Gråfjellet from Lussand

Dato:
18.04.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:25t
Distanse:
9,3km

After spending two days at a conference at Voss, most of my colleagues returned to Bergen shortly after the late lunch. I however decided to take advantage of the excellent weather and instead return to Bergen via a detour including an ascent of Gråfjellet in Granvin . When talking about my plans during the breaks at the conference I had managed to spike the interest of one of my colleagues, and after changing into our hiking gear we hopped on the bus to Lussand and were ready to start our hike shortly after 15:00. We started by walking southeast along the old main road south of Bjørgatunnelen before following the winding Fossdalsvegen, a steep private gravel road, up to the river coming down from Veslevatnet. Here we left the road behind, which towards the end had been covered by snow, and continued off-trail towards >>>

Åsheimveten from Åsheim

Dato:
16.04.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:44t
Distanse:
3,5km

After our visit of Kossdalssvingane we decided to add a short bonus hike to Åsheimveten before returning to Bergen. We first drove the short distance from Hosanger Montessoriskule up to Åsheimveten p-plass , thus gaining around 200 meters vertical elevation for free. After paying the 20 kr parking fee via Vipps, we followed a very nice trail all the way to the summit, which, as for my previous visit back in 2018 , provided excellent panoramic views. From the summit we returned along the same route back to the car, and thus concluded a great day of hiking at Osterøy!

With the excellent weather, I ventured slightly further today, including a visit of Ørneberget . Still low on energy, but at least I was not getting worse.

Lierfjellet, Vardafjellet, Dreng and Austvikfjellet

Turlengde:

Distanse:
13,8km

I started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Sveio and got off at Hanaleitet. This put me directly north of my first goal, namely Lierfjellet . After a short walk up the gravel road of Hanalio, I arrived at the trailhead for Lierfjellet. The trailhead itself was unmarked, i.e. no sign, but there were plenty of red painted markers to follow. Lots of wet and muddy sections early on, however this soon improved. (By following this marked trail, one also avoids the borderline trespassing via the two houses at the end of Hanalio that some other hikers seem to have used.) The red markers were not always the easiest to spot, although this was at least partly due to walking towards the low sun. There were also the occasional patches of ice that had to be navigated, but overall the summit was reached without >>>

Nesbjørghovda from Stussvikhovdatunnelen

Dato:
18.03.2023
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:10t
Distanse:
8,3km

After the hike to Stussvikhovda and Aldalsnuten , we drove the short distance to the crossroads just east of the start of Stussvikhovdatunnelen. Here we found parking at what Skyss refers to as Stussvikhovda snuplass and after a short walk north along the main road we were ready to start the ascent to Nesbjørghovda (which is incorrectly named Nesbjørhovda on PB). While most hikers seem to start their trip to Nesbjørghovda from Teiga southwest of the summit, and do not speak to highly of the route, I had come across a promising external trip report (scroll down until you find Nesbjørghovda) talking about a marked trail from the main road to the south. This would allow us to follow tractor roads for the first 2.5 km (blocked with a chain across the road early on), leaving only around 1 km on a marked trail to the summit. The first part was straightforward and we soon arrived >>>

Stussvikhovda and Aldalsnuten

Turtype:

Turlengde:
2:40t
Distanse:
5,5km

When initial plans to go skiing in Bergsdalen were cancelled due to increased avalanche risk and overall uncertainty about the snow conditions, we decided to instead take the ferry to Tysnes to hike at the Kvinnherad/Bjørnafjorden side of Lukksundet. First up was Stussvikhovda and Aldalsnuten . We left the car at the small parking lot at the marked trailhead at Stussvik and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the excellent viewpoint at Stussvikhovda . After a short break we continued north along a weaker, but at least partially marked, trail to the slightly higher Aldalsnuten. We first ascended the northern of the two hills with almost the same height, while I took a short detour on my own to the southern hill on the return. The southern hill had several contenders for the highest point, so to be safe I simply visited all of them. Excellent >>>

Dolvikhaugene and Knappen

Distanse:
5,8km

A short hike with the main goal of visiting Storåsen på Søreide at Dolvikhaugene, easily reached by passing through a small playground just south of the summit. Given that I was in the area I decided to also revisit Knappen including my first visits of both St. Hanshaugen and Knappen søyle . The hike was then concluded by a quick run to Sandeide terminal in order catch the bus back to the city center.
