Stangelifjellet - descending via Sofusstien

Dato:
28.09.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:56t
Distanse:
11,9km

Took the bus to Ervik and followed Selvikveien until the trailhead for Setervatnet. My initial plan had been to walk around the dam and return the same way, but when ascending to Øst for Stangelifjellet I came across a trail I had not noticed before which apparently would take me down to Vinddalen. Upon reaching the summit of Øst for Stangelifjellet I therefore returned to the trail marked as Sofusstien, which turned out to be a trail marked with red paint, and although it was clear that the red paint was far from fresh, the trail itself was easy to follow. Halfway down the trail there was also a visitor register with an explanation for the name of the trail. When the trail connected with the road I continued south to Stallane , before following the road on the south side of Jordalsvatnet on the way back to the main road.

Hikletten

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:36t
Distanse:
4,1km

After cycling the close to 60 km to Botnen and the marked trailhead for Hikletten (see separate trip report: Cycling: Hikletten ), I was finally ready for the main goal of the day. After leaving the bike behind, it was actually quite a relief to start hiking and get a break from cycling. The trail quality however left a lot to be desired, because while the trail was overall easy to follow, it was very wet, most notably the first half until making a U-turn towards the summit. The first half also had rather limited views. But this all changed as soon as the trail turned southwest for the final climb to the summit, providing excellent views towards Veafjorden and Stanghelle, and later also south along the fjord in the direction of Vaksdal. The views from the summit itself were also excellent, and a great place for my lunch >>>

Slåttenovi and Hatlekinni from Bolstadøyri

Dato:
21.09.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
6:02t
Distanse:
22,0km

Slåttenovi Started by taking the train to Bolstadøyri and, after crossing the river at the bridge, I walked northeast along the road, before following the gravel road towards Øvstedalen. When the winding road reached its highest point (before descending into Øvstedalen), I followed an unmarked trail southwest in the direction of Slåttenovi . The trail was pretty wet and at times rather weak, especially when crossing the wettest areas. I therefore ended up losing it a couple of times, but given that the summit was visible for most of the hike anyway, this was not really an issue. The summit provided nice views and also included a visitor register indicating more than 100 visits so far for 2019. After a couple of pictures, I made a quick stop at the remains of the trig marker to the east, before returning >>>

Hakkesetstølen

Distanse:
5,2km

We parked at the large parking lot at the start of Hakkesetvegen and followed the gravel road all the way to Hakkesetstølen , with the rain from above (or rather from the side due to the strong winds) turning to wet snow along the way. After enjoying hot chocolates at Hakkesetstølen we followed the marked, but sometimes pretty wet, trail back towards Geilo. Upon reaching the gravel road we ditched the trail and instead followed the gravel road down to Vestlia Resort.

Warning: This hike includes a short steep off-trail descent into Tuftedalen that is most likely not to everyone's liking. Consider the track with care! I started by taking the train to Bolstadøyri where I was picked up by a colleague coming by car. This had the benefit that the surprisingly steep and narrow gravel road up to Rasdalen was more quickly covered compared to my initial plan of walking up from the train station. At Rasdalsvatnet, we were asked by a local farmer to pass through a gate and park at a second parking lot 100 meters up the road, as a helicopter pick-up was planned later that same day. The first parking lot is probably the one generally recommended for visitors though. We followed the marked trail along the river, crossing at Røyrbakken, and soon arrived at Vibotnen. The >>>

Veten from Grøvlesvingen

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:36t
Distanse:
9,9km

Another revisit of Veten i Åsane , but this time starting from Grøvlesvingen. Just as I was getting off the bus it started raining heavily, which made it more difficult to confer with the GPS. I still managed to get to the gravel road on the other side of the main road, but was here surprised to find a "no entry" sign. I therefore backtracked a bit and instead followed a weak trail that would hopefully take me around the construction site. This trail however quickly disappeared and soon I was back on the gravel road anyway, taking me northwest and thus away from the summit. I did meet a couple of people coming the opposite way though, so maybe the "no entry" sign is ignored by the locals on Sundays? Later the road finally turned southeast towards the summit. I did not stay on it for very >>>
