Sælsfjellet

Dato:
30.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:20t
Distanse:
3,5km

Started by taking the bus to Sælsvika (bus stop "Sæle snuplass", i.e. the final bus stop) and after enjoying the excellent views across the harbor towards Folgefonna we walked back along the road to locate the trail towards Sælsfjellet . Thanks to Kjell's recent trip report we quickly located the trailhead and shortly arrived at the southern summit indicated by an antenna. The highest point (if ever so slightly) is however a small cairn about 100 meters further north. The trail did continue in this direction, but turned right (east) before reaching the cairn. Excellent views all around, both towards the sea and towards the snow-covered mountains to the southeast. Highly recommended! After taking lots of pictures (in total my colleague ended up just shy of 200...) we returned to the road and followed it northwest to Hummelsund >>>

Skantane, Reppåsen and Grønhovda

Distanse:
20,1km

Skantane Started by taking the bus to Gåssandskiftet and walking the rather boring 3 km to the parking lot at Hatlelio where I switched from asphalt to gravel for another 3 km in pretty much the same direction. I had been hoping that I'd be walking close to the two lakes, but to my disappointment most of the view towards the lakes was hidden until getting close to Raudlibøen. There is however a trail closer to the lakes, so perhaps worth a try instead of only following the gravel road. As I turned south at Raudlistova the gravel road ended as the trail towards the BJF cabin started (see Bergen Jeger og Fiskerforening ). The trail quality was ok until reaching the BJF cabin, which had a very nice location at the southern tip of Raudlitjørna, but this marked the end of the good trails, even though the trail heading southeast from the BJF cabin >>>

Rødsfjellet and Møsnuken

Dato:
27.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:48t
Distanse:
15,6km

After a meeting at Solstrand I walked up to the main road from where I took the bus to Gjemdal. The marked trailhead was quickly found, which started out as a nice tractor road up the valley in between Rødsfjellet and Møsnuken called Gjemdalsskaret. Decided to follow the red trail towards Rødsfjellet, which was overall well-marked and easy to follow. Sadly it started raining, which combined with low-hanging clouds reduced the views. The rain came and went until reaching the summit, where I walked around a bit hoping for better conditions, but in the end I gave up and started the descent. For the descent I followed the white trail, which was also well-marked, but I did lose it at one point due to it being hidden by snow. Luckily the white painted trail markers were easily visible from a distance and the trail >>>

Kolåsen and Tveitåsen

Dato:
21.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:00t
Distanse:
14,0km

Started by taking the bus to Manger and from there walking along the road to Dalland. Only sidewalks at the very start, but not a lot of traffic so this part was slightly better than feared. As soon as I passed the last houses at Dalland the road changed into a tractor road that I followed almost to the end before starting my search for the trailhead to Kolåsen . My initial search was unsuccessful, but after consulting GPS tracks from previous PB reports to Kolåsen I managed to locate the hidden entrance in between the trees. To my surprise the trail itself was marked (something that would also have been a good idea for the trailhead?) and I soon found myself at the fallen trig marker. As expected there were no views at all from the summit. Given that the marked trail continued southeast, I decided >>>

Sandviksbatteriet, Håmanen and Ørneberget

Dato:
15.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:23t
Distanse:
9,7km

Started from Skuteviken and took a short walk through Sandviken before following Fjellveien back towards Sandviksbatteriet which I ascended via the steep trail directly from Fjellveien. From Sandviksbatteriet I visited both Håmanen and Ørneberget on my way to Lønborg, making this my first 2018 visit of Ørneberget where there was no snow or ice.

Furefjellet and Raudfjellet

Dato:
11.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:28t
Distanse:
11,2km

Hitched a ride with a colleague to Mjåtveit and quickly located the trailhead for Furefjellet . The trailhead was marked, but Furefjellet was not mentioned on the signs until later on. Short but nice trail to the summit (although today a bit wet at times), which provided much better views than expected. Even though the views would have benefitted greatly from removing a couple of the many pine trees giving the peak its name. From the summit I followed a weak trail northwest towards Dalstøvegen. Clearly not the most used trail, but still relatively easy to follow. Upon reaching the road I turned north towards Raudfjellet . The plan had been to ascend via the tractor road starting south of the summit, but as this involved walking along the main road with high-speed traffic and no sidewalk, I decided to instead try >>>

Nipa, Brotavarden and Ryggjastykket

Dato:
07.04.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:32t
Distanse:
12,8km

Started by taking the bus to Telavåg (bus stop called Tælavåg Nordsjøfartmuseet) and locating the marked trailhead just north of the two football fields. The trail itself was clearly marked with the familiar blue marks of Nordsjøløypa and I quickly arrived at the summit of Nipa . Nice views from the summit, but the gray weather reduced the visibility somewhat. From Nipa I continued north towards Brotavarden , still following the marked trail. I however turned west too early (at the sign for Nesvika, instead of waiting for the sign for Brotavarden). This resulted in having to find my own shortcut to connect with the proper trail to Brotavarden. Not too difficult, but pretty sure it would have been easier to wait for the correct sign. The wind started picking up as I approached Brotavarden. I therefore did >>>

Stolåsen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:16t
Distanse:
8,3km

Started by taking the bus to Førde (bus stop Førdespollen) and walking northwest along the road until reaching the tractor road to Langavatnet. I was happy to see footprints in the snow, hoping that these would continue all the way to the summit of Stolåsen . Shortly after leaving the paved road I spotted the first deer, of which there would be numerous traces in the form of hoofprints throughout the hike. In fact they were soon more common that footprints. At the crossroads with the first signs for Stolåsen there was only one set of footprints coming from the planned direction. I still decided to turn left (west) at the sign and thus ascend Stolåsen from the south. Less than a minute later I heard, and later saw, the second (and maybe a third?) deer, and with 2-3 deer spotted in less than half an >>>
