Gråfjellet roundtrip (up via Bogadalen, down via Herfindal)

Dato:
26.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
9:13t
Distanse:
27,6km

We started by taking the bus to Boge and following the steep gravel road up to Bogavatnet. From there we continued north along a trail passing by many of the very nice cabins at Bogastølen. But somewhere during our ascent to Stabben we lost the trail (or it disappeared?), and while we would still come across several small cairns, the rest of our hike to Gråfjellet was overall without any trails to follow. After walking around Rossatjørna on the northern side, the initial progress from Krossatjørna towards the summit was straightforward. But as we got closer, the terrain turned more challenging and now mainly consisted of numerous small lakes and steep (although not very high) cliffs that had to be traversed. The nature of the terrain also made it difficult to see the best route from a distance. The >>>

We started from the parking lot at Osvatnet and followed the standard trail up to Kupene. Here we left the main trail and followed the sign for Tyssesætra. However we soon lost the trail and had to search a bit to relocate it, but from there on it was relatively easy to follow. (Seems like the trick may be to turn right when the trail splits when leaving the wet area behind, but as we ended up losing the trail at more or less in the same location on the descent, the trail may simply be weak in this particular area.) The one cabin at Tyssesætra soon appeared and from there we followed the sign west to Preikestolen . First a long a nice trail, but it more or less disappeared before reaching the summit. At that point it was not really needed anyway. Preikestolen provided nice views, but we did not stay long before continuing towards >>>

Rollandsoksen (Hesthaugen to Lønborg)

Distanse:
8,1km

A revisit of Rollandsoksen . This time with a more direct route from the bus stop at Hesthaugen, first along roads and later following a nice trail all the way to the summit. From the summit I returned north, before following another trail east until connecting with "Den Trondhjemske Postvei" coming down from Kolåsen, which I then followed until reaching Eidsvåg. Here I wanted to attempt a new shortcut up to Hellemyrstien from Eidsvåglien, where a trail was indicated on the map. The trailhead was easy to locate, starting with a short staircase northeast of Eidsvåglien 2, but the trail split numerous times with no clear way of knowing which was the best option. In the end I did connect with Hellemyrstien though, and from there concluded my hike by walking home to Lønborg.

Kongsfjellet via boat from Bergen

Dato:
12.05.2019
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:28t
Distanse:
6,3km

The trip started by taking the boat from Strandkaiterminalen in Bergen to Bekkjarvik, which took around one hour and provided excellent views along the way. Shortly after disembarking, we came across a hiking sign for "Kongsen", which we assumed was short for Kongsfjellet . Did not see any additional signs though, except for a sign for Kongskleiva (which we did not follow, but which we will come back to later), but soon arrived at the football field north of Kongsfjellet where we easily located the trailhead, marked with the familiar blue "N" for "Nordsjøløypa". From there on it was straightforward to follow the trail all the way to Kongsfjellet, enjoying the rapidly improving views. The summit itself provided excellent views in all directions. We still had plenty of time >>>

Dyrskarfjellet and Rundesteinen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:12t
Distanse:
9,8km

Started by taking the bus to Store-Aurdal (bus stop called "Urdal (Lindås)") and from there followed the gravel road north, making sure to avoid the demolition site of Husafjellet and instead continued on the forest road slightly further to the east. I soon left Husafjellet behind and started looking for the tractor road east of Dyrskarfjellet that should simplify my ascent. I was a bit too eager though, ending up leaving the road too early, but shortly connected with the actual tractor road. The tractor road was easy to follow, but clearly not very heavily used, and at times looked more like a trail than a road. From where the road/trail finally came to an end, it was however pretty straightforward to proceed to the summit. Although there were a couple of steep sections that had to be avoided.

Hemningsfjellet from Eikefet

Fjelltur
Turlengde:

Distanse:
11,5km

Took the bus to Eikefet and from there followed the road north to Eikemo, where the trailhead was easily located just before the road was about to cross Eikefetelva for a second time. The trail was unmarked but easy to follow and more or less followed the river all the way up to Eikemosætra via Sætre . The bridge used to cross the river, named Sæterbrua , was also of good quality. Upon arriving at Eikemosætra, I decided to continue north to Båtevatnet, on the off chance that I'd come across an unknown trail to Hemningsfjellet . But even the trail to Båtevatnet soon turned very weak, and I could not see any trails going east. Heading straight for the summit from Båtevatnet without a trail was not really an option either, as the terrain seemed too steep. I therefore doubled back, getting almost to Eikemosætra, before starting my final >>>

Another meeting ending at Solstrand, another hike beginning in Fusa. But this time I was lucky enough to catch a ride with a colleague and fellow Peakbooker HHauser (Helwig Hauser) . So when the rest of our colleagues got on the bus back to Bergen, we instead headed for the ferry to Venjaneset and onwards to the parking lot for Skarsnuten , all in perfect hiking weather. From the parking lot we initially followed the gravel road north, but soon switched to the parallel tractor road. The idea being that it would probably not be too difficult to make a shortcut up the valley east of Skarsnuten, and thus get a more interesting hike. This turned out even easier than expected, given that shortly after the tractor road ended we came across a trail marked with white plastic ribbons, which ended up taking us all the way to the summit >>>

Distanse:
8,7km

Started by taking the bus to Ytre Arna and walking along the roads up to the marked trailhead at the end of Mons Slettens vei. Here there was also a trail coming up from the north, hence there is most likely a shortcut up from Ytre Arna I did not know about. Within minutes I arrived at the Lavvo indicated on the sign, and as soon as I left it behind, I could see the small hill that was the main goal of today’s hike: Osen . While it would probably not have been very difficult to head directly for the summit, I decided to stay on the trail, taking me almost south of the hill, before a new sign marked the trail towards Osen. On the way to the summit I made a quick visit to Osen utsiktspunkt , providing an excellent overview of Gaupås. The views from the summit itself were also pretty good, with unusual views towards Sjurstonipa , >>>
