Cycling: Ytstafjellet

Dato:
27.07.2023
Turtype:
Blandet sykling
Turlengde:
4:15t
Distanse:
52,1km

After a week of minimal activity due to a cold, I was finally feeling a bit better and decided to test my energy level with a cycling trip to Ytstafjellet . Besides the climb from Myrdalsvatnet to Totland/Riple feeling slightly harder than normal, I made it to the top of the gravel road right next to the highest point of Ytstafjellet without any real issues. Here I left the bike and completed the final less than 60 meters to the summit on foot. No views or any other interesting features to speak of, hence I quickly returned to the bike and proceeded to follow the nice gravel roads southwest, which provided some surprisingly good views towards the south. I then turned north and reconnected with the main road and completed the trip home to Lønborg.

Saurås søyle

Dato:
23.07.2023
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
0:26t
Distanse:
1,5km

Still very low on energy after two nights of little sleep due to a cold. More ambitious hiking plans were therefore replaced by a quick visit of Saurås søyle . Or at least that was the plan, but just as I got close to the trig marker it suddenly started pouring down and I had to run to find shelter. After waiting for several minutes, I gave up and returned to the bus stop at Åsamyrane. But at least I got close enough to take a picture of the trig marker.

Stemmedalshaugane from Fjelltveit

Dato:
21.07.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:15t
Distanse:
7,0km

I took the bus to Fjelltveit in Hauglandsdalen and from there followed a relatively new gravel road up towards Stemmedalshaugane , making sure to include a stop at the excellent views at Smogakampen . Before getting to Frotveitvatnet, I left the gravel road and crossed Frotveitelva via a wooden bridge and continued east along a weak and wet trail to the highest point at Stemmedalshaugane. I had originally considered doing a roundtrip similar to Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) (see his trip report here ), but given the wet conditions I instead returned the same way. Interestingly, at the summit I noticed the first red trail markers, red paint on the tree trunks, and for the descent I was actually able to follow these more or less all the way to the bridge.

On my way home from the trip to Marietoppen I made a short stop in Fjøsanger for a visit of Litla Langafjellet søyle . It could be easily reached via a trail crossing over the small hill. Afterwards I continued northeast to Kristianborg before taking Bybanen to the Bergen city center.

Short hike in Fana with the main objective of visiting Marietoppen . Limited views from the summit but lots of traces from World War II . The summit area could be reached from the south without any trespassing. After descending the same way I continued north along Fanafjorden.

Smøråsfjellet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
9,1km

A return to Smøråsfjellet to visit Bjørnevasskletten . When in the area I also passed by Storhaugen, Litlafjellet and Revhaugen, in addition to a revisit of Hamrefjellet , just in case any of these will be added as their own PB-elements in the future. Missed the bus at Valle by a couple of minutes and ended up walking to the Bybane stop at Skjoldskiftet.
