Short excursion into Kanadaskogen (from Fyllingsdalen)

Quick winter excursion into Kanadaskogen from Fyllingsdalen. Since the weather was beautiful and the snow invited for an excursion (and there was a bit of time), I used the opportunity to do a quick excursion into the vicinity of Nipetjørna. Up and down in short time, but greatly enjoyed! :-)

Eikelifjellet

- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 2:00t
- Distanse:
- 2,5km
We started from the parking place at the end of Spelhaugen (near the Kindergarden) and took the clearly less used path into northern direction (a bit to the right from the main track up to Tennebekktjørna, also called Mørkebotn). After a short while, the hiking path then leaves the valley towards the right and (steeply) upwards. Before getting to the wet flat spot there, we first explored a little top south of it (mostly to check out the view over Spelhaugen). We then turned around, again into northern direction, got down to the wet flat, crossed it, and started our ascent to Eikelifjellet (this all isn't much of a hike, but it's very nice to go there, not at the least because Eikelifellet really is very steep at this side and one follows a little path up right next to impressive cliff >>>
Løvstakken from Fjøsanger

- Turtype:
- Fjelltur
- Turlengde:
- 2:30t
- Distanse:
- 5,9km
We parked near the supermarket at Fjøsanger and walked first a bit up towards the farm Fjøsanger. Before getting there, we connected to a gravel path that runs mostly parallel to the mountain and walked along this one until the forest starts to open up on the left side. At the very edge of the forest, another path then continues steeply upwards and we used this to get "to the next level" (the still relatively new path which maybe later will be connected with the new Løvstien all around Løvstakken's eastern side). We then walked this path to its current end (there is a little hut for having a break). From there, we then continued through the forest, again, getting up to Mindebakken (a little hill, northeast of Gullsteinen). Since Mindebakken is comparably steep on its western >>>
Ørnafjellet and Lyderhorn on a lovely autumn day!

We started at the parking area right next to Gravdalsvatnet and followed first Gravdalsveien upwards in order to find the path that would bring us to Ørnafjellet. After having passed a few new buildings (with an amazing view!), we crossed over some intermediate height to connect to a small place, where a little football field is established. From there, the path upwards to Ørnafjellet starts (in its middle then called "Mørdarbakke"). This path is not used a lot and it is generally wet (and also a bit steep). Quickly, we arrived at the saddle, where we turned left in order to continue to Ørnafjellet. We first crossed over a little hill in front of Ørnafjellet, before we switched over to the northern ridge of Ørnafjellet, ascending to its top along it. Even though Ørnafjellet >>>
Summer evening on Lyderhorn

We took the car along road 557 towards Bjørndalen, where we parked right next to Bjørndalstjørna. We crossed the double-lane street (Lyderhornsveien) and found a narrow passage that led us up to Bjørndalsbakken. From there, we connected to Sildaberget and between houses 31 and 35 we found the narrow opening, which leads the path that brings one up the steep mountain-side there.
Before actually ascending to Lyderhorn, we first crossed Skarpafjellet in the south of Lyderhorn. Once up the little top, there, one can enjoy some very nice views in all directions.
In order to get further to Lyderhorn, we descended from Skarpafjellet on its northeastern side, avoiding the very steep side towards Grøvledalen. From the saddle, where also a power line is crossing, we then followed a path, which >>>
Løvstakken and Strandafjellet

We parked right above Litlavatet up in Fyllingsdalen and started our (usual) ascent to Løvstakken (first towards Ragnefjellet, passing by the little water fall appropriately called Fossen). Once on the heights, we followed the usual route towards Løvstakken (first eastwards, then in southern direction along the ridge). Soon thereafter we arrived at Løvstakken (quite some others there, too). From the top of Løvstakken, we followed the trail downwards (mostly in northern direction), which leads directly to Strandafjellet. Instead of following the main trail further downwards in the direction of Bergen, we did the short ascent to Strandafjellet and enjoyed some nice views there. We then took the same path again down, before then walking around Strandafjellet on its southern side, descending >>>
Fana-cycling with Fanasåta

I took my bike southwards from Varden, Fyllingsdalen, first passing by Søreide into the direction of Hjellestad. After having crossed the street to the airport, I turned sharply left at Blomsterdalen, continuing on the small road #172 towards Fana. At Skeie, I made sure to connect to the even smaller road, which passes by Hordnesskogen. At Stend, I connected with the main road to Fana, #546, coming there from Rådalen. I then cycled by Fana and continued on road #163 up to Fanafjellet. Even though the height difference is not much, this ascent clearly is tougher than cycling on level ground. :-)
At Fanafjellet, I parked my bike in order to make a short detour to Fanasåta. Right before (north of) the big parking place on the saddle on Fanafjellet, a little forest road leaves to the northeast, >>>
Cycling to Askøy with Folleseåsen

We started our little cycling trip in the south of Fyllingsdalen and took Bjørgeveien towards Loddefjord. From there, we connected to Kjøkkelvikveien and at Nybø, we connected to Sundby Hvorups vei, which brings cyclists (and pedestrians) to the southern end of the large bridge to Askøy (drivers take a tunnel). We crossed over the Askøy-bridge and followed the sidewalk to the place, where a bigger bus-stop is. There, right behind the bus-stop, a steep path is leading downwards to Skarholmvegen. Turning sharply right, once down there, we took Skarholmvegen towards the west on the southern edge of Askøy. We followed this road until we came to Strusshamn, where we continued northover (and upwards), until we got to Follesevegen. There, we continued again westwards (a little), until >>>

We took the car to Laksevåg/Lyngbø and parked right at the beginning of Eliasmarken. From there, we started to walk; first up to Lyngbøveien and so further into Nygårdslien (and upwards this road). At the upper end of Nygårdslien, we connected to the hiking path, which starts/ends there. Quickly, we ascended (moderately steeply) to the height where the path starts to flatten out towards the saddle between Gravdalsfjellet (in the southwest) and Damsgårdsfjellet (in the northeast). At the point, where four paths meet, we turned right (into southwestern direction) and continued our ascent to Gravdalsfjellet. Shortly later, we arrived at the top of Gravdalsfjellet and enjoyed an all-around view from there. From there, we first walked into the direction of Viggohytten, but turned left >>>
