Distanse:
32,9km

Started the weekend early to join my dad in trying out the new Fyllingsdalstunnelen, the world's longest cycling tunnel, which opened less than a week ago. It provides a 3 km shortcut to Fyllingsdalen underneath Løvstakken. We also tried the other new related cycling paths alongside Store Lungegårdsvannet and the new (much shorter) cycling tunnel at Kronstad/Årstad, and included a short trip around Orrtuvatnet before returning more or less the same way.

After spending two days at a conference at Voss, most of my colleagues returned to Bergen shortly after the late lunch. I however decided to take advantage of the excellent weather and instead return to Bergen via a detour including an ascent of Gråfjellet in Granvin . When talking about my plans during the breaks at the conference I had managed to spike the interest of one of my colleagues, and after changing into our hiking gear we hopped on the bus to Lussand and were ready to start our hike shortly after 15:00. We started by walking southeast along the old main road south of Bjørgatunnelen before following the winding Fossdalsvegen, a steep private gravel road, up to the river coming down from Veslevatnet. Here we left the road behind, which towards the end had been covered by snow, and continued off-trail towards >>>

Bordalsgjelet from Voss train station

When spending two days at a conference at Voss, I took advantage of an extended break before the evening's dinner for a visit of Bordalsgjelet . The route to Bordalsgjelet is marked with signs all the way from Tintrabrui , however I somehow missed the first sign and ended up with an alternative route via Gjernesvegen. More or less the same distance, but more traffic and no sidewalk until the road turns north, hence I would recommend using my return route in both directions. Before crossing the bridge across Bordalselvi, I followed a sign to a viewpoint northwest of the bridge that provided a nice view across what I guess one can call the end of Bordalsgjelet. I then continued to the parking lot and from there followed the trail into Bordalsgjelet. Note that while this trail has safety railing, it is still closed during the winter, >>>

After our visit of Kossdalssvingane we decided to add a short bonus hike to Åsheimveten before returning to Bergen. We first drove the short distance from Hosanger Montessoriskule up to Åsheimveten p-plass , thus gaining around 200 meters vertical elevation for free. After paying the 20 kr parking fee via Vipps, we followed a very nice trail all the way to the summit, which, as for my previous visit back in 2018 , provided excellent panoramic views. From the summit we returned along the same route back to the car, and thus concluded a great day of hiking at Osterøy!

A return to Osterøy for a visit of Kossdalssvingane . We parked outside Hosanger Montessoriskule and started on the indicated roundtrip around Holevatnet before heading southeast along Kossdalsvatnet to arrive at the bottom of the very impressive Kossdalssvingane. After ascending to the top of the 17 steep hairpin turns we continued southeast to the upper parking lot before returning the same way, however this time following the gravel road on the west side of Holevatnet and completing our roundtrip. In summary, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended!
