Nice and wild Skogsøyna

Dato:
09.08.2018
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
8,1km

We parked our cars near the bridge between Skogsøyna and Herdlevær, where a board also tells the hikers about the island and the paths that one can take. From there, we followed the main path along the northwestern shore of Skogsøyna, heading towards the spectacular southwestern end of the island. After a bit of hiking, we approached Skogsøytua, i.e., the highest point on this trip (about 45mosl). From there, instead of heading back "as usually", we first explored the lower parts of the cliffs at Skogshola. Note that it is critical that you indeed judge the situation correctly in order to avoid any dangerous and unwanted problems with the sea. Should it happen that a wave takes you off the stones, it is likely possible that you will end up in severe troubles (others have >>>

Up Stoltzekleiven and back via Fløyen

Dato:
06.08.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
8,5km

We took the bus to Sandviken and ascended through some (very) small roads up to Fjellveien in order to get to the start of Stoltzekleiven. A little bit of rain helped to cool us down, while ascending to Sandviksfløyen. From Sandvikspilen it is always a nice view over Bergen! When continuing from there, we could not resist a short dive into Storevatnet, before proceeding towards Fløyen. We took Tippetue (via Vindeggen) down to Bergen, before catching a bus in Olav Kyrres gate. Always a challenge to "run" up Stoltzekleiven as fast as possible! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . The hiking portal UT.no describes a similar hike .

After-flight hike to Knappen

Dato:
05.08.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,8km

To stretch our legs a little bit, we decided to make a quick hike over Knappen, ignoring the fact that it rained (more or less). We started from Varden, went first towards Gjeddevatnet, before we went down to Bjørgeveien and from there further to Sandeidbrotet. From there, we continued via a nice path, leading first up to Eldtona, before from there connecting to Såta, the highest point in Knappen (not very high, after all). After enjoying a bit of a view of Grimstadfjorden, we descended to the southern end of Knappetjørna. Before returning back to Varden via Vassteigen, we dived for a short swim into Knappetjørna. All in all, even though the weather was suboptimal, this was a refreshing excursion at the end of the day. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway . Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen .

Exploring Turøyna

Dato:
11.05.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
3,3km

It was time to get out to Turøyna and explore the rather wild nature there! We started from the street to the small settlement on Turøyna and headed towards the large cairn, Turøyvarden, on the largest top of the island. From there, we continued northwards (and without any path) to reach Svartanova via Tuskeluren. From there, to get further northwest to Laksneset, we had to find a way to cross over a rather deep trough. Starting relatively low on Svartanova and searching for a proper place "on half height", walking in southwestern direction, proved to be the right approach and after only a few steps, we were able to cross over. Then it was straight forward to get to Laksneset and enjoy some nice views from there. Continuing our hike around the island, we then followed the >>>

Short hike on Storskora

Dato:
11.05.2018
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
0:30t
Distanse:
2,0km

After our hike on Turøyna , we continued with a short hike on Storskora, visiting a little light house at the northwestern end of this little island. Following a nicely marked path from the street, it was straight-forward to reach our target. From there, we basically took the same path back, then.

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:

Starting from Varden in the south of Fyllingsdalen, this was "just" a short and quick hike into Kanadaskogen and around Stora Krokatjørna. See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Short excursion into Kanadaskogen (from Fyllingsdalen)

Dato:
28.02.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
2,2km

Quick winter excursion into Kanadaskogen from Fyllingsdalen. Since the weather was beautiful and the snow invited for an excursion (and there was a bit of time), I used the opportunity to do a quick excursion into the vicinity of Nipetjørna. Up and down in short time, but greatly enjoyed! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Snow-covered Liatårnet (via an unusual route)

Dato:
25.02.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
9,2km

Very nice hike over snow-covered Liatårnet! We started from the west, followed the road (towards the shooting range), before we then entered one of the main hiking paths to Liatårnet (the main route up from the west). But instead of following this path all the way up, we took a turn to the right (southeast) shortly before reaching the main west-face of Liatårnet (at about 200mosl) and connected to another, not so major path, which leads up to Liatårnet from the south. We then connected to Pyttane, walking through a lovely winter landscape, passing by Tårnavatnet. Instead of then following the main road up/down Pyttane, we continued "along the ridge towards the north" (without a path). One has to look a little, where to go, but it's quite possible (especially with enough >>>

Eikelifjellet

Dato:
05.01.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
2,5km

We started from the parking place at the end of Spelhaugen (near the Kindergarden) and took the clearly less used path into northern direction (a bit to the right from the main track up to Tennebekktjørna, also called Mørkebotn). After a short while, the hiking path then leaves the valley towards the right and (steeply) upwards. Before getting to the wet flat spot there, we first explored a little top south of it (mostly to check out the view over Spelhaugen). We then turned around, again into northern direction, got down to the wet flat, crossed it, and started our ascent to Eikelifjellet (this all isn't much of a hike, but it's very nice to go there, not at the least because Eikelifellet really is very steep at this side and one follows a little path up right next to impressive cliff >>>
