After successfully ascending Slettafjell , I was transported across the fjord and dropped off at Øydvenstod. I then walked via Solhaug to the bus stop at Hjeltnes, from where I began my return journey back to Bergen. Igjen, tusen takk til Katrine med familie for hjelp med båttransport! :)

Slettafjell via Bagne

Fjelltur

Distanse:
6,5km

An ascent of Slettafjell had been on my wish list for a while, however getting there typically requires some sort of transportation across the fjord, as the alternative route from Langevatnet via Onen is rather long and cumbersome. My search for help with getting to the eastern side of Bagnsfjorden resulted in many interesting suggestions. The most unusual was to take advantage of the fact that there was a property for sale at finn.no that just happened to be located right next to the desired trailhead, with boat transportation provided for interested buyers! I however had to conclude that including an ascent of Slettafjell as part of a viewing might be a bit of a stretch. ;) The solution to the problem came through a friend of a colleague. She originated from Osa and was going to be staying there with her family for part of their summer >>>

After yesterday afternoon’s short ascent of Hålandshovda , it was time for a much more ambitious hike: following the mountain ridge on the south side of Åkrafjorden including at least seven peaks along the way. I had only been able to find a single report of a similar hike , but that one started from Langfoss and was thus longer than what the bus schedule would allow. (That there is no bus stop at Langfoss also did not help). I therefore looked into Bjørkestronda as a potential starting point and ascending via Viskjerstølen . The map here indicated a trail, but with its largely straight lines it looked more like a blueprint than a proper trail. It was also going through steep terrain which meant that if I lost the potentially weak trail, finding my own way could be difficult. That I could not find any information about anyone actually using this particular route >>>

9,0km

Based on last summer's successful peak bagging trip to Skånevik , I decided on a repeat this summer. I however moved my starting point slightly further south and booked a hotel room in Etne. After arriving by bus, I checked in to the hotel, left most of my luggage behind, and got on another bus to Håland with the goal to ascend Hålandshovda . I first made a shortcut via a tractor road to connect with Skålevikveien. This felt a tiny bit like trespassing and included going through two gates via an area that may be used for grazing cows, however there were thankfully none today. After a short walk along the paved road I then arrived at the marked trailhead and proceeded to follow the marked trail all the way to the large summit cairn. Spectacular views from the summit, which I enjoyed during a short break before returning the same way, >>>

Cycling: Salhus roundtrip

Dato:
10.07.2026
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
2:57t
Distanse:
39,1km

The usual cycling trip around Salhus, except for a short detour to Tellevik frisbeegolfbane. Here I also made a quick ascent of Storhaugen . The summit could be very easily reached but did not provide any views. There was however a small fenced-in water reservoir providing at least one interesting feature. Given its easy access, a PF of 19, and being just next to Tellevik frisbeegolfbane, Storhaugen was added as a new PB element.

Bjørnstølen and Livarden

Dato:

Turlengde:

Distanse:
8,1km

Before heading home from work I made a detour to Bontveit to visit Bjørnstølen - the first DNT cabin first in Bergen! The cabin can be easily reached from the bus stop/parking lot at Bontveit. First along a gravel road and then less than 500 meters on a good trail. With the main objective out of the way, I had planned to continue to Livarden via Nobbane and Slettegga but with the weather forecast now suddenly indicating heavy rain clouds coming in from the north, I decided to skip the latter two and instead head directly to Livarden. In the end, the intensity of the rain was not too bad and it pretty much stopped all together just as I arrived at the large summit cairn. For my descent I tried the route via Lavrinden. The start was marked but shortly after the trail disappeared. It later reappeared but was largely hidden underneath >>>
