Nice hike on Vindenes

Dato:
04.02.2017
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
8,4km

We drove westwards from Bergen, towards Sotra. After passing through the tunnel under Kolltveit, we turned right at the roundabout, continuing on road #561 in northwards direction. We drove through Knappskog to Ågotnes, where we left the main road at a roundabout, which also is the main entry point to the extended business area at Ågotnes, continuing on Bleivassvegen (again northwards) until we reached Vindenes. There we continued (just for very short) a little bit upwards onto the peninsula (to the northeast) until we found a suitable parking place near Vardhaugen (almost where the bus also turns). From there, we walked, following first a smaller road that leads northwards a bit to the west from the road along with we had parked. After only a few meters, we passed by a parking spot (just >>>

Anekletten on Toftøyna

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
7,2km

I drove westwards from Bergen and over to Sotra, where I turned right (and northwards), following road #561, first through Knappskog and then through Ågotnes. A bit further north, I passed over Misje, before connecting to Toftøyna. There, I drove almost to the very north of this little island (near Torsteinsvik) and parked the car right where a little road called Husdalen connects with Toftøyvegen (road #561). On the other side of the street (on the eastern side), a path extends from the main road, leading eastwards. When crossing over a little dip, that connects to Orrdalsvatnet further south, I did not immediately see the continuation of the path and followed (instead) another path, which leads in northeastern direction. I followed this path until an area, where maybe some scouts are >>>

Signalen

Distanse:
2,7km

We drove west from Bergen to Sotra and then further to Fjell, where we took the road 559 into the direction of Møvik. At the upper (eastern) end of Møvik, we parked near a supermarket on the northern side of the road (where a small road called Signalvegen leaves towards the right (north). From there, all this short hike is pretty straight-forward: First, we followed Signalvegen upwards until we came to Signalvatnet (not quite as full as it seemingly seems to be at other times!). We followed the gravel road further until we came to the dam at the western end of Signalvatnet. There we crossed over, using some wooden stairs that invite to step up to the hillside conveniently. Then, it's just a few steps until one reaches the upper parts of the western end of the Signal-hill. At the "top", >>>

Crossing Høgafjellet from south to north

Dato:
27.11.2016
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
5,6km

Since we were two families with one car each, this day, we decided to traverse Høgafjellet (from the south to the north), instead of going a round. We took road 555 from Bergen to the west (across the large Sotra-bridge) and then continued further southwards, passing through Fjell. At about N60.312, E5.082, we left one car at the parking place, from which one can access the ruins of previous fortifications (fjellfestningen). Driving further southwards, we connected then to road 204, which leads to Haganes. Instead of driving all the way to Haganes, however, we stopped at about N60.286, E5.103 and started our hike from there. We first crossed over Storhaugmyra (mostly in eastern direction), getting into a small valley, which leads upwards to Kattatjørna. There, we basically changed direction >>>

Knappskogfjellet

Dato:

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
6,4km

We drove to Sotra and turned right (northwards) after Kolltveittunnelen. We continued on road 561 northwards until we came to Knappskog. There, we turned left and followed a narrow road to Fjæreide. We parked right next to the cross, where one enters Dalane (in southern direction). We first wished to get to a path at the southern end of Dalane, but when we got close, a man (the owner of house #194?) informed us that we were not supposed to continue, but return and aim at another path that connects to Knappskogfjellet on the eastern side of Dalane. About half the path back to the main road, we detected this path and used it to get up above Dalane and towards Knappskogfjellet. Proceeding towards Knappskogfjellet was then straight-forward (partially steep, but easy to climb up). On Knappskogfjellet >>>

Algrøyna, Smalaneset

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
4,5km

We drove westwards from Bergen towards the outer islands and stopped at Algrøyna (basically at the very last bus stop, there). From there, we continued into western direction, looking into Nøtevika, first. We then crossed over to the relatively large peninsula of Algrøyna, which lies between Breivika in the north and Kungvika in the south. We followed a well-marked path westwards as soon as we had reached this peninsula, following the northern coastline. Relatively quickly, we proceeded towards the outermost tip of this peninsula, Smalaneset, enjoying many great views already on the way out there. After a short rest, we returned---this time following the southern shore, along Kungvika. Back to the street (Kungvikvegen), we did not have long to go, before we were back to the car. It's >>>

Langtrotten on Algrøyna---wild! :-)

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:00t
Distanse:
6,8km

We parked near the bus stop Urhaugen (almost the last one on Algrøyna) and walked from there, first continuing on the road (Nordre Øyavegen, then Kongvikvegen). Near house #51 along Kongvikvegen, one leaves the road and descends down towards the eastern end of Kungvika. There, following one of the paths, we crossed over to the other, southern side that connects to Barmaneset, i.e., the middle of the three "fingers" of Algrøyna. Following the path, we walked westwards, between Urhaugen and Måshaugane, and continuing across Nordra Mynteidet further west and onto Barmaneset. The path leads to the innermost bay of Krabbakeila, where it isn't 100% obvious of how to continue further towards Langtrotten (one has to turn left, basically, walk down, across, and up again, and sneek >>>

Evening hike on Algrøyna

Dato:

Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
5,6km

We drove to Algrøyna (out on Sotra) and parked along Vestavegen. From there, we walked a little along the small roads, following Kongvikvegen---basically straight to the west. Near Kongvikvegen 51 (on the left side of the road), we descended towards a path that leads around this building and then southwards towards Kungvika. There, we crossed over to the south of Kungvika, in order to walk out towards Barmaneset. Following the path, we quickly reached the western end of this peninsula, called Langtrotten. There, we had a nice break, before returning. On the way back, we chose a different path, walking along Storavatnet (in the north of it). Walking this way, one ends up in a narrow valley that connects to Storvegen. From there, it's just a few steps back to Vestavegen. Selected photos >>>

Liatårnet

Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,1km

We parked on the western side of Liatårnet, a few kilometers south of Fjell, where one is also informed about nearby Fjellfestningen. From there, one first follows a paved forrest road towards Liatårnet, passing by Bålesteinen, then turning right. The trail to Liatårnet leave the paved road (to the right) near a shooting arena and right next to a simple building. Then the path leads (more or less) straight up to Liatårnet (easy to find). It was a nice evening, but quite a bit windy (especially on the top)! To get back, we continued from Liatårnet southwards, descending steeply into a wet area about 100 height meters below Liatårnet. In order to get back to the paved road (further down and to the northwest from this place), one needs to look very carefully for a trail (if there >>>

Indrafjellet from Liaskjæret

Dato:

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

We drove from Bergen to Sotra, turning left before entering the tunnel and driving south to Liaskjæret on the eastside of the island. We parked near Liaskjervegen 182, i.e., very close to the point at the street, where the bus turns around. We followed the street southwards, basically to its end---very near to a small harbor for private boats. We went around the last houses and came soon to a small bay (called Nordra Skagavika). From there, we followed a very simple path that leads up to a small lake (Røssevikvatnet). We continued on the western side of this small lake, approaching Hansafjellet. It's straight-forward to hike there, even though we could not see any paths (occasionally, it's wet, yes). It was good to change over to Hansafjellet on its northern end---ascending to this >>>
