Hiking Mount Sulafjellet with a son and a daughter.

Dato:
08.08.2015
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
3:44t
Distanse:
12,0km

I had on this day a really nice trip on the mountain Sulafjellet with my oldest son and my oldest daughter, aiming for the peak called Vardane. I also made the very same trip two months and two days earlier with my two sons and my cousin Savanna. On that day we had showers of hail and rain on the trip, and there was still a substantial amount of snow in the track. Even today we had just a very little bit of rain as we started on our descent back down from the mountain, but that didn't last for long; and the temperature was very different from what it was back in the beginning of june...

Hiking to "The Pulpit Rock" in Rogaland County

Dato:
03.08.2015
Turtype:
Fottur
Turlengde:
1:18t
Distanse:
4,0km

This afternoon I had a nice hike to the mountain plateau called The Pulpit Rock, in Norwegian Preikestolen. Weather was fabulous, it was actually so hot we needed to bring along a bottle of water each. It's a walk of about 4 km only (in each direction) from the parking area. Preikestolen is among the most famous tourist attractions in Norway, and has an estimated number of more than 200.000 visitors per year; hence a rather nice stone track has been made for the hikers, though it is, I have to say, a bit pebbled.

Encircling the western aspect of the Island Godøy

Distanse:
14,8km

I had yet one hiking trip on the mountain of Godøy island this day. The weather was foggy and cold, and it was quite a wet experience; but I really needed to combust some calories after I attended the celebration of my mother's 70th anniversary the previous day. I climbed up from the promontory Alnes, up to the peak of Storhornet, then descended on the other side of the island, down to a place called Djuv. From there I followed the sea shore of the southern and western side of the island, back to Alnes. Due to the rough terrain, this part of the trip was definitely the hardest, despite the fact that the route mostly follows sea level. Upon arrival at Alnes, I followed the seashore around the promontory, and even stopped to shoot some photos of the picturesque lighthouse that is there. This >>>

Hybrid-trip (bike and hike) to Mount Lyderhorn.

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:
1:46t
Distanse:
4,6km

On this beautiful day in the month of May I had a splendid afternoon/evening trip up to the summit of mount Lyderhorn just west of the city of Bergen. I went by bicycle as far up as possible, to an altitude of about 212 meters above sea level (blue line on the image above); where I locked the bike to a fence and continued on foot (red line on the image). There is actually a narrow, but nice road up to a military installation at this altitude, quite nice for bicycling. A forest track then leads a few metres ahead to an escarpment, where some nice stairs have been built, that'll take you down to a lake or a pond called Skåleviksvatnet. From there a mountain track leads right to the summit of the mountain. The summit is located at an elevation of 396 meters. Had wonderful weather conditions, >>>

On Mount Løvstakken with my Son Dag

Dato:

Turtype:

The city of Bergen has traditionally been called The City Between Seven Mountains, though there’s traditionally also been a dispute as to which of the many mountains around the city actually comprises the seven. Nevertheless, Mount Løvstakken is generally agreed upon to be one of the seven, and I had therefore had a desire for some time to visit this mountain. I had been working in Bergen for a little less than a year at this time, despite living in a different part of Norway; and as my oldest son was visiting me in Bergen this weekend, I suggested to him that we ascend Mount Løvstakken on this day. We went by car from my Bergen apartment to the valley between Mount Løvstakken and Mount Olsokfjellet, i.e. to a location called Melkeplassen, and started trekking from there. The trail that >>>
