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 >>>

After several days of strong wind from the east, the weather finally improved enough to allow for proper mountain hiking. I therefore got up early Sunday morning and took the train to Voss (or to be more correct, bus-for-train to Arna and then train to Voss). Here I switched back to bus and continued in the direction of Ulvik. My plan was partially follow in the footsteps of Knut Sverre and Astrid based on their trip report from 2015 indicating a trail to Kvasshovden via Grostøl, mainly as this would save me almost 300 vertical meters compared to starting from the fjord at Ulvik. In advance I had figured out that the closest bus stop to the wanted trailhead was called Ulsberg, which would leave less than 600 meters to the start of a tractor road I had located on the map. This was apparently not a very commonly used bus stop though. Proven by the >>>

A wet and windy Sunday hike from Starefossen to Lønborg via Rundemanen with the main objective of visiting a small unnamed hill east of Store Tindevatnet that had been added as its own PB-element a while ago. The small hill was right next to the trail and could thus easily be reached but did not provide any unique views or other distinguishing features.

I started by taking the train to Voss and then the bus towards Granvin. The plan was to get off at Moo and start hiking from there. But even though both the online timetable and the information screen on the bus indicated that this should be ok, the bus driver had other ideas and was almost on his way into Tunsbergtunnelen before I managed to press the stop button just in time to get off at the final stop before the tunnel. (The same thing happened last year as well , hence it is probably a good idea to ask the driver in advance whether the bus is going through the tunnel or not.) After crossing the main road I continued northeast along a separate walking and cycling path that I later learned was the old route of the decommissioned Hardangerbanen , a local train route from Granvin to Voss. The walking and cycling path however ended >>>

Started by taking the train to Voss where I switched to bus and continued southeast in the direction of Granvin and getting off at the bus stop called Bjørgum. From there I followed the roads up to Fennastølen for the real start of the hike. The weather had gradually improved during the ascent, such that when I started the final off-trail ascent to Byrseteggi most of the clouds had disappeared and I could fully enjoy the beautiful fall colors. The map indicated a trail heading north from Fennastølen but I failed to find any traces of such a trail. However, the final ascent was still straightforward and it did not take long before I arrived at the summit of Byrseteggi. It provided excellent panoramic views, and a great overview of Horndalsnuten and the rest of Raundalsryggen to the northeast/east. Even though the >>>

Ever since my visit of Storås at the end of April, the plans had been ready for a return to Sveio to ascend the four remaining summits on the Sveio ≥ 100m pf. list . Other hikes had however gotten the priority since then but now it was finally time. I started by taking the express bus (and ferry) from Bergen to Sveio where I got off at the stop called Liavegen. From there I followed the smaller roads east towards the first goal of the day: Hovdafjellet . Very limited traffic, which was important given the lack of sidewalks, and great views along the way made this first transportation stage more enjoyable than expected. Upon approaching Hovdafjellet I followed the road until the final house west of the summit. Here I passed through a gate and followed various animal tracks to reach the summit without any issues (except for a barking dog that thankfully >>>
