Another bus trip from Bergen to Sveio. This time with the main goal of visiting Ramsfjellet with an added bonus of Ryvarden and Flokehyttene . I got off at the bus stop "Lindøy nord" and walked less than 250 meters southwest along the main road. Here I crossed a small field to reach a tractor road indicating the start of the trail to Ramsfjellet. The tractor road was however separated from the field by a small stream and the first trail marker did not show up until the tractor road later turned north. Hence, there might be a different "official" trailhead nearby. After crossing the stream I simply followed the faded white wooden trail markers with red dots all the way to the summit which was thus reached without any issues. Excellent panoramic views from Ramsfjellet. My attention however soon moved to a >>>

A return to Øygarden for a visit of the recently opened Rambua ( officially opened January 14th ). Started from the bus stop called "Blomvåg terminal" and planned to follow the suggested roundtrip from ut.no . I however missed the sign for the trailhead and continued further south than necessary. When the road later forked I also picked the wrong option (Fagerdalsvegen instead of Knarrvikvegen). In my defense the map indicated a trail at the end of both of these roads (and none from Stølemyrvegen where the real trailhead was located). But I shortly connected with the proper marked trail which I then proceeded to follow all the way to Ramboghøyen and Rambua. After briefly enjoying the excellent views, I continued south via Planteskogen before returning northeast. This time trying Knarrvikvegen, which towards the end consisted of a gravel-covered trail and thus >>>

Åsen and Solhaug

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:24t
Distanse:
9,5km

Started by taking the bus (or rather buses, four in total) from Bergen to Ulvik, and got off at the stop "Ulvik sentrum". The reason for starting my hike from there, instead of taking the bus all the way to the final stop at Hjeltnes, was that it would allow me to take full advantage of the available sunlight on this late January day (as analyzed in advance using ShadeMap ). Thus, I could enjoy the sunshine almost until starting the real ascent to Åsen . At Håheim I did an unnecessary detour, as I later discovered that the marked route to Åsen simply follows the road to Håheim and then south via a tractor road. Shortly after reconnecting with the main route, I continued on another tractor road south, forking right when the road split after just 50 meters, before finally turning southwest towards >>>

I took the bus to Fonnes and from there followed the suggested roundtrip via Vardetangen and Årvika. Overall a very nice hike along either roads with limited traffic or gravel-covered hiking paths. Excellent views along the way and from the westernmost mainland point in Norway . Highly recommended!

Skiing at Fløyen

Dato:

Turtype:
Langrennstur
Turlengde:
2:41t
Distanse:
13,7km

The first skiing trip of 2023! (Although not the first this winter .) Ok, but not great conditions. Even so, the skis came on just above the upper station of Fløibanen and stayed on until Smådiket (the small dam below Storevatnet), where the frequency of small rocks visible in the already rather thin layer of snow simply got too high. However, the skies were put back on between Munkebotsvatnet and the top of Øyjorden.

Local Sunday hike across Orretua to look for a trig marker north of the summit that knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) had detected as part of his search for such markers all over Bergen. The marker was located less than 50 meters from the trail, could be reached without any real issues and provided excellent views. After a quick visit to the summit of Orretua, I descended via Ravneberg and also included a revisit of the recently renovated Birkelid . On my last visit this cabin had been in a sorry state, but now it looked almost brand new!
