Bike-hiking Landåsfjellet and more

Dato:
01.09.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
37,5km

Somehow, I thought that this Sunday was the day for visiting Nattlandsfjellet and checking out the view-point right above the tunnel of Nye Sædalsveien. I got onto my eBike and biked around the south of Bønes, following the north shore of Nordåsvatnet. This brought me to Gamlehaugen, where I decided to interrupt my bike-trip for a short exploration of the area around the King's house. My first goal there was to get up to the small hill in the southeast of the mansion. I first thought that there would be a way to get there "directly", just to find that this little hill has some rather steep cliff on its west-side -- not high, but high enough to be an obstacle. Walking around, however, brought me to a path that -- while apparently not much used -- lead me easily and conveniently >>>

Bike-hiking Milde and Hordnesskogen

Dato:
31.08.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
48,6km

With a nice Saturday at my hand (and foot), I decided to explore the southwest of Milde. I thus mounted my eBike and cycled southwards, passing by Straume and biking along Ytrebygdsvegen, then continuing into the direction of Hjellestad/Milde. While biking by the Arboretet at Milde, one of the spokes on one wheel snapped -- not good. I still continued further southwards, aiming at Skipanesvegen in the south of Mildevatnet. Near Steingardsvikane, I left my bike behind and continued to do a short hike. I first walked along a trail that leads over to Okshammarsvika from Steingardsvikane. At the first nice bay, north of Steingardsvikane, I then found a trail that suggested to bring me up to Slettåsen. While this trail was easy to follow, first, it became less clear near the "top" >>>

Wet Arboretet

Dato:

Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:

Distanse:

Despite the rather wet weather forecast, we still embarked on a visit to Arboretet in Milde. It was nice (and [very] wet). :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Skåldalsnipa direttissima via Moldalia

Dato:
18.08.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,1km

The idea was to ascend to Skåldalsnipa "direttissima" via Moldalia. Why not? Not a good idea on a wet day -- probably true. Still, this is what happened anyway. Consider with care, if you -- for whatsoever reason -- wished to do the same. From the road with name Moldalia it was first "gently upwards" in eastern direction, walking along a proper forest road / trail. As soon as after passing by the last houses, however, it was into the forest and up the slope. From this point, and up to Skåldalsnipa, it was then mostly a climbing effort using all four extremities. Also, there was quite some vegetation to get around. Quite a bit of this vegetation, however, was also helpful to provide some additional grip. Once above about 500 masl (and there above the tree line), >>>

Lyderhorn as a nice extra

Dato:
28.07.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,2km

After first exploring Lysøya and then taking a look at Lyseklosteret , we decided that we were still up for a short visit to Lyderhorn. We parked north of Kjøkkelvikskole (along Gamle Kjøkkelvikveien), and then followed the "standard trail" up to Små-Lyderhorn (via Olderdalen). The last 130 height meters, approximately, are then "straight up" to Lyderhorn in a northwards direction, scaling the rather steep southern side of the mountain. After enjoying some nice views from the top, we then took an alternative route down (first further northwards, down to about 330 masl, before then turning left). While first taking the right turn left, after descending northwards along the main trail from the top of Lyderhorn, we then still got confused (regarding the right spot for starting the off-main-trail descent) and included >>>

Evening walk to Knappen

Dato:
26.07.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,5km

With still a couple of daylight hours to go (easy in July around here!), we decided to simply make a short round to Knappen. Evening light is actually quite nice -- also on Knappen! :-) 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 Knappen . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike to Knappen .

Exploring Ytrebygda a little more

Dato:
24.07.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
27,8km

To get some fresh air in the nice weather, I embarked on a short bike trip with a few small walking bits. I first explored Storåsen on Dolvikhaugene, just to find the "actual top" to be a bit too much within the houses around it. I then visited Skranevatnet in the southwest of Feråsen, which was a nice surprise. Next, I explored Storasåta in the north of Ytrebygsvegen. When approached from the north/northeast, one can actually find a proper trail that leads up to this small hill. Thereafter, I paid Lilandshaugen a short visit, which offers quite some nice views across the airport of Bergen. I improvised my way up, just to then find out that actually there's a convenient road (Lilandsvegen) that leads up to the vista-point. After biking around Lilandshaugen, I then checked >>>

Søtefjellet from Hausdalen

Dato:
20.07.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
6:30t
Distanse:
10,4km

We wished to use the nice weather on this warm Saturday afternoon and headed for Hausdalen in the southeast of Bergen. Driving Hausdalen in for a little less than 7km, we parked in the southwest of Tømmervika (Samdalsvatnet), where a forest road forks off Hausdalsvegen into the direction of Straumsrinden. Following this forest road, we passed by Samdalsvatnet in its southwest, heading for the southwestern ridge of Søtefjellet, starting at Hisbotn. Just because others have described their ascent to the small hill in the north of Ulvvatnet (and even though they did not recommend to visit it -- or maybe because of their according comments :-)), this hill was included as a prelude to the ascent to Søtefjellet. Back on the forest road, and "around some corners in the northeast of Ulvvatnet, >>>

Around Løvstakken (and up to it, too)

Dato:
15.06.2024
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
22,9km

We combined two ideas: Cycle along Løvstien and visit Løvstakken. We started at Varden and biked around Sælevatnet, continuing then along Straumeveien until we came to Bøneset. There we crossed under the main road to then ascend towards Storahugen and further to Kråkenes. Following road Øvre Kråkenes, we got to the start point of Løvstien (on its southern end). We then biked along Løvstien, passing by Lerkhaugen and Lisahaugen, until we were close to Grønnestølen. At about (5.3307E/60.3549) we then parked our bikes at the side of Løvstien, where also a trail from Grønnestølstunet comes up. From there, we then started our ascent towards Løvstakken, starting in southwestern direction (up towards a small saddle that would bring us over and into "Dalen"). While one >>>

Knappen

Dato:
02.06.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:45t
Distanse:
4,8km

To get some fresh air, we decided to do a quick round over Knappen, approaching it via Sandeidbrotet (up to Eldtona, first). After crossing over to Såta on Knappen, we then descended furthre southwards (via Hesthaugen). Before stepping out on Knappenveien, we saw some (new?) signs near the sports area, suggesting a trail through the forest to Knappentunet. Following this trail, we first made quick progress into the right direction. After a while, however, the trail seemed to cross over some wet area at Hesthaugen, becoming less visible (or not at all, actually). Following our basic sense of orientation, we crossed through the forest into the right direction, connecting to Knappenveien at Knappentunet in the south of Knappatjørna. From there, it was then straight-forward (mostly) to >>>
