Ever since I ran out of time three weeks ago , it felt like I had some unfinished business in Granvin. At the first opportunity I therefore once again took the train to Voss and the bus to Bulkokrysset with the plan to finally ascend Skamdalshorgi . My plan almost got off to a bad start though, as the bus from Voss for some reason did not leave the main road for the detour around Tunsbergtunnelen, thus skipping the bus stop at the start of Bulkovegen that I had gotten off at last time. But thankfully I realized this change just in time and managed to get off the bus before it actually went through the tunnel. With this initial scare out of the way, I walked the short distance to the start of Bulkovegen and proceeded to follow it south to the unmarked trailhead for Skamdalshorgi just north of the summit. (Note that while most of the parking >>>

Gjøvågsfjellet

3,4km

After cycling from Våge , I left my bike at the marked trailhead for Gjøvågsvarden and continued on foot along the marked trail. I quickly arrived at the trig marker indicating the summit and could enjoy its excellent panoramic views. However, earlier studies of the map had indicated that there was a slightly higher hill around 300 meters further south, and there was even a trail heading in this direction. I therefore continued along this trail, which, while a bit weaker than the trail to the trig marker, easily took me all the way to the small cairn marking this alternative southern summit. No sign next to the cairn itself, but just to the southwest there was a sign with the name Stålhuo, but whether this is the name of the summit or just the adjacent viewpoint I am not sure. In any case, I had now definitely visited the highest point of Gjøvågsfjellet  >>>

Distanse:
10,2km

After visiting Borninolten (plus Gråfjellet for Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ), we drove the short distance to Moseheia where we parked at an unmarked trailhead after first passing through a gate. Unlike the earlier gate at Skarvastølsvegen, this gate did not say anything about limited access, but the parking lot itself was intended for the cabin owners only. There was however plenty of free spaces and we therefore took the chance to leave the car there for our short hike to Såta . While the trailhead was unmarked, we would soon come across colored trail markers and the trail was, at least initially, of good quality. The trail forked twice and each time we continued on the option heading up Bergsskaret. But when the trail turned weaker and started descending, we instead simply headed off-trail across Brunane towards Såta. This required a bit of >>>

Distanse:
6,5km

After yesterday's long hike in Modalen , me and Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) decided on a shorter trip the next day. We ended up with Bergsdalen, as it required much less driving and included several easily accessible summits that neither of us had yet visited. We started by driving to Bergsvatnet and had intended to cross the bridge next to Bergsfossen where a small parking lot was indicated on the map. But at the end of the bridge there was a gate with a sign stating that continuing was only allowed if given permission. There was however room for a couple of cars next to the main road at the start of the bridge, hence we left the car there and continued on foot. It did not take long before we came across a trail for Skarvavatnet which we then proceeded to follow assuming it would take us at least part of the way to Borninolten . Soon we however split up as Endre >>>

Four summits around Norddalshytten from Åsabotnen

Distanse:
32,3km

In the first joint hike with Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) in almost exactly one year, we decided on the north of Modalen as our target area and hoped to get the time to visit all of the four summits around Norddalshytten . At the north end of Steinslandsvatnet we therefore continued northeast on a gravel road taking us up to the dam at Stølsvatnet. Here there was a parking lot for hikers, but as the road continued climbing, and was still of good quality, we continued north, making it to the unnamed small 895 lake in Åsabotnen before finally parking the car next to the road. Turned out that we could probably have continued around the next bend, but there the road was slightly rougher and it was only a matter of maybe 700 meters to the end of the road anyway. The marked trailhead at the end of the road was easily located and we followed >>>

For the third weekend in a row I returned to Voss, but this time on my own and not as part of an organized hike. I started by taking the train to Voss and the bus towards Granvin, getting off at Bulkokrysset. From there I followed the road up to the large parking lot at Madshaugen where I easily located the unmarked trailhead for Høgahorgi . Note that Høgahorgi is also referred to as Nesheimshorgi, where Nesheimshorgi seems to refer to the whole mountain while Høgahorgi to the highest point. The initial trail quality was very good, but this only lasted until passing the first cabin. After that the trail turned wet and muddy, and I quickly gave up keeping my feet dry. I soon came across another hiker and took the chance to ask for some trail advice, where the most important was to make sure to visit Horganipen for the best >>>
