Bunuten and Vatnasetenuten

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
7:32t
Distanse:
22,2km

I started by taking an early train from Bergen to Voss and then the bus to Bu terminal just south of Hardangerbroen. Here I could have switched to a connecting bus heading towards Eidfjord, but I did not think of this until it was too late, and in any case it would only have saved me around 1 km along the paved road. After a short walk east on the separate cycling and walking path, I left the main road and followed a smaller side road via Indre Bu to the start of a tractor road west of Bugjelet. When the tractor road came to an end at a small stream, I easily crossed to the other side and continued on an initially marked trail. The markers soon disappeared though, but the trail was still generally easy follow. When getting close to the top of the pass, the trail split and I followed the option >>>

Jonstein roundtrip from Bottsvatnet

Dato:
02.11.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:26t
Distanse:
8,1km

Endre and I tried to make the most out of a window of nicer weather east of Bergen and decided on Jonstein as our goal. After the drive to Tørvikbygd and the ferry to Jondal we continued up Folgefonnvegen before following the smaller gravel road to the parking lot at Bottsvatnet (or Botsvatn as used on the information poster). We had considered to also include an ascent of Saksaklepp , but this could already be ruled out given that the road to the glacier was closed for the winter immediately after our exit to Bottsvatnet. After passing a locked barrier we proceeded along the gravel road to Skarvabotnen. Here the road turned into a marked trail that could be easily followed all the way to the summit, with the only challenging being the occasional patches of ice. Due to low-hanging clouds and a light snow shower, the >>>

Another Sunday hike with Endre , this time with the goal for me to complete the Kvam ≥ 100m pf. list . After the drive from Bergen, we parked at Hodnaberg and started on the trail towards Kiellandbu . In Hardingaskardet we however left the main trail and instead followed a weaker trail heading to Songrø before rounding Songrøvatnet on the western side and starting an off-trail ascent of Middagshorgi . On the way to the summit we got separated and thus chose two slightly different routes. In fact, I did not see Endre, or his footprints in the snow, until I got almost to the summit. My ascent route provided excellent views into Trongedalen and across to Kiellandbu but did require some easy scrambling that was turned slightly more tricky by the slippery conditions. Given that Endre had already visited the three summits east of Middagshorgi, he now returned >>>

Across Vidden

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
7:58t
Distanse:
17,0km

When my colleagues suggested that we take Friday off for a hike across Vidden, I of course did not need much convincing. Overall a very nice day for hiking but also a relatively cold experience due to the rather slow speed. Takk for turen!

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
9:09t
Distanse:
26,3km

I caught the first local train from Bergen to Ørneberget and was ready to start hiking shortly after nine. The trail from the train station down to Mjølfjell Ungdomsherberge had probably seen better days but did not present any challenges. I also made sure to have a quick look at Katteli , a cabin I had visited over three decades ago when being a pupil at Bergen Katedralskole. Next, I followed the gravel road south to Slondalsvatnet from where I continued via a trail along the lake to Slondal and to Brauåni as the sun was rising. South of Brauåni I started on what the signs called Fagerdalsrunden before later leaving this route at Kvitli. Here I crossed the stream via a small bridge and continued on a weak trail marked by cairns (although there probably could have been a couple more) up to Kvannjolevatnet. In order to continue the ascent from Kvannjolevatnet, >>>

Five summits north of Brekkedalen

Dato:
05.10.2025
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
7:45t
Distanse:
22,8km

For the second weekend in a row , Endre picked me up at my place in Lønborg shortly after 07:00 for a drive to Voss. This time we however continued northeast to Stalheim and Brekkedalen. Along the way we saw lots of traces of Amy - the storm that had passed over Hordaland the night before, and even had to avoid a wire stretched halfway across the road in order to get to Stalheim Hotel, but thankfully the trees that had blocked the road had already been removed. After paying the 50 kr toll at the start of Brekkedalsvegen we drove up to Tverraldskaret. Here we parked the car next to the road and then followed the gravel road back down to Kinnarbakken and onwards to Vikset. From Vikset we followed an unmarked, and at times quite weak (we lost it a couple of times), trail up to Viksetskaret. Here we turned west and headed off-trail to the summit of Solheimsfjellet , which provided excellent >>>
