Round around Lerøyna

Dato:
05.06.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
6,4km

We thought to explore one of the nearby islands and chose Lerøyna, between Hjellestad and Klokkarvik. Leaving the car in Hjellestad, we took the ferry to Lerøyna, landing on the very western side. Aiming at one round around the island, we started in southeastern direction. Within about 100m from the ferry stop, we came to the place, where during WWII a POW camp was (in Greftvikdalen). Walking through one of the tunnels from that camp (most of them have been closed off by now), we came to a place, right next to Lerøyosen, which is eerily idyllic, given the grim past of this place. From there, we stepped through the green into southeastern direction, passing by a larger number of relatively new houses at the sea in their north. Continuing again through a bit of green (a little further >>>

Steinafjellet and Skjerhaugen

Dato:
16.05.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,0km

Being already very close, I decided to make a quick excursion to Steinafjellet and the coastal area there. After parking next to the school in Landro, my first "challenge" was to get behind the used areas (towards the open landscape with Steinafjellet). I found a way to pass by a farm there, but would have found it even better with a trail head to use. Once behind the farm area, proceeding to Steinafjellet was quick and easy. Once there, I decided to walk a little further (towards the coast) and started to do so in northwestern direction from Steinafjellet. This brought me within a few minutes to a little height, just in the south of Sørdalen. In order to get even closer to the sea, I then descended into Sørdalen, choosing a place which was a little steeper than what was just >>>

Enjoying Tyssøy

Dato:
03.04.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,7km

After some back and forth, we decided to "just enjoy the sun" at Tyssøy (instead of doing something more substantial). Taking the deep under-sea tunnel to Bjorøyna and continuing from there further southwards, we soon after arrived at Tyssøy. We parked right at the first parking place (north of Støene) and started our walk from there. This time, we decided to cross Tyssøy's highest point (a small hill of 80m height!), so instead of following the main trail, we stepped into the kingdom of the goats at once (southwest of Støene) and ascended swiftly to the top from there. Even though Varden is not really a substantial top, it still offers some very nice views over the Fjord! From there, we first followed a marked trail down (a little), before connecting to the main trail >>>

Stortårnet and Nilskyrkja

Dato:
21.03.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,6km

Our idea was to explore the west of Dala, south of Fjell in Øygarden. After driving westwards from Bergen, we turned south once on Sotra. Passing by Fjell, we soon arrived in Dala, where we parked next to the main road. The first (small) hiking goal of the day was Stortårnet in th southwest of Dala. After crossing a playing ground right next to Dalseidet, we started a short ascent (first without any trail). Once above 70mosl, we connected to a simple trail which then lead us to Stortårnet. Before turning back, we first explored the area a little, including the mobile sender mast in the southeast of the top (northwest of Dalatjørna). We then continued northwestwards from Stortårnet, reaching Ærhaugane soon after while walking over the ridge parallel to Trengereidpollen some 75 meters >>>

To Ternneset in quite some snow

Dato:
31.01.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
7,8km

With all the snow around, we aimed at another nice hike out in Øygarden. Expecting that we may end up in not 100% nice weather, we decided to walk out to Ternneset from Kausland. Driving west from Bergen, we turned left (southwards) on Sotra, passing by Fjell soon after and continuing further southwards. After passing Hammarsland, we turned right (in western direction) at Eide. At Vestrepollen, we turn left, again, into the direction of Glesvær. At Kausland, we turned right (onto Liagarden) and parked at the end of the road. From there, we then started our hike in westward direction. Passing by Koldalshaugmyra in its north, we headed further westwards to get through Lauvvatnet (in the north) and Goltatjørna (in the south). North of Hølshaugen, we then crossed to connect to a trail >>>

Rounding Storavatnet in the south of Kallestad

Dato:
24.01.2021
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
10,3km

After discussing a few ideas for another nice hike, we eventually decided to drive out to Øygarden, once again, and explore the region near Kallestad again. We thought that the available daylight should be enough to attempt a round around Storavatnet in the southwest of Kallestad. Driving west from Bergen, you get, after a bit, to Sotra. There, turning left, brings one via Fjell further south. At Trengereid, we then turned right in order to drive out to Kallestad, where we parked near Grendahuset. Since our plan was to round Storavatnet in counterclockwise direction, we first walked out of Kallestad in western direction, passing by Vassenden, south of Stølstjørna. There, instead of further following the trail into the direction of Kjereidet, we just walked up the first little hill, >>>

Visiting Ånesvika on Algrøyna

Dato:
16.01.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
8,2km

We had heard about a new place for staying overnight in the middle of the wild nature of Algrøyna (at Ånesvika) and thus decided to go and have a look ourselves. :-) After first driving along road 555 towards Sotra in the west of Bergen, we turned towards south after passing through the tunnel in the south of Kolltveit, heading towards Fjell. There, we turned right, again, following road 559 into the direction of Møvik at the west-side of Sotra. Following this road further (eventually northwards along the coast), we came to Skålvik, where we turned left, again, and onto a narrow road leading us to Algrøyna (the road also connects to Langøyna and Lokøyna). Once on Algrøyna, and a little less than half way towards the main village on that island, we parked a bit up the hill, where >>>

Liatårnet from Fjell Festningen

Dato:
30.12.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
10,5km

Even though it was already a little later on the day (not a great lot of daylight left), we still wished to make a nice hike somewhere in the neighborhood. We then arrived at the following: first, we would ascend to Fjell Festningen (from Søre Fjell), then walk over to Pyttane and Liatårnet, before eventually returning via Fjell Festningen, again. And so we did it. :-) After using road 555 from Bergen towards Sotra (in western direction), we turned left (southwards) on Sotra, arriving in Fjell soon after that. Continuing along road 560 further southwards (from Fjell for about half a kilometer), we soon came to Søre Fjell, where we found a parking place right next to the road. From there, we followed a properly marked trail (in eastern direction), ascending to Fjell Festningen within >>>

Rundehaugen from Fjæreide

Dato:
27.09.2020
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:30t
Distanse:
9,7km

Since we expected the afternoon to be substantially cloudy, we decided to make a hike in the lowlands rather than up on some tops (and in the clouds). Since we had not yet explored this region in detail, we chose to start at Fjæreide (in the west of Knappskog on Sotra) and then aim for Rundehaugen (in the east of Skålvik). After driving along road 555 westwards to Sotra and then northwards (road 561), one comes to Knappskog. There, one can turn left (westwards, again) and follow a narrow road to Fjæreide, where there's ample space for parking next to the road (they may have had, or still have, plans to broaden this road, leaving quite a bit of not yet used space besides the road). At the southern-most point (in Fjæreide) the road crosses over a small valley in a large turn to the right. >>>

Visiting Kavlane from Kallestad

Dato:
11.07.2020
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
12,2km

Hoping for a bit of OK weather, we aimed at the islands in the west of Bergen. Road 555 brought us to Sotra, where we turned south. Passing by Fjell and continuing along road 555 into the direction of Hammarsland, we turned right after Dalseidet, taking road 203 towards Kallestad. There, we parked right next to Grendahuset, starting our hike from there, passing by a few of the houses of Kallestad before getting "out into the wild", west of Kallestad. While the first meters past the last house are still on a kind of gravel road, this quickly changes into a nicely marked trail (Nordsjøløypen), which passes by Stølstjørna (in its southwest), then turning westwards, again, leading through a minor valley to Kjereidet. There, Kørelen (in the south) empties into Kjereidosen (in >>>
