Flot

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:25t
Distanse:
3,5km

The standard walk across Flot with family members including kids, hence the numerous breaks and slow speed. :) (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)

Stav from Hella

Distanse:
24,7km

On what would turn out to be a perfect day for hiking, me and my niece started the day by taking the first bus from Sogndal to Hella, where we planned to get off at the stopped called "Hella indre". But for some reason the bus driver did not stop (even though we pressed the stop button), and we therefore had to walk the 800 meters back from the Hella. Here we easily located the marked trailhead for Vassvarden and proceeded to follow the nice winding trail up towards Vestrheim. At Vestrheim we came across the old school building and a sign pointing left (i.e. west) for Ruud (or Rud as it was called on the map), our next target. However, this trail quickly started descending and seemed to be heading in the wrong direction. We therefore shortly returned to the old school where we found another >>>

Ovriseggi

3,7km

On the way from Bergen to Sogndal we stopped at the start of the descent to Vik for a quick visit of Ovriseggi . Note that the right-hand turn into Ovridseggi parkering is partially hidden when coming from the south and requires a steep turn. From the parking lot we followed the marked trail north along the ridge, with excellent views into Ovrisdalen. The trail had some wet areas, but was otherwise straightforward to follow. Just before reaching the summit of Ovriseggi, we had to descend relatively steeply into a small valley before making the final ascent to the highest point. This potentially slippery section can however easily be avoided by following the alternative trail to the west (see the return route). The summit provided excellent views down into Bøadalen, although Vik itself was partially hidden by Daurmålshaugen . The trail >>>

Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes Stage 7 and 8, the two final stages, from Myrdalsvegen to Tellevik kai. See my reports for the previous stages here: Stage 1 and 2 , Stage 3 and 4 , and Stage 5 and 6 . Stage 7: Myrdalsvegen to Støbotn From the marked trailhead at Myrdalsvegen the trail winded its way up towards Ulsetvarden , making several odd turns along the way. Thankfully all of them were clearly marked, as the trail itself was rather weak at the start. It also turned relatively muddy before reaching the summit. Ulsetvarden provided nice views back towards Åsane and also northwest in the direction of Toppe. The trail northwest from Ulsetvarden to the >>>

A hike with two colleagues starting from Øyane p-plass and from there following a tractor road up Øyadalen to Dalastølen, and then a marked trail along the river to Gavvatnet. Nice steady ascent with only a short steeper section towards the end. At Gavvatnet, my two colleagues stayed behind for an extended lunch break while I waded across the river to continue on my own to Brattanakken . First ascending steeply towards Geitahaugen, before turning southeast for the summit of Brattanakken when the terrain turned less steep, and reaching the summit without any difficulties, which provided nice views in all directions, including an unusual view of Storenipa . I returned to my colleagues along pretty much the same route, and together we continued on the marked trail to Hesjedalsstølen via Øyastølen. We did not go all the way to Hesjedalstølen >>>

Såta from Sævellvegen

Turtype:

Distanse:
9,4km

Started by taking the bus to Sævill/Sævell and from there walking along the (first tarmac, then gravel) road to Kjøpmannavadet Parkering . This took me about half an hour, leaving roughly 1.5 hours for both the real hike and the return to the bus stop. Based on the previous PB-reports to Såta , I decided to follow in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) , and easily located the indicated trailhead just north of the parking lot. The trail was rather weak though, and soon turned into something looking much more like deer tracks. In any case, following these greatly simplified the ascent and also kept the bush wars to a minimum. And combined with Kjell's GPS track, it made it straightforward to reach the summit. Except perhaps for the very last bit, where a minor fight with the already mentioned bushes was required. Limited views from the summit, >>>

Jubileumsstien Jubileumsstien is a new trail (or mainly a combination of existing trails) that makes it possible to hike across Bergen, from Krokeide in the south to Tellevik in the north, a total distance of about 55 km. This hike includes Stage 5 and 6: Søylen to Myrdalsvegen. Stage 5: Søylen to Rolland After an overall disappointing start to Jubileumsstien (see my earlier reports here and here ), I was back at Søylen, hopeful that the next stage would be better. From the large information sign marking the start of Stage 5, I easily located the marked trailhead less than 50 meters up the road. The trail itself was less easy to see though, as it was of rather poor quality (even included two potentially dangerous metal wires stretched right across the trail). But after about 200 meters or so the trail thankfully connected >>>

After our roundtrip to Gleinefjellet, Sætrefjellet and Gråsida , me and Endre decided to make a quick stop on the way back to Bergen to visit Setrelifjellet . As most other hikers, we started from the small parking lot next to the main road and passed by the red cabin on our way northwest. The ascent was steep, but with only one spot requiring light climbing (which can easily be avoided, as we discovered on the descent). There were traces of a weak trail, but there was not much difference between following the weak trail or not. We quickly arrived at the summit, which provided views back towards all of the peaks we had visited earlier in the day. Slightly northwest of the summit, there were also nice views down to Haukeland and towards Kvernhuselva in the distance. From the summit we followed more or less the same route back down. Being careful to avoid the steepest >>>

Another trip with Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) . The first in over half a year. This time starting with three peaks in Masfjorden and more or less following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) . We began our hike from Sætrefjellet P-plass , which we today had all to ourselves and from there followed the trail to Gleinefjellet . The trailhead is marked from the parking lot, but other than that there were no trail markers. Not the best views from the summit itself, and not helped by the low-hanging clouds either, with slightly better views towards Matresfjorden/Masfjorden just west of the summit. We did not stay long before returning along the same route to the valley called Snjogilen and from there starting our ascent to Sætrefjellet , making a short detour to a nice viewpoint west of the summit. The summit was easily reached, although the large rock marking the summit was too slippery >>>
