Given that Elsås, and thus Elsåsfjellet , is rather difficult to get to via public transport, I decided to try to starting from Skardet/Skare instead, where the buses are more frequent. And it started easy enough walking southeast along a nice gravel road. Within not too long I however arrived at a closed gate with a rather massive cow staring at me from the other side. After double checking that I was in fact looking at a cow and not a bull (as I could initially only spot one of them), I opened and passed through the gate, ensuring that it was safely closed behind me. I then noticed up to ten additional cows, but none of them seemed to mind me as I continued up the gravel road. Just before reaching the end of the gravel road I came across another cow, this one all on its own at the side of the road. Again, >>>

Cycling: Kalandsvatnet

56,9km

Too hot for extended hikes in Bergen at the moment, so I decided on cycling instead and completed a trip I had been thinking about for some time: cycling around Kalandsvatnet. Overall, a very nice trip that can be highly recommended with most of the cycling being on separate walking and/or cycling trails.

After Runemb (Rune Blomberg) recent addition of a new peak on the Bergen ≥ 50m pf. og ≥ 100 m.o.h. list , there was nothing to do but make a new hike to recomplete the list. Started by taking the bus to Bahus and following Engevikvegen northeast until reaching the lake at Engevik. No trails, but there were lots of deer tracks that could be followed to simplify the ascent. After the first relatively steep 100 meters it was straightforward to follow the ridge towards the summit with the terrain being more open than expected. This changed towards the end, where there were lots of medium high bushes. To avoid the densest area I went slightly north of the ridge and there happened upon a trig marker which also provided the best views of the hike. From the trig marker the summit was easily reached, but provided only limited views. Did not stay long before following more or >>>

Short skiing trip at Vikafjellet on the way home to Bergen from Sogndal. Not the best skiing conditions, and plenty of areas without little or no snow (including the summit), but still quite enjoyable and a welcomed break from the driving.

Solvornnipa from Barsnesfjorden

Dato:
20.05.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:35t
Distanse:
12,0km

Started from the private parking lot at the end of the gravel road on the south side of Barsnesfjorden. Followed the marked trail via Dal and Helgasete all the way to Solvornnipa . The trail was overall easy to follow and most of the snow was gone, except for 3-4 short stretches close to the summit. A slight haze made for slightly reduced views. After a quick lunch at the summit, I returned via the same route. Note that the road to where the trail starts is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.

Short hike to Flot following the marked trail on the ascent and the tractor road down to Barsnesfjorden on the descent. Note that there is no parking where the trail starts. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.
