A 2nd Trip Across Mount Ulriken, Rundemanen and Blåbanen

Whenever I'm going to be on call during the weekend at my work as a medical doctor and a cardiac surgeon at our hospital in Bergen, I have the advantage of having a day off on Wednesday prior to that weekend. This was such a Wednesday, and I had decided to make the most of it; and so I set out for a long trek. Having a hike like this is actually a very nice way to seek recreation prior to three days of being continuously on call.
Nature is actually quite beautiful upon the Bergen mountains. It was, however, a rather frozen landscape that met me in the mountains on this particular day. It was still beautiful, but it was beautiful inn a different way. I climbed Mount Ulriken as I've done on multiple occasions, and then from the west peak of Ulriken, I went south east, to a cabin called Turnerhytten

I've been working in the city of Bergen since September 2013, but I have not yet moved to Bergen. I usually go home (by plane) for the weekends unless I'm on call at the hospital where I'm working. During this particular week, however, my wife had come to Bergen to visit me instead, and we were therefore both in Bergen throughout the weekend. On Sunday I went for this 23 km long workout, where I climbed Mount Ulriken, and then followed a trail around the huge plateau that Ulriken is a part of, circumventing the valleys Isdalen, Hardbakkedalen and Våkendalen [The Norwegian word "dal" means valley]. The trail follows a mountain ridge that people in Bergen call Vidden . Finally, the trail takes you down into the pass that connects the valley of Våkendalen with the valley of Jordalen

I've been working in the city of Bergen since 2013. I usually go home for the weekends, unless I'm on call. On this particular weekend I remained in Bergen, however, and so I decided to climb Mount Ulriken again to get some recreation after a busy week at work. There is a rather steep path through the forest beneath the cable car, which I followed up the mountain side. From about 400 m.a.m.s.l. there's suddenly no more forest, but the path continues up the mountain side, and then follows a little mountain ridge till you're almost on top of the mountain. The last 50 elevation meters before you reach the end station of the cable car is again a bit steep, but not in a manner that will cause any trouble for you if you're just a little bit experienced with mountain trekking. For the descent I followed >>>
Til Remmemstind opp midtryggen

Fra Remmemsdalen er det tre forskjellige fjellrygger som fører opp til toppen av Remmemstinden. Det er nordøstryggen, midtryggen og Brastadryggen. Mellom nordøstryggen og midtryggen ligger Remmemsvatnet (724 m.o.h.), og mellom midtryggen og Brastadryggen ligger Brastadvatnet (627 m.o.h.). Denne dagen hadde jeg og eldste sønnen bestemt oss for å prøve oss på å nå toppen via midtryggen. Vi hadde en gang tidligere forsøkt oss sånn halvhjertet på nordøstryggen, og funnet ut at den var i bratteste laget; men midtryggen mente vi burde være grei.
Vi la turen via Bjørnetua og Vardfjellet denne dagen, da vi tidligere hadde erfart at stien opp Heia kunne være litt vanskelig å finne helt nede ved Hellandsetra. Fra Vardfjellet fortsetter man bare videre oppover den fjellryggen man faktisk >>>

Dette var en tur søstra mi ønsket seg til fødselsdagen sin, og da var fjellene ovenfor Remmemsbukta noe vi hadde en akkurat passe nostaligsk tilknytning til. Vi vokste opp med farmor og farfar bosatt i Remmemsbukta, og pleide som barn ofte å besøke dem når vi hadde ferie. Den gangen var det langt mindre fokus på trening og almennhelse enn hva vi har i dag, og på fjelltur var det sjelden vi gikk lengre enn til den røde postkassa på trestammen ved Remmemsetra. Som barn hadde derfor ingen av oss vært hverken på Bjørnetua eller Vardfjellet, men jeg hadde vært på begge toppene noen uker før vi nå tok turen opp denne vakre høstdagen.
Vi betalte de 30 kronene i bompenger, og kjørte Hellandseterveien opp til parkeringsplassen i Remmemsdalen. Derfra la vi så ut til fots, og gikk først >>>
Climbing Mount Ulriken on a Beautiful Afternoon

It feels quite liberating to climb mount Ulriken on monday afternoon/evening, when you've been on call and therefore confined to the hospital and your nearby apartment for the entire weekend. Bergen is a fantastic beautiful city at sunset and at twilight, by the way. And surprise, surprise, at the top of the mountain I encountered two of my colleagues (c'est une hôpital tres sportive..!).
Another Hike to the "Big Horn" on Godøy Island

On this day I had another hike on the mountains of the island Godøy in Giske Municipality in Møre & Romsdal County in western Norway with my son Dag. We had a really nice hike; the pictures above speaks for themselves. The hike is pretty much identical to the one I made on May 2nd 2015. For a short tour description, see my short summary on that date, and for a map, open the GPS tracking! We parked at Hestevika Parking Lot, from where we followed the mountain path up to Lake Alnesvatnet, which is located 250 m.a.m.s.l. We next followed the mountain edge westwards to a ridge that extends northwards from Mount Storhornet, and then we just continued along this ridge up to the summit. Net, we descended the rather steep path on the west side of Storhornet, and climbed up Mount Lesten, thus >>>
Encircling the Southern Part of Mt. Sulafjellet.

On this day I had another nice hiking trip on Mount Sulafjellet with my oldest son and one of his friends. This time we took a different route from what we've done on previous occasions; one that offers an awesome view in a southward direction. We set out from the parking lot at Mauseidvatnet as we've done before, and followed the gravel road through the forest past the cabin called Taustuhytta and up to the one called Rollonhytta . From there we continued along the mountain path that we had used before, up to the summit of the island, which is called Tverrfjellet or Vardane ; making sure though, to take a few minutes even to mount the peak called Rundehornet, so that I could tell people that I had been there also.
From Vardane we descended in southwest direction towards Sulabakkhornet, and then >>>

This weekend we had a really long hiking trip on Sulafjellet mountain. We started out from lake Mauseidvatnet, and went up to the highest point of the mountain as we've done on several previous occations; and from there we went on to the westmost part of Sula island, to a part of the mountain that is called Eltrane. To get there, we just followed a path along the nordthern edge of the mountain plateau that comprises most of the western part of the island. The path was nice, easy to spot, and not at all difficult to walk. We chose a different path for our return, however, as I had seen a track that was marked out on my hiking map. That track, however, proved to be overgrown by grass and heather, and it was very difficult to follow the path that had once been there. It seemed that this track >>>
On Three Peaks of Mount Sulafjellet with my Son

I went for a cool trip on mount Sulafjellet along with my son Dag this afternoon. We started out from the parking place by the lake Mausavatnet as we've done on previous occasions, and walked past the well known mountain cabin Rollonhytta up to the mountain peak commonly reffered to as Vardane (776 meters above main sea level), though the real name is actually Tverrfjellet or just Sulafjellet from Sula, the name of the island on which the mountain is located [fjell = mountain]. We thereafter descended from Vardane as we headed towards another peak, Grøthornet, located 650 mamsl. From Grøthornet we descended quite a bit towards the village Langevåg, until we found a rather steep track that could take us up to the mountain peak called Svanshornet (552 mamsl). From Svanshornet we followed another >>>
