Melshovden

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:40t
Distanse:
2,6km

After visiting Håvarden and Kvamsfjellet we stopped at Melshovden on the way back to Bergen. The excellent views from the summit were made even better by the clouds finally clearing. We did not stay for the sunset though, as we were not too keen on descending the rather icy trail in the dark.

When the weather forecast finally indicated a single day of excellent hiking conditions, and with the rainstorms starting up again the day after, it did not take much convincing for two of my colleagues to take the day off and instead work during the rainy weekend. We decided on Håvarden / Kvamsfjellet and pretty much followed in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) , first finding parking next to the road at Elvika and then starting up a tractor road to the marked trailhead. The trail was not indicated on the map, but it was marked and overall easy to follow. Some ice towards the end, but little to no snow. While my colleagues took a break at the large cairn called Håvarden, I made the short walk to the highest point of Kvamsfjellet on my own, around 200 meters further north. There was a marked trail here, but it did not head for the >>>

Started the year by a hike up Stoltzekleiven . Made it to the top in exactly 16 minutes. After catching my breath, I continued south to the summit of Sandviksfjellet , before following the gravel road home to Lønborg.

Stølafjellet and Ilefjellet from Våge

Dato:
26.12.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:07t
Distanse:
21,9km

Stølafjellet I started by taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge. From Våge I followed the main road south to Reisa, taking a shortcut next to the school/football field to more quickly get to the main road in Uggdalsdalen, and then the shortest route up to the trailhead for Stølafjellet . The latter pretty much led me through someone's backyard. It is better to take the only slightly longer route to the west in order to avoid feeling like a trespasser. The trailhead was unmarked, but the tractor road, and later trail, was marked with red paint. I followed the tractor road until it came to an end at a viewpoint with a bench, and from there followed the marked trail all the way to the cairn . The red markings pretty much disappeared towards the end, but by then the large cairn could be spotted anyway. After >>>

Tysnessåta from Våge

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:55t
Distanse:
17,4km

After first taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge, I continued on foot along the road to Valla (or Vadla as the locals call it). Upon arriving at Valla, I was surprised to come across two sets of trailhead markers, as I had not been able to find any indications of this when researching this potential route to Tysnessåta . I decided to go for the newest trailhead (which most likely connects with the old trail later on anyway) and started up a marked tractor road which I soon left for a trail marked with red T's. The start of the trail was relatively steep, but at around 300 meters it flattened out quite a lot, and from there on the ascent was pretty easy. Here I also got the first glimpses of Tysnessåta through the trees. As expected, the trail could be followed all the way to the summit, even >>>

Husafjellet and Storenipa

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:25t
Distanse:
9,0km

After visiting Sverrestuven and Middagshaugen , me and Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) concluded our trip by following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) for our visits to Husafjellet and Storenipa . We started from the small parking lot in Straumsdalen , and from there followed the gravel road south. Shortly before getting to the U-turn, Endre got bored of following the road and wanted to head more directly towards the summit. We therefore decided to split up and see who would make it to the summit first. Endre climbed up to the east while I continued along the road for another 100 meters or so before starting my own ascent (not requiring any climbing). I left the road shortly after coming across a warning sign for a shooting range up ahead, and quickly located a deer track that I could more or less follow all the way to the summit, thus making the ascent a lot easier than expected. Endre had of course reached >>>

Middagshaugen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:06t
Distanse:
3,0km

After out visit to Sverrestuven , Endre ( Fjellsamleren (Endre Myrdal Olsen) ) and me continued to Middagshaugen , parking next to the road at Bjørkheim and at the start of the marked trail. The trail (first red markers, later blue) could easily be followed all the way to the summit, which was itself unmarked. Excellent views from the summit, but the views were even better 100 meters to the south , where there was also a visitor register, clearly the main goal for most hikers. For the descent we followed the same trail back down to the car, concluding an excellent short hike that can be highly recommended.
