Børdalsfjellet and Huldabottsfjellet

Dato:
16.07.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:23t
Distanse:
7,9km

I left work a bit early and hopped on a bus to Eikedalen with the goal to visit both Børdalsfjellet and Huldabottsfjellet . The schedule for the planned return bus was on the tight side, and did not get any better when I managed to get off the bus one stop too early. Thankfully this only required an extra 500 meters walk along the main road (could have been much worse…). After leaving the main road, I followed an old gravel road up to what I believe is the start of an old ski lift, clearly not used in a long time. It did however provide the trace of an old tractor road that greatly simplified the start of the ascent. When the road ended shortly after crossing the river via an old bridge (I did not see any traces of the road turning south as indicated on the map), I instead turned left (west) and started making my own way >>>

Fotasperrnuten

Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:30t
Distanse:
14,3km

When the initial plan to drive to Øystese for a visit to Skrott did not work out, we changed plans and instead hopped on a bus to Steinskvanndalen (bus stop called Kvernavollen) for an ascent of Fotasperrnuten . The walk along the gravel road up to the beautiful Steinskvanndalsvatnet was quickly completed and we then started searching for the marked trailhead. We walked a bit too far though and ended up making our own way up the field. We soon came across the marked trail, which from there on, with some minor exceptions when getting close to the summit, was easy to follow. Note that there were some steep areas when heading up Fotasperrdalen, or more specifically a steep drop on the right-hand side of the trail, so this particular part of the trail may not be to everyone's liking. But as soon as this stretch was >>>

Totlandsfjellet

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
6,3km

I managed to convince two colleagues to go hiking and we decided on Totlandsfjellet in Samnanger. After reading up on previous PB-reports our plan was to drive all the way to the small parking lot next to Svensdalstjørna and start our hike from there. We were therefore rather surprised when coming across a locked gate immediately after turning left (west) into Svensdalen from Høysetetjørna. The gate looked fairly new, so probably it had not been there to stop earlier visitors to Totlandsfjellet? Luckily it was easy to find alternative parking by the main road at Høysetetjørna, and it was only about 800 meters along a gravel road from there to the planned start of the hike anyway. The gravel road was quickly covered and we shortly arrived at the northwestern end of Svensdalstjørna. After crossing the small stream we located the weak unmarked trail, heading >>>

Storlifjellet and Husafjellet - Roundtrip

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
9,9km

Today's hike had two goals. The primary being to ascend Storlifjellet from Gamlesæter, and the secondary, if time permitted, to turn the hike into a roundtrip via Eiterdalen . The latter inspired by arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) 's external trip report . Started by taking the bus to Gamlesæter (see bus tip below) and followed the gravel road up to Nymark. From there I continuing along the tractor road until it came to an end. After reading the previous PB-reports for Storlifjellet, it seemed clear that the terrain from this point onward required that a fairly specific route was followed. So in order to not waste lots of time trying to find my own alternative route, I more or less followed in knutsverre (Knut S. Andersen) 's footsteps (although I guess GeirL (Geir Lie) should get the credit for providing the first GPS tracks along the same route .). Combined with the numerous deer tracks also showing the way, this made what would probably otherwise have been >>>

Øyanovi, Storafjellet and Gløvret (Storfossen to Vaksdal)

Dato:
27.06.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
9:15t
Distanse:
21,3km

We started by taking the train to Dale and from there the connecting bus up to Storfossen/Storfossdammen. After crossing along the top of the dam, we followed the marked (but clearly not very heavily used) trail up Øyaskaret. Did not see any trails in the direction of Øyanovi , but when reaching the top of Øyaskaret it was straightforward to make progress towards the summit. Note that the best views from Øyanovi were not obtained at the summit itself, but rather 100 meters further north (now added as a separate PB element ). For our return to the marked trail, we made a shortcut heading more directly south, but it would probably have been just as fast, due to the terrain, to rather retrace our steps to where we left the trail earlier on. We then followed the marked trail towards Møyadalsnubben , but missed our exit and had to turn back >>>

It was already late afternoon when it finally stopped raining and too late to visit any new peaks. I therefore settled on a new trail instead and hopped on a bus to Årstadveien. Upon reaching the northern end of Svartediket I left the main road and followed the trail up to Hardbakkedalen. Just before the trail enters the upper part of Hardbakkedalen, I turned left (north) for the new trail of the day: Buføringsvegen. My hope was that I would discover a new route up to Langelivatnet, or if this did not work out, end up somewhere below Tarlebøvatnet. The trailhead was marked, but the trail itself did not seem very frequently used. It was however overall easy to follow and I soon arrived at the ruins at Hardbakkhaugen , where an information sign, mainly about the small farm, also mentioned that there used >>>

Started by taking the train to Dale and from there the bus to Tretteneset, where the bus driver provided a bit of extra service by dropping me off just where the tractor road starts (the official bus stop is a couple of hundred meters further up the road). The tractor road made the initial progress straightforward and I soon arrived at the end of the road. Here a trail to Dalseidstølen is shown on the map, but the weak trail I found did not really follow what was indicated on the map. It did however take me to Dalseidstølen, although there may a better trail that I missed. From Dalseidstølen I first turned north, following various deer tracks, before turning southwest on a more direct route to Kvigedalsegga . Note that I did come across a weak trail just after leaving the cabin, but I quickly lost it. So while my route >>>
