Upon arriving at Skaret , I left my bike behind and followed the rough tractor road up to Vasstøltjørna. From there I followed the marked steep trail up Sandlopeskardet, taking me all the way to Hovlandsnuten , which offered the kind of views one often sees in guidebooks trying to attract tourists to visit Norway! In other words: spectacular! I could have enjoyed the views for the rest of the day, but I had other summits to visit and a ferry to catch. After a lunch break, I therefore continued to Etlådnefjellet , first along a trail, but it soon disappeared, and I ended up making my own way, visiting both the eastern 732 hill and the southern 737 hill, before finally heading to the summit itself. On most other hikes, the views from Etlådnefjellet would have been a highlight, but when compared to the spectacular views from Hovlandsnuten >>>

As part of the research for locating the cabins and cabins ruins mentioned in Bergensernes Fjellverden II, I also came across a location I had passed many times before but did not know the history of, namely Café Knatten . A new visit was therefore in order to take a closer look. The views are now of course more limited than what can be seen in the old pictures , especially towards Svartediket and Hardbakkedalen, but the views to the south are still pretty much intact. For an overview of the history of Café Knatten please see this excellent article in Årstadposten .

I was lucky to hitch a ride to the parking lot in Ardalen and therefore started my hike on the winding gravel road up to Herfindal. Note that while it is possible to drive further, i.e. all the way up to the parking lot at Herfindal, the narrow winding road with its limited spots for passing cars coming in the opposite direction may not be to everyone's liking. Upon reaching Budalen the wind picked up, and even though the weather was still very warm, I had to put on my jacket in order not to get cold. The snow also started appearing, and soon it was impossible to avoid. At Vardatjørnane the trail was crossing a small stream, which during the summer can probably be done without getting wet. Today that was not an option though due to all the melting snow. After crossing the stream, I left the >>>

My plan for this Sunday afternoon was to take the bus to Matre and from there walk west along the old road called Sognevegen, finally arriving at the trailhead for Nipa . However, when I got to the start of Sognevegen I was welcomed by a sign indicating that the road was closed due to the risk of landslides. Given that this was my only possible route to Nipa , there was nothing to do but to leave Nipa for a future hike. I still had more than 2.5 hours until the next (and final) bus back to Bergen though. After talking to some locals (that could inform me that Sognevegen had been closed just one week earlier - although it had always been prone to landslides), I settled on Øvredalen and a potential visit of Gråsida . Most likely a long shot, but there were really no other options to be found. The gravel road up Øvredalen made >>>
