Kråkenipa from Lonevåg

Dato:
09.12.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:34t
Distanse:
9,4km

Ever since my initial attempt at ascending Kråkenipa was abandoned less than 100 meters from the summit due to lots of grazing horses, I knew that I at some point had to return to complete the job. A gray Saturday in December seemed like the perfect opportunity. With the hope that the cold weather and the layer of snow would ensure that the horses would be gone this time around, I therefore set off for Osterøy. I started by taking the bus to Myrsæter and walking down to the ferry at Breistein. After a short break, the ferry arrived to take me to Valestrand, from where I hopped on a bus to Lonevåg. As soon as I got off the bus at Lonevåg, it occurred to me that I of course could have taken the bus a couple stops further, but it simply had not crossed my mind, probably as I had been so focused on getting to Lonevåg in the first place. But in >>>

Fagerlifjellet from Gjetingsdalen

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
5,6km

For the second Sunday in a row, Petter and I returned to Jondal. This time our goal was to ascend Fagerlifjellet from Gjetingsdalen. After taking the ferry from Tørvikbygd to Jondal, we therefore continued south to Maurangerfjorden which we then proceeded to follow southwest to Gjetingsdalen. Here we quickly realized that there was a lot more snow than expected, but thankfully just below the amount that would have made it difficult for us to park at the open space close to the planned trailhead. After parking the car, we walked up the smaller road to Nedre Øyjorda, passed through a gate and continued up to Øvre Øyjorda. So far there had been some fairly recent footprints in the snow. We assumed that these would stop at Øvre Øyjorda, but luckily they continued across a small bridge just to the east and then >>>

Teglbu

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:33t
Distanse:
2,3km

Upon completing our hike to Gaddane and Hædna , we still had plenty of time before the ferry. I therefore decided to add a visit of Teglbu . So while Petter drove directly to Jondal, I was dropped off at the marked trailhead north of Teglhaugen. From there I could easily follow the marked trail to Teglbu. Before descending, I also made sure to visit the much better vantage point just west of the cabin which provided a nice overview of Jondal. Given that I had ferry to catch, and had to move fast, I ended up losing the marked trail at the start of the descent. Basically, I turned right (west/northwest) too quickly. And while I probably could have descended via this route as well, I concluded that I still had the time to search for the proper trail and it did not take long before I was back on track. The proper trail was steepish >>>

Petter picked me up at my place at 07:00 and together we drove the roughly 1.5 hours to Tørvikbygd, arriving around 20 minutes before the ferry was to depart to Jondal. After a short and windy ferry ride we followed the road east to Espeland where we turned northeast towards Vassendvatnet. This road was a toll road and we paid the 60 kr via Vipps before continuing to a parking lot at around 350 meters above sea level . As this parking lot mainly seems to be used as a starting point for skiing trips in the winter, we had it all to ourselves. We parked the car and briefly followed the road northeast before turning north and heading off-trail in the direction of the summit of Gaddane . There was a marked trail in the valley called Djupadalen between the two summits, however as following it would result in a bit of detour we instead opted for the more direct >>>

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 >>>

Left work early for a short hike with my colleague taking part in Stolpejakten (and concluded by walking home from Sandviken sykehus afterwards).

Nipa via Stegane from Matre

Dato:

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, >>>
