Træshovden and Svartaberget

Distanse:
4,5km

Short evening hike with the main goal of visiting Træshovden . Instead of taking the most direct route to the summit, I first followed a trail along the ridge west of Ravnestølen, which later connected with the main trail to the summit. Overall relatively limited views from this minor detour, except for at the start when one could look back at Svartaberget and Lyderhorn . There was also one spot with good views towards the west, which is more than can be said of the summit of Træshovden. After returning to Ravnestølen, I made a revisit of Svartaberget, given that the views on my previous visit had been far from optimal. Today there were close to no clouds and I could fully enjoy the spectacular panoramic views! From the summit, I followed a trail towards the northern starting point of Knappetunnelen, passing by two of the >>>

We parked at Kvamsvegen P-plass and from there followed the gravel road up to Kvamsstølen. Here we passed through a gate and continued northwest on what was most likely the old road to Kvamsstølen. At Høgaleitet, southeast of the unnamed 243 hill, we turned west and followed a tractor road northwest towards the trail to Norhytten . However, we got fooled by the trail indicated on the map and continued too far along the tractor road. Instead of retracing our steps to locate the missed exit, we went for a shortcut following a deer track through the semi-dense vegetation, and had to climb a fence. When walking south along the fence we soon came across the gate we should have passed through, with clear trails in both directions. I took the short detour back through the gate to figure out where we had missed our exit. The >>>

Another hike in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) . This time exploring the small hills west of Gaupåsvatnet. I started by taking the bus and getting off at the stop called Spåkevegen. From there I easily located the old road taking me up towards Lyskasterbatteriet på Gaupåsen . On the way there I made a short off-trail visit of Kistehaugen to the south, which included a bit of backtracking as I realized too late that I ought to head there first, but was otherwise straightforward. Kistehaugen even included its own trig marker, however the views were very limited. Next up was Lyskasterbatteriet. An interesting location with the remains of old military installations, and with fitting live sound effects from the shooting range just north of Arnavegen. From there I continued towards Høgehaugen on a surprisingly good trail, albeit with limited views. The trail passed >>>

Lauvåsen from Lønborg

Turlengde:

Distanse:
13,6km

After Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's recent "discovery" of Lauvåsen , I of course had to make a visit. I started by walking along the roads from Lønborg to the unmarked trailhead right next to Vinddalsveien P-lomme . The trail was initially a bit weak, but soon it was easy enough to follow. I think I missed an exit somewhere though, as the trail I was on did not head towards the summit. I therefore made an off-trail shortcut and soon reconnected with a trail that took me all the way to the summit, which provided nice views, especially west across Jordalsvatnet and Eidsvåg. From the summit, I continued along the trail to the overhead power line to the south, where there was an excellent overview of Jordalen. Here I noticed that the trail continued east, and I saw an opportunity for an alternative route back to the road. Shortly I reached >>>

Nesevarden, Kleppavarden and Hovåsen from Kongsviktjørna

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:51t
Distanse:
5,1km

After finally arriving at the marked trailhead next to Kongsviktjørna, I left my bike behind (see separate report for the cycling here: Cycling: Neshamn ) and continued on foot along a very nice marked trail. It therefore did not take long before I arrived at Nesevarden , which provided very nice views, especially towards the south. The marked trail continued north/northwest to Kleppavarden , but the trail markers were here further apart and the trail quality also dropped a bit, with a several wet areas that had to be crossed. The summit of Kleppavarden was still reached without any issues. Limited views from the large cairn, but if moving just north of the summit pretty good view across Reksteren could be obtained, although today slightly reduced due to a haze left over from the low-hanging clouds earlier in the day. After a quick >>>

Tellevikafjellet and Veten from Salhus

Dato:

Turtype:

Turlengde:
5:46t
Distanse:
21,1km

The goal of this hike was to ascend Tellevikafjellet from Salhus. I therefore started by taking the bus to Salhus and the bus stop called "Slettebakken Tellevikvegen", which happened to be less than 200 meters from the unmarked trailhead at the end of a short side road that started directly from the bus stop. The trail was of good quality, even included several wooden bridges, and could easily be followed. At the third bridge, the trail split, and I followed the option heading southeast along the river up to Milastemma . Halfway in between Milastemma and Tellevikafjellet, I saw the tail end of the first viper, i.e. hoggorm, of 2021 as it disappeared into its hiding place close to the trail. It would not be the last of the hike though, but more on that later... After visiting both the trig marker at Tellavikafjellet >>>

Distanse:
5,8km

We parked at Utapåegga p-lomme where there was room for about three cars, and easily located the unmarked trailhead. After a steep start, we crossed an open field and passed through a gate to arrive at the start of an excellent trail that would take us up Utapåegga . This was clearly an old trail that had been used by the farmers in the area, something that became even more obvious when we passed by several unnamed ruins at about 250 meters above sea level. The trail could easily be followed all the way to Skylefonnstølen , and even seemed to continue from there towards Vossavardane NV . We considered heading that way ourselves, but in the end we decided to rather start our descent due to an increasingly cold wind. Throughout the descent we could enjoy the spectacular panoramic views towards the north. Overall, an outstanding hike that can be very >>>
