On a windy Saturday where the only question was when it was going to start raining, I decided to go for a relatively local peak I had not yet visited, namely Skåpet , yet another minor summit on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I started by taking the bus to Gullbotn and from there headed north along Øyjordvatnet. After crossing a wooden bridge and passing a couple of cabins I managed to follow a weak trail that took me almost all the way to the summit. Granted, the trail was not always to spot, but it was clearly a trail and not just an animal track. The summit provided much better views than expected. I briefly considered continuing to Krånipa , but in the end returned along the same route. I figured I would also have the time for a visit of Svartliåsen though, another minor summit just east of the main road. This one was especially attractive >>>

Tverrmeisa and Livarden from Bontveit to Haukeland

For once I managed to leave work around four and hopped on a bus to Kaland skole that connected with another bus to Bontveit. This provided easy access to a minor summit I had passed close by in the past but not bothered to actually visit, namely Tverrmeisa . When the gravel road ended south of the summit there was even a sign for Tverrmeisa, but it seems like the trail this sign refers to is no longer there. At least the trail I was on soon rather took me up towards Slettegga . I therefore ditched the trail and simply made my own way to the highest point of Tverrmeisa. Much better views than expected, especially down to Haukelandsvatnet and even all the way to Arnavågen. The thickening fog did not help though, and I did not stay long before heading for the trail east of the summit and continue to Livarden . On the way >>>

Cycling: Håsteinen and Slettåsen

Distanse:
58,1km

After two days of hiking, I switched to cycling for the last day of the long weekend and I went for a trip to Hjellestad with the added bonus of also making a quick visit of Slettåsen - a minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list. I left the bike behind at the unmarked trailhead northeast of the summit. The trail quality was highly variable, especially for the later return, but (at least the start) the wet areas were covered by planks or pallets. From Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's trip report , I had gotten the tip to also visit Håsteinen . So when a sign for Håsteinen showed up, I followed a trail to a location that provided great views, especially for only being 45 meters above sea level. Next, I followed various trails towards Slettåsen, even passing a sign for Slettåsen. But there was no trail and the highest point was slightly further south anyway. As it turned >>>

Austrefjellet and Ådneburen from Meisdalen

Distanse:
17,1km

When my colleague yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) asked if I wanted to go hiking, I of course said yes and suggested Austrefjellet and Ådneburen in Masfjorden as our targets, partly as both of these are hard to reach by public transportation on my own and because I thought they should provide great views. Yehia picked me up at my place a bit after noon and we drove the around 1.5 hours to Andvika. Here we paid the 30 kr toll via Vipps and continued up the gravel road to the parking lot in Meisdalen . Walking up Meisdalen was a very nice start to the hike and we soon arrived at the marked trail for Ådneburen. We however decided to leave this one for later and instead continued southeast, still along a marked trail. When the trail split west of Ådnekvamssetret , we left the main trail and followed a weaker trail to the unnamed lake east of Ådnekvamssetret. Here the trail soon pretty much disappeared, but >>>

Sæterbøfjellet, Melsåta and Klovskardfjellet

A return to the island of Stord. The main goal today was to visit Melsåta , but partly as I need to get to a to a bus stop on the east side of the island for the bus back to Bergen, I decided to also include two summits on the Opptur Hordaland list. I started by taking the bus and ferry to Sandvikvåg, where I instead of waiting the 20 minutes for the bus towards Fitjar, I walked the short distance to the next bus stop at Sandvikvågvegen. After a bit of sightseeing via Fitjar and west of Storavatnet, I got off the bus at Heio, the last stop before the bus returned to the main road. Upon reaching the main road myself, I quickly crossed it and continued on the smaller road up towards Sæterbø where I located the marked trailhead. My first objective was Sæterbøfjellet , which was easily reached by following the marked trail, although >>>

Melstveitåsen and Økterberg from Fyksesundvegen via Berge

Turlengde:

Distanse:
9,3km

Earlier trip reports indicate that the summit of Melstveitåsen is a location that most hikers will probably not feel the need to visit. However, upon researching how to get to Melstveitåsen by public transport, I came across a suggested hike at ut.no promising excellent views from Økterberg , a location only 600 meters northeast of the summit, which I then of course had to add to my planned hike. But even with this addition, and the fact that my hike had to start from the bus stop at the main road, the hike would still be quite short. I therefore decided to add a sightseeing element and arrive at the trailhead via first taking the train to Voss and from there the bus via Granvin. This provided excellent views along the way, especially the drive along the fjords, and as a bonus made it into a roundtrip. Upon finally arriving at the bus stop >>>
