Dagsturhytta i Arna

Fjelltur

5,3km

The last hike of 2023 went to the new dagsturhytte in Arna. According to the information I had found online, this should simply be a matter of taking the bus to Hølbekken and following the signs from there. However, as the cabin was not yet officially open (should be so from early 2024) the signs were still wrapped in black plastic. But except for a crossroads at the very start where the sign was supposed to indicate whether to turn right or left, the wrapped signs could still quite easily be followed, and after passing Eikestølen there were even two signs without wrapping. From there on I followed an unmarked trail all the way to the yet unnamed cabin (during the later official opening in February 2024 it was named Ådnabu ). There was some ice along the way but overall it could be avoided without too much trouble. The >>>

Back in Bergen after a couple of days at Golsfjellet. With trails and roads still covered by ice, I decided on a short local hike just to enjoy the setting sun.

When preparing for the morning's skiing trip we had noticed that the cabin lacked a map of the skiing trails at Golsfjellet. After a late lunch we therefore took a walk down to Bualie where we luckily got our hands on the last available winter map before returning the same way.

Brief visit of the train station at Gol when switching from train to car on the way from Bergen to a cabin at Golsfjellet my sister and her family were renting. As it happened, our train was one of the last that made it to Myrdal before a large avalanche west of Hallingskeid would block the tracks for almost a day.

A short hike on a wet and foggy Sunday with the main objective of visiting an old trig marker next to the dam at Svartediket . Getting to the trig marker was easier than expected (probably due to my expectations being quite low). Limited views and not much interest for the average hiker though. Before returning to the road I also explored some steps that, combined with additional wooden steps, led to one of the large masts supporting the overhanging power lines just south of the trig marker. The hike was concluded by walking to the city center, including a stroll through Assistentkirkegården .

A return to Birkelandsfjellet for a visit of the trig marker west of the summit . It had been raining all day, but I managed to find a short opening just before it got dark. However, I had not fully considered that the limited light would be further reduced by the dense forest, and therefore did not bring my headlamp. As a result, the steep descent to Kirkebirkeland ended up being slightly more challenging than expected.
