Stemmesegga from Haus terminal

Fjelltur

Distanse:
10,2km

A revisit of Stemmesegga at Osterøy for the same reason as my recent revisit of Liafjellet , i.e. to make sure that I had in fact visited the highest point. I started from Haus bus terminal and from there took the steep shortcut via Nedre Verkane to Verkane before following the road up to the marked trailhead. The wet trail was largely covered by snow and thus most likely more difficult to spot than usual. I still managed to ascend to the summit area without too much trouble. The highest point was easily located around 140 meters north of the large cairn, a location I do not remember passing by on my previous visit. After a couple of pictures I descended southeast to Mjelddalen, where the final stretch took longer than expected due lots of traces of recent logging activity. I therefore did not make the planned bus and instead extended the hike >>>

Seimsheia from Arna stasjon

Dato:
28.12.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:03t
Distanse:
4,8km

Yesterday I noticed that five additional minor peaks had been added to the Alle topper i Bergen list . Just what I needed to generate the required motivation for a hike on yet another gray and wet day during my Christmas holiday. I settled on Seimsheia and started by taking the train to Arna from where I followed the roads until getting close to the summit. For the final 200 meters I followed various trails and thus arrived at the summit without any issues. The summit area showed signs of human activity including several swings and a plastic shelter but did not provide any views. From the summit I followed a wet trail to the road to the west and proceeded to follow the roads back to the train station . On the way I also made a short stop at the old train station . More information about the old station (in Norwegian) can be found here .

Engjeviksrinden and Høghaugen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:28t
Distanse:
4,9km

On Christmas Day I discovered that a total of eight new minor peaks had been added to the Alle topper i Bergen list during Christmas Eve. Perfect for exploration during a gray and wet Christmas holiday. I decided to start with the two new peaks east of Bahus and after a short walk along Engevikvegen, I left the road and completed the short final off-trail ascent to the summit of Engjeviksrinden . There were plenty of deer tracks and the highest point was thus easily located. The limited views however made for a short visit. I returned to the road via a more direct route and immediately started the ascent to Høghaugen via various deer tracks that took me almost all the way to the summit. Here there were at least three competing highest points, hence I simply visited all of them. Limited views here as well, although the low-hanging clouds >>>

Liafjellet and Havrheia

Dato:
23.12.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:47t
Distanse:
5,5km

A revisit of Liafjellet in Os due to the summit recently having been correctly moved around 70 meter east form the large cairn to a small hill next right next to the trail that is about 2 meters higher. The exact highest point is not straightforward to identify due to the relatively dense vegetation but at least the summit area is easy to get to. After visiting the most likely summit locations I continued to the large cairn before doubling back and starting my descent via the small hill Havrheia . Note that while the map does not indicate a trail across Havrheia, I was in fact on a trail the whole time, and at the end connected with the gravel road down to Ytre Moberg. From there I followed the roads to Osøyro for the bus back to Bergen.
