Kubrekka from Nedre Sandven

Dato:
11.01.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:52t
Distanse:
4,8km

When my initial plan to ski across Vidden was cancelled after seeing a picture of how little snow was left at Rundemanen , I instead went for yet another minor peak on the Alle topper i Bergen list , namely Kubrekka . I started from the bus stop at Nedre Sandven and from there followed the snow-covered gravel road north until being less than 200 meters from the summit. I then put on the gaiters and headed off-trail towards the summit in knee-deep snow. As I got closer to the summit the deep snow was replaced by a dense forest of spruce trees with tons of dry branches trying to block the way. The summit itself had no views and is generally of no interest to normal hikers. I returned the same way and then took the bus back home from Øvre Sandven.

Søyleåsen and Storeklubben

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:39t
Distanse:
5,0km

A short winter adventure in Arna to ascend two recently added peaks on the Alle topper i Bergen list . I got off the bus at "Haukeland sør" and after a short walk south along the main road I started my ascent to Søyleåsen , first along the road up to the house south of the summit and then off-trail in knee-deep snow to the highest point. No views from the summit but a nice view across Søylevatnet could be obtained further south. I followed my footprints back to the main road and then headed east to Eikeli and Storeklubben . The area on the west side of the road north of the houses was blocked by an electric fence and I therefore continued another 200 meters before beginning my off-trail ascent, also here in deep snow. The summit was easily reached and was thankfully just outside the fenced area. Limited views and I quickly returned >>>

Stemmesegga from Haus terminal

Dato:
30.12.2024
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:21t
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:
26.12.2024
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 >>>
