Bogsnesåsen

After the visit of Kaldestadåsen , we had initially hoped to also have the time for a visit of Vikefjell , but in order to not take any chances with the ferry, we decided to instead just had straight for Bogsnesåsen . We parked at the small parking lot just southeast of the summit and briefly walked west along the paved road before following a gravel road to the unmarked trailhead. The trail was also unmarked but easy to follow and it did not take long before we arrived at a rather uninteresting summit with very limited views. Hence we did not stay long before descending. Shortly after, we concluded that an earlier ferry from Årsnes, which had been considered at the start of the ascent, would not be possible after all. At the first opportunity we therefore turned north to extend the hike and explore the area further. (Note that >>>

With the ascent of Brattåsen , we had visited all of the five peaks at Halsnøya. We still had time before the planned ferry from Årsnes to Gjermundshamn though and decided to continue our peak bagging across the fjord. After passing through the tunnel to the mainland we found parking at the marked trailhead for Kaldestadåsen from Pollen (or Podlen on the signs). First, we briefly walked along a gravel road before turning onto a marked trail that would take us all the way to the summit. Excellent views across Husnes, and towards our next goal of Bogsnesåsen , from the summit. We initially descended along a slightly different route that later merged with our ascent route. Overall, a nice but steep hike that can be recommended.

After visiting Sundnessåta , Landåsen , Ravnakulten and Toftåsen , we now only had one summit left at Halsnøy, namely Brattåsen . From Toftåsen we drove west to Haugane and Verdens Ende, passing Halsnøy kloster , and found parking close to the end of the road. We continued northwest on a marked trail that soon turned north and took us all the way to a tree-covered summit with next to no views. We therefore did not stay long before returning along the same route. Clearly the least interesting of the five summits at Halsnøy, but at least it can be reached without any issues.

After completing our hike to Ravnakulten , we drove northwest to Tofte, parked at Stedle parkering and began our ascent of Toftåsen . There was a tractor road that could be followed all the way to the summit, hence the ascent was the most straightforward of the day. Excellent views along the way and from the summit though, thus a short but very nice hike.

From Landåsen , we headed southeast to Djupevika where we easily located the small parking lot at the start of the route to Ravnakulten . First, we followed a tractor road southwest before forking right (west) when spotting the first white plastic trail marker. This took us onto an older tractor road which we proceeded to follow until reaching a second crossroads. As we could not see any trail markers we checked previous trip reports which all seemed to fork right (north) and head towards Dommedalshaugen before turning west towards the summit. We did the same and although the trail briefly turned weaker we had no issues finding our way. Later the trail quality however greatly improved and from there on it was straightforward to reach the summit which provided great views north. (Before descending, we also made a quick visit to an alternative >>>

After visiting Sundnessåta , we drove the short distance north to the small parking lot south of Landåsen . From there we followed a tractor road almost all the way to the summit which turned into a trail towards the end. Rather limited views, both from the summit and along the way, hence we did not stay long before following an alternative and slightly more direct route back to the car. Interestingly, this alternative route was marked by an arrow at the summit and was overall easy to follow, but it was not indicated on the map displayed at the trailhead. Overall, not the most interesting hike, but at least it was straightforward to reach the summit.

Another Sunday of hiking with petter (Petter Bjørstad) . This time we decided to stay below the snow and head to Halsnøya and Husnes in Kvinnherad. Petter picked me up at 06:00 and we arrived at Gjermundshamn with plenty of time to spare for the first ferry to Årsnes at 07:45. At 09:00 we were finally ready to start hiking towards Sundnessåta . Marked and easy to follow trails all the way to the summit, with a short steep section at the end. Limited views from the summit itself, but much better views could be obtained from just southwest of the summit and from a viewpoint further northeast. From the summit we returned along the same route to the parking lot. A nice short hike that can definitely be recommended.

After work I took the bus to Sædalen for a short hike via Gløvrehaugen back to Haukeland sykehus. Including a visit of Gløvrehaugen søyle and a (for me) new trail starting from the top of Sædalssvingene.
