Kvamsnova from Furnestreet

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:09t
Distanse:
8,6km

Most people visiting Kvamsnova (also referred to as Kvamsnovi) seem do so as an extended detour when visiting Store Dustingen/Dystingen . This route however did not look too appealing and I was therefore more eager follow in elbow (Vegard Magnussen) 's footsteps based on his trip report indicating an easier route from Furnestreet (or Fornestræet as it is now written on the map). The only issue was that getting to Furnestreet (and back home afterwards) by public transport is not straightforward (requires first taking the train to Bolstadøyri, waiting half an hour at the station, and then taking the bus to Furnestreet). I was therefore very happy when Kjell showed an interest in joining and we could travel by car. After leaving the car at the parking lot along the fjord (now partly occupied by the company working on Dalseidtunnelen), we crossed the main road and continued >>>

Nipa via Stegane from Matre

Dato:
05.11.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:42t
Distanse:
13,0km

Warning: This hike includes a steep ascent and a potentially very dangerous dam crossing. Read the report carefully and plan accordingly! An ascent of Nipa next to Hummelfossen in Matre had been on my list for a while but had always been postponed as it requires that the hike is preceded by an extended period with low amounts of rain. Something that is rather uncommon in this part of the country. However, after an unusually dry October, and with little to no rain for the first days of November, the conditions were finally right. I started by taking the express bus to Matre and from there walked north and then northeast along Stordalsvegen until arriving at Hummelfossen. Here I was glad to see that my predictions were right with Hummelfossen being almost completely without water, the importance of which will be revealed shortly, >>>

Tempelet, Håvegen søyle and Ljosvollsvarden

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:07t
Distanse:
9,8km

A Sunday hike in perfect late October weather with the main objective of visiting the small hill called Tempelet on the eastern side of Kalandsvatnet. Tempelet could easily be ascended from the north via a route that stayed just far enough from the surrounding houses for it not to feel like trespassing. Given the limited views, the most interesting feature at the summit was a small old bunker from the second world war. I did not stay long before returning the same way. Back at the main road I proceeded to follow it north to the unmarked start of the trail to Håvegen søyle . The trail itself was overall a bit on the weak side, however the direction was pretty obvious, and I quickly arrived at the small pass north of the ridge containing the trig marker. From here there was a weak trail along the ridge. Excellent views >>>

Given the excellent Friday weather forecast, and other engagements during the upcoming weekend, I decided to take the Friday off and go hiking in Ulvik. Once more I took the train to Voss (once again with bus-for-train between Bergen and Arna). Here I switched (back) to bus and headed for Ulvik, getting off at Sølva (just two stops after where I began my hike to Kjerringafjellet and Kvasshovden the previous weekend). The bus stop was right next to the start of the tractor road that I could pretty much follow all the way to the summit of Kongsberg . I only left the tractor road towards the very end to instead continue on an unmarked trail to a vantage point just south of the summit with spectacular views across Ulvik. From there a weaker trail could be followed to the highest point less than 150 meters further north. Ascending Kongsberg >>>
