Bjedlastølen from Åsen to Bjella

Dato:
31.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:01t
Distanse:
4,2km

Short hike from Åsen p-plass to Bjella via Bjedlastølen with the main objective of looking for blueberries and cloudberries. In the end, the former was much more successful than the latter. Marked and easy to follow trails.

Austerdalsbreen from Tungestølen

Dato:
26.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:49t
Distanse:
11,7km

The initial plan of cycling along Veitastrondsvatnet was at the last minute replaced by instead driving to Tungestølen which meant that the trip could more easily be extended with a hike up to Austerdalsbreen . Note that the road to Veitastrond from Hafslo passes through several tunnels, varying in standard from relatively new to old and narrow without any lighting. When cycling it is however possible to avoid all but a very short one by using the cycling paths, i.e. the old road. After enjoying the nice views along Veitastrondsvatnet, and paying the 70 kr toll at Høgebru bom (after finally managing to get a decent 4G connection allowing us to pay via VIPPS), we arrived at the parking lot next to Tungestølen . From here we continued on foot along the trail to Austerdalsbreen . The trail was easy to follow, with wooden bridges when needed, and we soon arrived at the Slingsby-monumentet . Sadly >>>

Børesteinen from Berge

Dato:
25.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:13t
Distanse:
5,1km

Based on a tip from my sister, we drove from Sogndal to Luster for a hike up to Børesteinen . A location that promised spectacular views. Upon arriving at Luster, we continued up the narrow and steep private gravel road to Berge, something we would not have done had we not known about the small private parking lot up there with room for maybe 4-5 cars. Here we happily paid the 50 kr parking fee via VIPPS and started on the marked trail to Børesteinen. Note that if you do not feel like taking a chance on the private road up to Berge, there is also parking down by the main road with a marked trail up to Berge. But this of course adds another 370 vertical meters to the hike. The trail from Berge was steep but of good quality and easy to follow. There were also several less steep sections, most notably when the trail made a detour >>>

Vardafjellet from Svortland

Dato:
21.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:55t
Distanse:
2,9km

After the visits of Siggjo and Furufjellet , I cycled to Svortland where I easily located the gravel road referred to as "Lysløypa til Fet", which I then proceeded to follow, still on the bike, to the marked trailhead for Vardafjellet . Here I left the bike and continued towards the summit on foot. The trail was easy to follow, with small wooden bridges across the wet areas and signs showing the way. I therefore quickly arrived at the summit, which provided excellent panoramic views, especially for such a modest peak of only 164 meters above sea level. From the summit I returned along the same route for the bike ride back to Rubbestadneset and the boat home to Bergen.

Furefjellet from Åreiddalen/Finnåsvatnet

Dato:
21.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:41t
Distanse:
2,0km

After descending from Siggjo (see separate trip report here ), I cycled about 300 meters north to the unmarked trailhead for Furefjellet . Here I again left the bike behind and continued on foot along a rough tractor road, i.e. bringing the bike was clearly not an option. After twice crossing an electric fence set up to keep the cows from wandering off, I easily located the marked trail for Furefjellet where it departed from the tractor road. The trail was marked with the now familiar wooden sticks tipped with red paint and also the pink ribbons. In fact, the markers had been there all the way from when the first crossing of the electric fence. While the low vegetation was partially hiding the trail at times, it was overall easy to follow and made it straightforward to reach the summit. The summit itself was not marked, although I did discover >>>

Siggjo from Åreiddalen/Finnåsvatnet

Dato:
21.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:15t
Distanse:
5,8km

After cycling from Rubbestadneset to the unmarked trailhead for Siggjo in the valley between Siggjo and Furefjellet , I left the bike behind and continued towards the summit on foot following a trail marked with wooden sticks tipped with red paint. (At the start the trail was also marked with pink ribbons, but these soon departed from the main trail, and the one indicated on the map, and I continued following the wooden sticks.) The trail was easy to follow as it winded its way up to the summit, which was therefore reached without any difficulties. Especially the last part was very nice, i.e. when getting above the tree line with the views greatly improving. As expected, the panoramic view from the summit was spectacular with unobstructed views in all directions. After a short break, and lots of pictures, I descended along the same route.

Båtevassfjellet from Einestranda

Dato:
19.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:55t
Distanse:
14,5km

I started by taking the bus (or rather buses, four in total) to Einestranda. Here I managed to get off one stop too early. I think I can be excused by the fact that this particular stop, while having its own bus stop sign, does not appear in the list of bus stops at skyss.no. In any case, it was only a short 250 meters walk to the correct stop. Next, the unmarked trailhead for Båtevassfjellet was easily located just before crossing the river at Einestranda. The trail itself however was marked, and the first trail marker could be spotted from the trailhead. After a short detour following some trail markers on the north/west side of the river, I retraced my steps and crossed the river via a concrete bridge, and quickly picked up the trail markers on the other side. From there on the trail was overall easy to >>>

Vestrefjellet and Snjonipa roundtrip from Tyssebotn

Dato:
16.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
8:22t
Distanse:
24,5km

I started by taking the first bus to Tyssebotn on a Friday morning, where I was the only passenger on both the bus and the ferry from Breistein to Valestrand. From Tyssebotn, I walked along the road to the trailhead for Gammersvik south of Kleiveland. I proceeded to follow this unmarked but easy to follow trail to Vaultjørna. After a quick visit to Vaulelvbrua to check that both it and the trail on the other side was there and of ok quality (as it would be quite important when later returning along that route), I backtracked about 100 meters to a trail/deer track I had noticed just after crossing the small stream north of Vaultjørna. By following this track, I easily ascended the initial steep section on my way northeast towards Vestrefjellet . The track however soon more or less disappeared, and I was left making >>>

Four small hills south of Småvatnet and Storavatnet

Dato:
11.07.2021
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:31t
Distanse:
8,5km

On a hike with the main objective of visiting Grønabrekka , a recent addition to the Alle topper i Bergen list, I took the opportunity to explore the area south of Småvatnet and Storavatnet. This resulted in visiting three additional small hills, all with their own name, namely Myraskjena , Mathopsskjenet and Storhaugen , each now added as its own PB-element. To my surprise, all four summits, except for Storhaugen (which only required a very short off-trail detour), could be reached simply by following the many trails in the area, which were overall of good quality (even those not indicated on the map). This made for a much nicer hike than expected, despite the relatively limited views from most of the summits. Update: two additional small hills that I happened to visited were later added (not by me) as their own PB-elements, namely N for Medhaugsflaten and NØ for Ytste Rotatjørna .
