Lone to Flaktveit via Kvitnosa

Distanse:
14,6km

Sunday hike with my dad with the main objective of visiting the trig marker at Kvitnosa . We started by taking the bus to Lone (or rather bus, train and bus) and then followed the road to Borgo. Most hikers here probably take the marked route up to Borgaskaret, but we instead started searching for the trail to Gjøken . Our first attempt ended up on the wrong side of an electric fence, before we, after a bit of backtracking, passed through a gate and could finally begin the ascent. The trail indicated on the map was however not really there and instead it seemed like we were in a field used for grazing cattle. So far we did not see any cattle though and assumed that they had been brought indoors for the winter. After later passing through a second gate, this one open, the weak trail soon pretty much disappeared and we were left >>>

When Endre asked if I wanted to spend the upcoming Saturday hiking in Eidfjord, I of course immediately said yes and we decided on the area between Måbødalen and Simdalen as our target area, as it contained up to five peaks that neither of us had yet visited. Endre therefore picked me up at my place shortly after 08:00 on the Saturday morning and we started our drive to Eidfjord in an unusually dense fog that we could not escape until beginning the ascent up Måbødalen. We parked at the large parking lot along Isdalsvegen and from there followed a trail through a cabin area before connecting with the marked trail to Simadal. Even though it was already late September, the weather was very warm and I soon had to make a stop to change into shorts, and the rest of the hike was carried out in just shorts and t-shirts for both of us.

After taking the train from Bergen to Voss and the bus to Oppheim, I got off at Framnes at the southwestern end of Oppheimsvatnet. From there I headed north via Bidne to Svorto. The ascent followed a paved road that gradually turned into a rough tractor road and finally ended up as more of a muddy path. The map indicates a trail heading north/northwest from Svorto, but while I did find an unmarked trail, it was quite weak and I therefore lost it several times. By the time I got close to Såta the trail had completely disappeared and I was left with finding my own way. Såta provided great views and even had its own visitor register. From Såta I made my own way north to the main goal of the day: Tverrfjellet . No trails here as far as I could tell but the terrain was easy to navigate. I made a couple of minor >>>

Skjerjavasshovden from Beinhellervatnet (alternative route)

Initially, I had other hiking plans this Saturday, but then Endre gave me an offer I simply could not refuse: a ride to Norddalen such that I could visit Skjerjavasshovden . He had already been to Skjerjavasshovden but was going to drive further up Norddalen and kayak across Skjerjavatnet to ascend Trollahorgi and Belaskarhorgi . I was picked up at my place around nine for the drive to Eksingedalen. A trip that turned out a bit longer than necessary as shortly after passing Evanger we realized that we were running low on gas. To be on the safe side we therefore turned back and made an extended detour to Voss to fill the tank. Rather annoying given the numerous gas stations we had passed on our way from Bergen... When finally arriving in Norddalen, Endre dropped me off next to Beinhellervatnet before he continued north to the parking lot at the northeastern end of Skjerjavatnet . I started my >>>

After the drive north from Bergen, Endre and I left the car at the parking lot at the end of the road up to Svartavatnet and started on the marked trail to Vardadalsbu . Upon connecting with the gravel road south of Skjerjevatnet we briefly followed the road southeast before ascending off-trail to the summit of Vest av Trollegilsbotnen . A bit of easy scrambling was required but we reached the summit without any real challenges. Finding the exact summit was more difficult, hence we simply visited all of the likely candidates. Before descending we also made a short detour south to look down into Modalen. After getting back to the gravel road west of Vest av Trollegilsbotnen we followed the road north until reconnecting with the marked trail to Vardadalsbu. Here we left the gravel road and continued on the trail. This would soon lead us across two metal bridges that enabled us to easily cross >>>

After first postponing the drive from Bergen by three hours in an attempt to avoid the worst rain showers and potential thunder storms, Endre finally picked me up shortly after 11:00 and together we headed for Masfjorden. The choice to wait turned out to be good one as the rain showers during our drive north were at times so intensive that the windscreen wipers struggled to clear the numerous large raindrops. When we arrived at the small parking lot next to the road east of Vardefjellet the rain had however almost stopped and the weather forecast promised almost two hours with little to no rain. We therefore quickly left the car and started our ascent. Largely, we followed in the footsteps of GeirL and his GPS-track from 2016 which started by following the marked trail to Bergsviksetra before later heading off-trail towards the summit via various deer tracks. >>>

A return to Åstveitskogen to explore some of the trails I did not check out during my last visit . This time I also completed the trip around Åstveitvatnet and included a short detour down to Åstveitvågen. Lots of slippery roots and muddy areas after the recent rain showers, but overall a very nice short hike.
