On my Helldal hike from the previous weekend, I had followed the lowest bit of a trail that appeared to lead further up into the direction of Søre Gløvrevatnet. This time, we wanted to look deeper into this and find out! :-) We drove up Sanddalsringen and parked near the saddle, where Sædalssvingene leaves to the east. From there, we first walked along Helldalslia (almost all the way down to house #45) to connect to a proper trail head. In the last swing of Helldalslia, a path for pedestrians, who wish to connect Helldalslia with Hardangervegen further down in the valley, leaves to the east. We first followed this path a little too long, before going back a few steps and taking the right trail that leads through the forest (slightly upwards in northeastern direction). Once under the power line, >>>

I had taken my bike to Sanddalen (via Nesttun in the south of Bergen) and started my hike in southern direction on Sandbrekkevegen. This brought me across Hardangervegen to Ulsmåg on the other, southern side. My first hiking-goal was to walk across Oksla in the northwest of Dyngeland, following most of its long ridge. Walking up Ulsmågvegen, I watched out for a suitable place, where I could leave the road and start hiking in the terrain. At this southwestern end of the Oksla-ridge, its northwestern face is quite a bit steep, leaving it unclear, while studying the map up-front at home, whether an ascent from this side would be reasonable at all, or whether I would have to go all around to Stallavegen, first. Luckily, I did find a good spot to pass by Ulsmågvegen number 28 (some car rental company there) >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

To get to a suitable starting location for my Helldal hike today, I took my eBike and made it a (mixed) double round. Starting from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen, Bergen, I first biked along Sælenvatnet towards Nordåsvatnet. At Straume, I crossed over to the southern side, and from Søreide, I basically followed Steinsvikvegen in southeastern direction (mostly to get around Steinsvik and over to Nordås). Since my plan was to come by Skjoldabukta on my way to Nesttun, I left Steinsvikvegen near Dortledhaugen (towards the north), finding a connection that led me up to Nordåsvegen. Instead of following Nordåsvegen right away, however, I made a little extra-detour over Nordåshøgda before getting down to Nordåsvegen (a bit further north) again. I then followed Nordåsvegen until I turned >>>

Skåldalsnipa from Moldalia

Distanse:
8,8km

With a lovely late summer day ahead of us, we aimed at exploring a route leading up to / down from Skåldalsnipa that we had not yet hiked, i.e., the "diagonal" that runs (more or less) exactly north-south, connecting Hestabotn (below 450mosl in the north) and Skåldalsnipa (at about 600mosl in the south). To do so, we parked right next to Skåldalselva, where road Moldalia forks off from road Moldamyrane, and started our hike with an ascent towards the ridge that extends southwards from Skåldalsnipa. Starting along a forest road that extends towards the southeast from Moldalia (first kind of parallel to the long pipe installation on the steep western mountain slope of Skåldalsnipa), we located the trail head (after a short, wrong detour) at about 135mosl. From there, a good >>>

With just a little bit of time available, we simply headed for a short exploration of the forest north of Nordvik (south of Fanafjellet). After driving over Fanafjellet from Bergen, we parked along road 5158 just northeast of Nordvik. From there, we proceeded right into the forest (in western direction), coming by Klubnehaugen in its north only a short while later, before entering the valley of Moldstigen north of Nordvik. Instead of following the main trail up this valley, we ascended into the direction of Tverrfjellet, leaving the valley in western direction. After a bit of an ascent through the forest, we arrived first at a smaller side-top of Tverrfjellet in its southeast. Even though we already had some nice views from there (between the trees), we still made it across a little wet >>>

Søtefjellet from Hausdalen via Åsen

11,3km

With the promise of a nice afternoon ahead of us and knowing the days are long during the Norwegian summer, we headed for Hausdalen and a hike that we had thought about for quite a while (it had to wait for the right day!). The main idea was to start in Samdalen (a long way into Hausdalen) and then hike to Åsen first (a kind of smallish hill that nonetheless peaks out from its exposed position at the junction of Hausdalen and Brekkjedalen). From there, the idea was to attempt an ascent to Søtefjellet, from where we knew that it was straight-forward to hike down along the long ridge that leads in southwestern direction towards Ulvvatnet. After driving into Hausdalen from the very south of Kalandsvatnet (along E39 in the south of Bergen), we found a suitable place right next to the road, >>>

The later afternoon seemed to be OK for a short walk and so we drove into the direction of Fana. Before the street starts to lead up to Fanafjellet, we turned left near the church of Fana and continued into the direction of Kalandsvatnet. Once there, and instead of following the "main road" in the northwest of Kalandsvatnet, we followed the very narrow road in the southwest of Kalandsvatnet into the direction of Kismul. At Ytre Sandvika, we parked right next to the road and started our walk from there. We first walked a little bit "back" (in northern direction), following a side road that is a bit higher up than Kismulvegen. Near house #141, this road splits again and we continued along the upper part. Maybe only 100m further along this stretch, we turned left (onto >>>

With the goal to do some nice, medium-sized hike, we aimed at Austefjellet, starting from Osavatnet. We thus drove into the direction of Arna (from Bergen), leaving the main road shortly before coming close to Haukelandsvatnet. Driving first towards Unneland, we then continued along Gullfjellsvegen to get up to the parking place in the north of Osavatnet. Walking first along Gullfjellsvegen further eastwards, we came to the place in the west of Taushaugen, where the roads split (with the "main road", Gullfjellsvegen, making a turn to the left, while a minor road continues straight-ahead, into the direction of Kurlatjørna). Following this minor road, we soon after had passed by Kurlatjørna (on our right, south of us), coming to the end of this road (it's continuing behind a closed >>>

Nice evening walk around Småvatnet

5,8km

With still some nice light to go, we decided to use the evening for a quick excursion into our (extended) neighborhood. After driving a bit towards the west of Bergen, we left the main road before getting all the way to Sotrabroen and continued along Alvøveien until we came close to Småvatnet. After parking near the north end of Småvatnet, we started our hike around this lake in clockwise direction. We first followed a minor forest road in northeastern direction, which eventually would have brought us to the soccer fields in the north of Småvatnet. Before getting close to them, however, we turned right (and in southern direction), ascending to the little cliff that extends towards the south from the soccer fields. Once up there, we then continued along minor trails to stay close to >>>

Evening walk to Mindebakken

4,0km

To get a bit of fresh air after another day of home office, we drove to the parking at Øvre Kråkenes at the southern end of Løvstien and started from there. Before continuing into the direction of Løvstien, we first made a quick detour to what possibly is called Casperkollen, on the southern side of the parking place. After quickly walking up and down this little height, we crossed over the road and continued "in parallel" to Løvstien. After crossing over Lerkhaugen, we crossed Løvstien and made a quick ascent to Lisahaugen, also. On the other, northeastern side of Lisahaugen, we followed the ridge east of Løvstien upwards until we crossed Løvstien once again to get closer to Mindebakken at Litla Langafjellet. There, we then followed a trail that for the first 40 height >>>
