From Lyngholm to Ryvarden

Dato:
16.11.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
6,7km

We left one car at the parking lot for Ryvarden in Mølstrevåg, while driving with the other one to Lyngholm a bit further north. There, we found a place, where we could leave the car for 20 NOK. There, we started our hike, following the well-marked North Sea Trail (Nordsjøløypa). Right in the beginning, the weather was a bit rough (strong wind, a bit of rain) -- a bit later, though, it improved and approaching Landsåt, we even got to imagine the sun for some moments! :-) The rather wild weather, however, made walking this trail an interesting experience. Especially the hail showers, which hit us with quite some force due to the strong wind, made sure that we experienced a special kind of presence. :-) Even though the first roughly three kilometers not really are right at the sea, >>>

Morning round on Ryvardsneset

Dato:
16.11.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,9km

We were staying in one of Flokehyttene on Ryvardsneset and given the rather strong winds the circumstances for easily sleeping into the Saturday were not ideal anyway -- instead, it was much better to get out into the wind and make an attempt to use a rain-free period for a stroll around Ryvardsneset. First, we took the few steps out to the light house at Ryvarden. With all the rather strong winds, it was clearly an impressive experience (and walking down to Huldrahola was by no means a viable option). Next, we visited the commemoration monument for the Sleipner tragedy a bit north of Ryvarden in 1999. Even though breakfast was tempting a real lot, already, there still seemed to be a good opportunity for including a short trail along the southern coast of Ryvardsneset. This trail, when >>>

Valesåta, Trollevassnibba, Monsvarden, Målefjellet

We had left Bergen early on this Friday to still use some daylight time for a hike on Sveio. Right after using the under sea tunnel from Stord, we turned onto Tittelsnesvegen (in a way to head "back" north, but now above the tunnel). Near Valevåg Camping (on the left side of the street) we found a spot to park (on the right side of the street) and started our hike from there. We first continued along Tittelsnesvegen northwards, passing by Valevåg Camping on the left, until we came to the place, where Tittelsnesvegen forks off to the right. Following now this part of Tittelsnesvegen for about two thirds of a kilometer, we got to the trail head on the right of the road. From there, we used a well-marked trail relatively steeply upwards to get up to a ridge in the south of Valesåta. >>>

Herlandsfjellet from Herland

Dato:

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 .

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).

Just a Friday evening walk in the neighborhood to stretch our feet and get some fresh air. Simple, nice. :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Jurefethaugen and Vikåsen

Dato:
27.10.2024
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,9km

The main idea was to use a window between some predicted rain showers and to go and have a look at the place, where some 40 years ago two wave power stations were built at Kalvøyna in Øygarden. To make this at least somewhat a hike, also, we parked near Balsvågen right next to Turøyvegen. From there, our first goal was to step up to Jurefethaugen (or Gjugrefethaugen or ...). This worked out without difficulties (we only needed to walk around a rather wet spot between the street and the hill). Close to the top, we passed a really impressive stone wall. From Jurefethaugen, we aimed at Lykleneset a bit further north. The idea was to see if we could make it there via the wild west-side of this peninsula. This worked well, but it should be noted that progress is not necessarily possible >>>

Langaneset from Vadmyra

Distanse:

Not much to write. Stretching my legs a little, taking a look at Loddefjord kirke (and also at Frasmers Møllestein). Then exploring Langaneset in Storavatnet. More rain was expected, but we take it with less, also, I think! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Storenuvarden and more

Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
6:30t
Distanse:
70,6km

Given the nice autumn weather, I made a plan to cycle around Vidden and explore some minor hills along the way. I started by cycling around Nordåsvatnet (in its north), continuing to Paradis. From there, I took the road through Sanddalen to get to the main axis towards Arna from Nesttun. It started in Sanddalen that I understood that this trip will be special, given a chain that had become quite slippery, already -- the relatively steep part upwards on Sandbrekkevegen I already had to push the bike... My first exploration goal of the day was to bike out Hardangervegen right next to the train tracks on the other, southeastern side of Midtunelva. This works, but the path (or better "path") is not really prepared and biking there with a street bike, for example, is not reasonable. >>>
