvatnet, before then continuing (further up) to Lyshovden. Next, we wished to get up to Gullsteinen and we did so via Nils Langhelles vei (using a trail that starts basically where the last house stands at Nils Langhelles vei). From Gullsteinen, we then followed the main trail up to Løvstakken. To continue further to Bergen, we aimed at Juvdalen. The descent to Løvstien is quite steep, though. Altogether a nice option to get to Bergen! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Nubbevatnet (twice) via Nattlandsfjellet

Dato:
12.04.2025
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
31,3km

We had agreed to make a short hike together, from Nattlandsfjellet to Nubbevatnet. To get there, we took our bikes, first along Nordåsvatnet, then via Paradis up to Nattlandsfjellet. From the parking strip south of Sveane, we then hiked up (via Sveane) and over the long ridge into the direction of Orrehaugane, before then crossing over to Nubbevatnet. At Baunehytten, on the north end of Nubbevatnet, we then enjoyed a nice little break. After enjoying the sun a little, we then walked back towards Ramsdalen and Nattlandsfjellet, following the main route (gravel road southwards, also connecting to Helgeseter). Once back at the parking at Nordre Nattlandsfjellet, we learned that the keys to unlock two of our bike locks weren't with us as expected. After a bit of searching, we thought that >>>

Sauafjellet via Heiane from Rolsvåg

Dato:
05.04.2025
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:45t
Distanse:
13,2km

The idea was to visit Sauafjellet (from Rolsvåg). We parked near Vågasanden, right next to Solbjørgsvegen. The plan was to first hike to Heiane, in the southeast of Sauafjellet, before then connecting to the northeastern ridge of Sauafjellet. On the map, it had looked promising to start near Furneset (off trail) and then hike northwards up to Heiane. After getting around house 759 (and a dog that seemed moderately excited), we then made quick and nice progress upwards. Almost straight northwards, we soon found ourselves on Heiane, enjoying views already in all directions. As we had remembered from last time, a bit of careful navigation is recommended north of Heiane (the terrain is a bit rugged and several small lakes are around there, too). We still found a good traverse without >>>

Round around Vinddalsvatnet

Dato:
30.03.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,7km

We started in Søfteland, heading for Gamlevegen. Our first goal was to have a look a this old stone bridge (gamle Torve bro), which -- apparently -- once was part of the old Postal route to Stavanger. This bridge seems to be in a pretty bad condition, hold together by some improvised support structure, these days. We then continued further southwards (following, if not mistaken, the former Postal route). After passing by Gåsakilen (on its western side), we left the "main route" to include Galtåsen "on the way". Since we approached it from the North, this ascent was a bit steep at times (but fully doable). From Galtåsen, we then continued in southwestern direction, eventually "ending up" on a nice forest road. But instead of stepping out and onto Byvegen, >>>
