Storhovden with snow shoes

Dato:
04.01.2025
Turtype:
Trugetur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,4km

With quite a bit of snow around, still, we thought that it was the right day for taking our snow shoes out and into Kanadaskogen! From Varden, we first headed to Hesjaholten, where we put on the snow shoes. After stepping up (and around) Litla Krokatjørna, we crossed a hill to connect to Stora Krokatjørna. There, we decided to also include a visit to Storhovden (via Syningen). After a short round on the heights of Storhovden, we started our walk back. To round this excursion, we aimed at Langaheia via Spelhaugen. Always fun to venture into deep snow with snow shoes, but not easy-going to make many kilometers under such circumstances! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Stroll through snow and sun around Bjørndalsvatnet

Dato:
01.01.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
8,2km

A snowy day with nice weather: a good reason for making a stroll in the neighborhood! We started with Eldtona on Knappefjellet before "turning around" and heading northwards to make a round around Bjørndalsvatnet before returning back to Varden. Not a very long hike, but very nice with the snow and some sun, also! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Løvstakken and Løvstien

Dato:
30.12.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,8km

Together with friends, we had decided to use the afternoon for a short hike in the local area. We parked in the east of Litlavatnet in the northeast of Fyllingsdalen and headed up to Løvstakken following the main trail from the parking place. From the top of Løvstakken, we then descended towards the southeast using a minor trail a bit further east than the main trail in the south of Løvstakken. This brought us down to Løvstien, which we then followed (in northern direction) to complete a round back to Fyllingsdalen. Our timing was just right to cross over Løvstakken without any need for head lights -- down on Løvstien, we then took advantage of the installed lights. At the end of the hike, it started to snow, adding a nice touch to the overall experience! :-) Selected photos are available >>>

Nice round around Korsneset

Dato:
08.12.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,5km

The weather was looking good for this Sunday and so we aimed at getting some fresh air around our heads. We headed via Fana to Korsneset and parked at the parking place right at the entry to the military area. Our first goal was Hendershaugen in the south of the road. To get there, we first walked the road back a few meters, before then heading towards the top of Hendershaugen along the outer rim of the military area. Even though Hendershaugen is not very high, it's still nice to get up there and enjoy some nice views. From Henderhaugen, we then headed northwards. More or less right where we stepped out of the forest and onto Korsnesvegen, we decided to continue northwards via the eastern heights of Korsneset (instead of walking back to the parking place). Within a few minutes, we were >>>

Wet cycling around Damsgårdsfjellet

Dato:
01.12.2024
Turtype:
Gatesykling
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
23,2km

The indeed very wet Sunday did not really invite to a hike. Making a bike-trip, however, seemed just OK to get some fresh air. Starting at Varden, I first biked along Bjørgeveien into the direction of Loddefjord. Between Svartaberget in the southeast and Skarkafjellet in the northwest, I then turned into the direction of Laksevåg (towards the northeast). After cycling along Liavatnet, I was in the mood to double-check whether there wasn't a way to connect from Nordre Banuren to Gravdalslien with the bike (my memory was that there certainly is no way to drive this connection with a car, though). After cycling up to Nordre Banuren, I got the very clear impression that crossing over to Gravdalslien with the bike was neither possible (not without carrying the bike etc.). I thus biked back >>>

Kanadaskogen in new snow

Dato:
23.11.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
13,9km

We looked forward to a quite nice day with some new snow. Instead of choosing a trip far from home, we decided to simply head into Kanadaskogen and see where it would take us. We first headed north from Varden and entered Kanadaskogen from Hesjakollen in the southeast of Litla Krokatjørna. We followed a simple trail further northwards, which brought us to the southwestern side of Stora Krokatjørna. With some low-standing sun casting light across the snow-covered landscape, we already enjoyed our excursion substantially! :-) From Stora Krokatjørna, we aimed at Storhovden as our next goal, stepping up the southern ridge of Syningen to get there. We then explored the three heights of Storhovden before continuing in northeastern direction. While first going off-trail, we eventually joined >>>

Herlandsfjellet from Herland

Dato:
09.11.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,8km

We had this one day and wished to do a nice hike with approximately 800 height meters. We took inspiration from an earlier approach to Herlandsfjellet and aimed at repeating the same ascent from Herland. Again, we parked near the bridge to Osterøy. We then "went around" to get to the southern side of E16, following Romslovegen for a short stretch (and over E16). On the other side, we followed a short side road that would bring us to the actual starting point of the ascent right next to Kjerringaelva. As last time, we followed the ridge between Holebekken in the west and Kjerringaelva in the east to find our way up to Saurinden. This is a steep ascent, but the terrain is easy to traverse. Once above 150masl, it's no longer "very steep", and then above 300masl it's basically a gentle slope upwards. The >>>

Cycling around Nordåsvatnet

Dato:

Turtype:
Gatesykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
25,0km

After changing to spikes on our bikes, we wished to bike one round to see that everything works well. Lacking a more creative idea, we decided to simply bike once around Nordåsvatnet. While we did get quite a bit wet, we still returned satisfied after a bit of work-out... See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Traudalen

Dato:

Turtype:
Gatesykling
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
8,6km

Instead of biking directly to the shop, I decided to make a little detour towards upper Fyllingsdalen. Before the rain started, I took a look at the place, where in 2020 a stone was erected in memory of three British soldiers, who had jumped out of their aircraft on January 12, 1945, then coming down on parachutes, before eventually being captured and detained. First, I had considered to include also a short hike up to Løvstakken, but since it already started to rain, my motivation degraded and I instead returned back towards more southern grounds in Fyllingsdalen (and to the shop, of course).
