Bergstadfjellet from Evanger

Dato:
23.11.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:28t
Distanse:
16,0km

Started by taking the train to Evanger and walking along Teigdalsvegen to Forvene. The road was covered by ice soon after passing Fadnes, but by walking close to the edge of the road, and paying close attention, snow chains were not needed. Upon reaching the short tractor road at Forvene, I left the main road and started searching for a trailhead. Did not find any, so I simply started up the steep ridge, assuming I would come across it later on. A trail/deer track was shortly discovered. I would put it more in the latter category though, but it did make it easier to progress up the surprisingly steep ascent. The ridge was covered by trees, but these could easily be avoided. Thus there was nothing of the bush war I had mentally prepared for. At around 200 meters the trail turned much less steep, >>>

Distanse:

Left work earlier than usual to take advantage of the nice weather for a quick visit to Soria Moria in order to recomplete the Hytter og objekter i Byfjellene list. The snow chains came on shortly after turning south at the start of Oppstemten , and greatly simplified an otherwise much more challenging hike.

Distanse:
18,4km

Roundtrip at Fløyen and Rundemanen to visit some of the newly added elements on the Hytter og objekter i Byfjellene list. Rather icy conditions from Brushytten up to Rundemanen, so I followed Blåmansveien on the descent which was much better. Also lots of ice from Brushytten to Grindarasten and down to the smaller dam below Storavatnet.

Andershovden After exiting the train at Voss, I walked along the roads to Tvilde where I easily located the marked trailhead. By following the signs for Storeåsen, first along a gravel road and later a long various trail, the progress was straightforward and with some excellent views towards Lønahorgi along the way (which would turn out to be a familiar element throughout the rest of the hike). Storeåsen itself was not marked, and I did not bother locating the summit. North of Storeåsen, where the trail connected with a gravel road, there was another information sign, from which I followed the trail towards Gudleikstreet, taking me through the Håmyrane nature reserve. (As it turned out, I could also simply have followed the gravel road north for a couple hundred meters and reconnected with the same >>>

Skrott, Glynt and Geitafjellet

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:49t
Distanse:
15,4km

On what would turn out to be a perfect late October day for hiking, me and Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) drove early from Bergen to Fitjadalen, were we started our ascent from the parking lot just after nine, following the marked trail. At about 600 meters we came across the first real snow, and from there on the amount continued to increase the further up we got. There were some partially hidden footprints in the snow, most likely from the day before, but we were the first hikers this morning, and thus had to make our own path (following the red T’s) up the mountainside. The progress was therefore slower than expected, as we kept sinking deeper and deeper into the snow. At the cabin southwest of Skrott we left the main trail to Breidablik and instead followed the cairns towards the summit. Here there were no footprints at all, >>>

Høgehaugen

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:37t
Distanse:
4,3km

To complete our tour of small peaks along Samnanger-/Eikelandsfjorden, Endre and I had saved the worst for last: Høgehaugen . At least that seemed to be the verdict after reading reports from previous visits. We started from the standard location, i.e. the small parking lot next to Sævellavatnet on the border of Fusa and Samnanger. But where everyone else had seemed to stay north of Botnavatnet, we instead headed south, hoping that this would provide an easier route to the elusive trail west of the lake. After walking 100 meters south along the main road, we continued west and later south/southwest on a forest road, taking us east of Botnavatnet. When the forest road forked, or at least a smaller weaker forest road headed southwest, we briefly followed in the footsteps of a running deer, and then followed >>>

Hykkelsåsen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
0:18t
Distanse:
0,9km

After visiting Dormannsnipen and Beljaråsen , me and Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) continued to Hykkelsåsen . We parked the car next to the road at Medås, after quickly discarding the option to drive up the steep and narrow gravel road towards the antenna west of the main road. At the top of the gravel road we noticed what we first thought were red trail markers, but it soon became apparent there were simply too many of them, hence these were most likely trees marked for later being cut down for fire wood. We therefore ignored the markings and instead made our own way towards the summit, which was quickly reached, the only minor obstacle being an electric fence that could easily be traversed. As expected, there were next to no views from the summit. There was however some sort of outdoor gym set up, with ropes to climb and bars that could be used >>>

1:00t
Distanse:
3,9km

Given that Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) had not yet visited Beljaråsen , and given that we were very close after completing our hike to Dormannsnipen , he managed to convince me to join him for my second visit. This time ascending via the old tractor road east of the summit, which when ending turned into a trail that easily took us all the way to the summit. We returned along the same route, as I suggested avoiding the "shortcut" me and Helwig ( HHauser (Helwig Hauser) ) used on our previous visit: Skarsnuten, Vardafjellet, Grytefjellet and Beljaråsen .

Distanse:
3,4km

On a rainy Saturday morning, me and Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) decided to postpone our planned hike to Skrott until tomorrow and instead spend this day visiting a couple of smaller peaks along Samnanger-/Eikelandsfjorden. The first being Dormannsnipen . Upon arriving at Hafskordalen Parkering we noticed one other car, which turned out to contain a deer hunter and three kids. They were just about to go hunting in the area north of Dormannsnipen and were more than willing to show us the way, as long as we did not move too far north after visiting the summit. We were more than happy with this arrangement and soon found ourselves following the hunters along a weak unmarked trail, with a hidden trailhead that we probably would not have found on our own. The trail was very wet and did not head straight for the summit, but it is most likely still the easiest >>>
