Visiting Myrdal Våpenlager and Skavdalsfjellet

Dato:
15.05.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
7,9km

With the weather being forecasted as "grayish", the plan was to do something below the higher tops. Ever since we had visited Bautasteinen in the north of Krokvatnet near the top of Livarden , which made us read up on Johannes Dyngeland and related history, we had a little plan "on the shelf" to "one day" go and search for this place in Langedalen, where they apparently had hidden weapons while resisting the NS-occupation of Norway. We started in Nedre Dyngeland, where it is not really easy to find an appropriate parking spot. After passing by Grøvlet in the north of Dyngelandsvatnet, we approached the saddle in the north of Fjellet (marked with Fjellsenden on the map) on something that could be called a minor trail. Once on the saddle, we decided to also include a short detour via Fjellet, stepping up to its "top" >>>

After starting our day with some scepticism regarding the expected weather, we then decided to still head for a nearby hike. Double-checking the weather prediction map suggested that the south of Bergen may see somewhat better wheater. We thus aimed at a hike there, not too far from Bergen, and since we had not been on Storekvitefjellet, we decided to give it a try. :-) After first driving to Fana, we then crossed Fanafjellet von Fanafjellsvegen until we came close to Nordvika on the southern side of Fanafjellet. There we parked next to the road and started our hike towards Stonghaugen, first. The southwestern side of Stonghaugen is a bit steep, but not really any problem to get up to. Already a bit up there, we enjoyed our first nice views back to Nordvika. From Stonghaugen, it then >>>

Lyderhorn via Lia

Dato:
17.04.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
3,9km

We wished to use the very nice morning for a short hike and decided to try a new ascent to Lyderhorn (via Lia). We parked next to Lyderhornsveien, not far in the southwest of the big highway cross (basically at the saddle in the east of Skarpafjellet). From there, we first walked along Lyderhornsveien (in northeastern direction and parallel to the highway to Bergen) until we came to the lower ends of Lia, i.e., the quite steep eastern side of Lyderhorn (between the top of Lyderhorn and Liavatnet on the other side of the highway). On the map, it had looked as if it should be possible to ascend up to Lyderhorn via Lia, starting in northwestern direction first (just west of a little stream that is marked on the map) until one arrives at the a little less steep slopes that connect the top of >>>

Tellevikafjellet and Nordgardsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
9,7km

With the perspective of a nice winter day ahead of us, we decided to try something new (again). According to some exchange with friends not long ago, we planned to walk up Tellevikafjellet from the north, i.e., from Tellevik. We took the car from Bergen towards the north (along E39), following the main road towards Norhordlandsbrua. At the last exit before the bridge, where one can leave towards Hordvik (in the northeast) or Salhus (in the southwest), we left E39 and parked basically at the first convenient opportunity to do so, right next to the roundabout underneath the main road. From there, we then followed a simple forest road, which extends parallel to E39 on its northeastern side, until we came to a passage under E39 that we used to get to the other side (Tellevikafjellet is on the >>>

Knappen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,4km

With little time available, we "just" made a quick excursion to Knappen. After walking down from Varden (to Bjørgeveien), we stepped upwards first on Sandeidbrotet (in the south of Gjeddevatnet). Where Sandeidbrotet turns left (eastwards), we continued on the nice trail that extends into the direction of Bjørgelien. Instead of just following this trail (and the one the forks off towards Knappen from it somewhere "half-way" towards Bjørgelien) all the way up, we experimented a little with the (a bit steep) terrain, ascending on something that only with the greatest optimism can be called a trail (it did not matter, though, and all of that was short and quick anyway). Once on the ridge, we just crossed it (in nice winter weather) towards Eldtona and Knappen. After >>>

Crossing Borga from/to Borgo

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,5km

Since it had been a while, since we last were on Borga, we thought that we could pay this nice mountain near Arna another visit. We left Bergen towards the East, passing by Grimevatnet along the way. Near Haukeland, we turned left from Hardangervegen, heading into Langedalen. At Borgo, we parked next to the road and started our hike. From the road we had already double-checked that ascending along the southern (steep) ridge of Borga (south of Kvitnosa) appeared possible (while still a bit challenging). Keeping a little east of the actual ridge, we ascended more or less directly up through some half-open forest. Avoiding cliffs, this way, we managed to straight-forwardly ascend towards Kvitenosa, stepping up over mostly grass in between generously spaced trees. This ascent is indeed quite >>>

Crossing Midtfjellet and Lørdagsknausen

Dato:
01.04.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
14,6km

The idea was to cross Midtfjellet, between Fløyen and Rundemanen, from north to south. We took a bus to Skuteviken and walked up towards Mulen from there. Instead of stepping up to the dam on the north side of the valley, where the main route is, we went up on the Breistølen side, passing by the little water reservoir at Mulen on its southern side. Once on its eastern side, in the lower parts of Skredderdalen, we crossed the little stream and connected with the main route. Following this main path upwards (it's steep there, but a common trail, nonetheless), we came to Nedrediket and "road" Byfjellene there. Crossing the little dam on the northwestern side of Nedrediket, we continued our way upwards until we were right next to the northern end of Nordre Midtfjellet. To get >>>

A round west of Arna, including Stikka

Dato:

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

With the perspective of a half-dry, half-wet day ahead of us, we decided for another hike not too far from home. This time, our goal was to explore the hills in the west of Arna and Arnavågen. We thus left Bergen towards the east, aiming for Mjeldheimskleiva, where we parked just above Kleivadalen (in the west, a bit above Arna). We left the road basically where it crosses the little stream that comes down there from the northwest (and where the power line crosses the street, also). After some only 50 meters parallel to the stream, we started our (short) ascent to Vårheia (more or less directly in northern direction). On our way up there, we deviated a little from the trail and ascended across the southern ridge of Vårheia instead (also coming by a little cabin that can be found in >>>

Hetlebakksåta and Erviknipa from Breistein

Dato:
28.02.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,2km

We somehow thought that it may be worthwhile to explore the ridge in the south of Erviknipa, southeast of Hetlebakksåta. We drove to Breistein via Åsane and parked quite a bit south on Breisteinvegen. According to our plan to hike a round, we first walked northwards (towards Nygård) to find an opportunity for ascending to Hetlebakksåta. When looking at the map before leaving, we had estimated that it should be possible to ascend towards Fosseskaret there and indeed this is well possible from Nygård (the "trails" up there are not very clear, but possible to find and certainly also possible to ascend, just a bit steep). At about 130mosl, we entered the little valley that comes down from Fosseskaret, right where there is a little waterfall down towards Breistein. At Fosseskaret, >>>

Lerkhaugen, Lisahaugen, and Gullsteinen

Dato:
21.02.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,1km

With only a bit of time available, we headed for a short hike in the neighborhood. To include at least one spot of (limited) interest, we decided to aim for Lisahaugen near Langegården in the northeast of Kråkenes. We parked near the southern end of Løvstien (at Øvre Kråkenes) and ascended to Lerkhaugen, first. Thereafter, we crossed Løvstien and continued to Lisahaugen (from its south). Crossing Lisahaugen south-to-north, we came back to Løvstien (for a moment), before changing course, again, and then aiming at Langatjørna in the west of Mindebakken. This ascent from Løvstien is a bit steep, but well possible and actually quite nice through th forest there. North of Langatjørna we then turned around, heading back via Gullsteinen. South of Gullstølen, we descended along some >>>
