Storhovden, Midtfjellet and Rundemanen

Dato:
09.04.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:54t
Distanse:
20,0km

Started by talking the bus to Flaktveitrinden and walking to Søre Hjortland. There I followed a nice gravel road to the end, where I located two trails I assumed were both heading towards the top of Storehovden. I ended up taking the left one (see picture), and followed it almost all the way to the top, only taking a shortcut at the very end. There was practically no view at the top (something that was going to be a theme for the day, more on that later), but I'd still recommend a visit as the gravel road leading up to the trail was quite nice and it's an easy peak to get to. From the top of Storehovden, I followed a trail going southeast, hoping it would return me back to where I started the accent, which turned out to be correct. In other words, both of the potential trails located at the >>>

Straumsfjellet and Storhovden

7,9km

Short Saturday hike to cover two smaller peaks I had not yet visited. Started by talking the bus to Bjørndalsbakken and from there walking up Bjørgeveien. I then located the trail to Straumsfjellet and easily made it to the top. Decent views for such a small peak. From the top of Straumsfjellet I continued south to Bjørndalsskogen and then down to Bjørndalsvatnet. After reaching the northern end of Bjørndalsvatnet I followed the marked trail towards Krokatjørna, but after a while started looking for trails going in the direction of Storhovden. Did not find any clear trails, but found something I thought would take me in the direction of the top and tried to followed this one. The trail almost disappeared a couple of times (see picture), but also connected to/crossed other more easily visible >>>

Blåmanen from Kobbeltveit

Dato:
05.04.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:32t
Distanse:
14,4km

Started by taking the bus to Årstadveien and from there walking along Svartediket. A bit less than halfway up the road to Tarlebøvatnet, at Kobbeltveit, I followed the signs towards Blåmanen. This started out as a forrest road, but at the end turned into a steep trail. The trail took me almost all the way to the eastern top of Blåmanen, but I failed to find a trail taking me to the peak itself and ended up just trying to take the shortest path through the terrain. There are therefore probably easier ways to get to the top than the one I used. From the top I walked towards Rundemanen and quickly found a trail that I followed all the way until where Blåmanen meets Rundemanen, and then down to Brushytten and onwards to Munkebotn.

Ustetind from Kikut

Dato:
28.03.2017
Turtype:
Fjellskitur
Turlengde:
7:23t
Distanse:
28,4km

Eight degrees, sunny, almost no clouds, and close to no wind. Only the snow conditions could have been better, as for many sections of the trail we could see the ground through the snow, while for other parts the snow melting during the previous day had turned into ice overnight. Yet at other places we had to leave the trail completely for smaller detours to avoid larger wet areas. Luckily this greatly improved as the trip progressed. The first summit visited was Birgithovda , an easy to reach summit that is very close to the main winter trail. I had to remove my skis to reach the summit though, as all the snow had melted towards the summit. Even though this summit is relatively low compared to its surroundings, it still provided nice views as can be seen from the pictures. The trip quickly continued to >>>

Ruperanden from Kikut

Dato:
27.03.2017
Turtype:
Langrennstur
Turlengde:
1:38t
Distanse:
7,5km

Short skiing trip from Kikut to Ruperanden . The skiing conditions were poor at the start of the trip, where we had to look out for rocks sticking out of the snow in order to not damage our skis. But as soon as we hit the main skiing trail the conditions improved significantly. The wind started to pick up during the trip though. Tailwind on the way there and an even stronger head-wind on the way back towards Kikut.

Lyshornet and Vetla Lyshornet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:23t
Distanse:
6,1km

We started from the parking lot next to the Lysekloster Ruins . (Note that the number of parking spots is limited (less than 10?), so keep this in mind if doing this hike on a weekend with nice weather.) From there we followed the standard trail through the woods to the summit of Lyshornet . Snow started appearing at around 300 meters and from there on the trail was covered by snow and ice all the way to the summit. For return we decided to follow the advice of some fellow hikers and follow in their footsteps by taking a longer U-turn across Vetla Lyshornet (see map for details). This was a nice addition to an otherwise short hike. The trail was not always easy to locate though, so it was a good thing we had footprints in the snow to follow. In the end our U-turn ended up connecting with the end of the gravel road that we briefly crossed >>>
