Morkafjellet from Verpelstad

Dato:
18.01.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:56t
Distanse:
7,0km

After three days on the couch due to a bad cold, I recovered just in time for a short Saturday hike to Morkafjellet with Petter and Endre . Petter picked me up at my place at 08:00 and we met up with Endre at the surprisingly large parking lot at Verpelstad a bit more than an hour later. Thanks to an external report we easily located the unmarked trailhead behind the houses just northeast of the parking lot and from there followed a partially marked trail all the way to Verpelstadstølen (except for doing our own "shortcut" just below the cabin when briefly losing the trail, see the return track for the correct route). From Verpelstadstølen there was a weaker trail up the first steep slope but soon we were simply making our own way towards the summit. There were several large patches of snow that had to be crossed but there was significantly less snow than expected for the middle of >>>

Kubrekka from Nedre Sandven

Dato:

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

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 >>>
