Bergens lengste bakke, one of the classics near Bergen!

Dato:
09.09.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:15t
Distanse:
12,8km

For a while, already, we had discussed that it absolutely was high time, again, for one of the nice classics in the vicinity of Bergen: up to Sydpolen from Brekkedalen! Since the weather seemed to hold throughout the day, we were quick to choose this hike for the day! :-) Driving into Hausdalen from E39 (south of Bergen), we aimed at the parking place at the very end of the road (basically where Brekkedalen splits off from Hausdalen). Hoping that we would not be too late to also find a free spot for our car, we then were relieved to actually find the parking place "only" half full (at about 11h). We quickly got started, heading into Brekkedalen along the gravel road. As soon as we approached Sandane, we also could look up to Sydpolen, already (always an impressive sight). Continuing >>>

Accidental Stemhaugen

Dato:
26.08.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
20,2km

The primary goal of this trip was to just do a bit of shopping! :-) Once on my bike, however, I immediately thought that making a short detour, first, would be good. I thus started along Bjørgeveien and headed northwards towards Bjørndalen. South / southeast of Lyderhorn, I then connected to Liavatnet. As I came towards the northern end of Liavatnet, I thought that this was maybe my chance to include a short visit to Stemhaugen! :-) North of the dam that holds back Liavatnet, I thus left my bike behind and found my way (rather "way") up to Stemhaugen via its northern ridge (no trail, steep, but not difficult). I then crossed over the top of Stemhaugen, enjoying some nice views down to Liavatnet and over to Lyderhorn. On my way down (still in southern direction), I made it >>>

Solbakkafjellet from Hausdalen

Dato:
05.08.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
9,1km

Since we had not been there for a while, we thought that hiking up to Solbakkafjellet once again may nice. This time, however, we decided to approach it from Hausdalen near Haugland. Driving into Hausdalen, we found a place near Haugland, where we could leave the car for a few hours. From there, we started to approach Solbakkafjellet "straight up" (without any trail). The southeastern flank of Solbakkafjellet (Skoralia) is steep and occasionally one needs to find a way around some obstacles on the way up. Still, ascending "straight up" is not really difficult. Within not too long, we accordingly arrived at the top of Solbakkafjellet, paying Petersplassen a short visit (we could not remember this place from our last visit). We then crossed over the long top-ridge of >>>

Bike-hiking Skavdalsfjellet (and some additional hills)

Dato:
23.07.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:00t
Distanse:
43,6km

Due to some unfortunate illness, this excursion was without the usual company. The idea was to first ride my eBike to a suitable starting point and then do a hike from there. Also, I thought to make a hike, which we quite likely would not do together (parts of the planned hike were predicted to be more like a bush war than anything else*), ending up at the area in the northeast of Myrdalsvatnet with its smaller (and honestly speaking also not terribly exciting) hills (Kattuglehaugane, Barkahaugane, Kattuglefjellet, and Preståsen). I also thought to visit two small hills in Skjold (Skjoldhøgda and Storåsen), since they were along my route to Myrdalsvatnet (and since I thought that I'd never visit them otherwise anyway). Biking around Søråsen, I made my way to Skjold. Finding a good route >>>

Gulltjørna from Risnes

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,6km

We liked the idea to paying Gulltjørna another visit and we also liked the idea to do it, again, from the north. Following E16 into the east of Bergen, we left the main road near Romslo in order to connect to the old, narrow road that would bring us closer to Risnes. We found a spot where we could park alongside the road just a short stretch before actually getting all the way to Risnes. From there, we walked first for a short stretch along the road in order to get to our starting point of the actual hike. Right next to the bridge over the stream that comes down there through Risnes, we saw that one could use the steps of the water processing building there to get a bit further up (and away from the road). Where the stairs end, however, one needs to revert to actual hiking (there it's >>>

Biking around Hordnesskogen

Dato:
17.06.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
31,8km

With also the other bike repaired, we headed for a new biking-round around Nordåsvatnet. Again, we started our joint ride near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading south (into the direction of Nesttun). This time, we surrounded Kristianborgvannet on the other, eastern side, though. Following the main bike route southwards, we eventually ended up in Rådalen. There, we decided that we would bike around Hordnesskogen in its south. Afte first following Rådalen further south (to the north of the school at Stend), we then turned right and onto Hordesvegen. Near house #202 along Hordnesvegen, we then came to a parking opportunity for those, who wish to start into Hordnesskogen from the south there. There, we headed into Hordnesskogen (in northwestern direction) for a few hundred >>>

Biking around Nordåsvatnet

Dato:

Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
25,0km

We had a bike to pick up and wished to ride a little round -- not at the least to also see that it was functioning as well as expected. We started the joint ride at the bike shop near the light rail station at Kristianborg, heading first southwards along Kanalveien and then following the track of the no longer existing railway into the direction of Nesttun. At the church of Skjold, we then turned right and cycled down to Skjoldbukta along Harald Skjolds veg. From there, we then cycled up to Nordåsvegen, which we then followed "all around" Nordåsen. On the south, we then descended to Steinsvikvegen. Following Steinsvikvegen around Steinsviken and Søviken, we connected to Søreide and from there further northwards to Sandeidet. All in all, a nice bike ride! :-) See also the >>>

Gullsteinen from Varden

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
7,8km

We wished to get some fresh air and thus headed for Gullsteinen (from Varden). We first descended from Varden to Sælevatnet, before then surrounding Bondegården in its north. Via Ture Nermans vei we then connected to Rekdalsveien, which we then followed "all the way up" to the point, where one can step down some stairs to the sports area in Fjellsdalen. We then stepped up Hattedalen to get to Bråtet. From there, we then started our ascent to Gullsteinen. While one of us found a way (more a "way"!) up to Knultrane, the other one continued along the gravel road to Nils Langhellesvei (where we met, again, then). From there, it was then up via the southern ridge to Gullsteinen, mostly following the nice trails along this ridge. From the top of Gullsteinen, however, >>>

Ankerhytten from Sandviken

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
11,1km

We somehow decided to go a round near Bergen and thus took the bus to Sandviken. After first walking up to Fjellveien, we continued along it to get to Permisjonsstien. This brought us up to Sandviksbatteriet, where we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden. Next on the agenda was to get over to Munkebotn, cross over the stream that runs out of Munkebotsvatnet towards the north, and take the trail up to cabin Ravneberg. This trail is actually quite steep (but nice and straight-forward to hike up), offering some nice views along it. Continuing along the trail, we then passed by (closed) Sandvikshytten, before heading further upwards into the direction of Kvitebjørnen. Instead of hiking all the way to the top of Kvitebjørnen, however, we then followed a lower trail that was supposed to bring >>>

Erdalsvarden from Bratland (or so)

Dato:
13.05.2023
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
12,2km

We picked up an older plan to visit Erdalsvarden from Bratland and drove past Grimevatnet to the south of Søylevatnet (along the main road to Arna). We parked where on also can take a trail (in southern direction) to get up to Furedalen. Instead, however, we headed (at large) in northward direction, passing Søylevatnet in its east. We then continued along the ridge that extends from Borgnyhaugen (in the southwest) to Krunhaugen (in the northeast). From there, we followed (for a short stretch) the road up to Øvre Bratland, before turning left at house 146 and then walking along the old postal route between Bergen and Christiania (nowadays Oslo). This brought us to the saddle where one could then continue downwards again (towards Erdalen in southwestern direction). There, we turned right >>>
