Førdesveten from Stranda

Dato:
02.09.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:11t
Distanse:
6,7km

We started from the parking lot at Stranda skole and followed the marked trail all the way to the summit, choosing the shorter route by going east in the first marked crossroads. Decent trail, where most of the wet areas can be easily crossed with little risk of getting wet. The summit provided excellent views in all directions and was very much worth a visit. The plan was now to head for Randifjellet to the north, and we therefore followed the path in this direction. However, upon reaching the crossroads at the end of the ridge, the trail heading east did not look very inviting, i.e. wet and muddy. We therefore continued south instead, hoping that the alternative path (which takes off to the west after 100 meters or so along the southern trail) towards Randifjellet would be better. This turned out not to >>>

Toppenipa and Toppefjellet

Dato:
30.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:36t
Distanse:
5,4km

Started by taking the bus to Støbotn and from there following Toppevegen up to the marked trailhead. I followed the relatively steep trail to the summit of Toppenipa , before continuing towards Toppefjellet . Nice views as always from both summits. Did not meet a single person though, which may explain my next encounter. As I was taking pictures at the summit of Toppefjellet I suddenly heard a large animal running in the direction of Toppenipa, starting from just south of the summit. Initially I could not see the animal, but as it ran northwest it made a short stop in a small clearing, long enough for me to confirm my suspicion that it was a deer and to take a quick picture, before it again disappeared into the trees. After this unexpected excitement, I turned back and followed the same trail back towards Toppenipa. >>>

Started by taking the bus to Saudalen and from there following the road upwards to the trailhead. The trail goes southeast along the ridge of the mountain, with excellent views along the way. Upon reaching Geitanuken , I continued south to Myrdalskogen and then followed the roads back to Åsane terminal. A nice short hike that can be highly recommended.

Katlaberget, Liafjellet and Vardafjellet

Dato:
26.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:35t
Distanse:
17,3km

Katlaberget Started by taking the bus to Lunde and following Torkjelsvegen down towards Vargavågen. The trail/road was marked all the way from the start at Torkjelsvegen. The signs felt a bit counterintuitive at times though, sending me both downwards and further northeast than expected, but I decided to stick with them, and quickly arrived at the plateau east of the summit. Here I noticed a trail northeast towards Ferstad, with what turned out to be a very nice view across Fusafjorden. From the viewpoint, I turned back and headed for the highest point of Katlaberget . The views here were somewhat limited by trees, especially in the western direction, nothing like what I had seen on the trail towards Ferstad. After the mandatory pictures, I therefore decided to go back to the previous viewpoint and continue >>>

Melkeplassen to Holen

Dato:
20.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:40t
Distanse:
4,4km

Started from Melkeplassen and from there followed the standard trail towards Damsgårdsfjellet , with a quick stop at Olsokfjellet on the way. From the summit I continued north to the trig marker at Damsgårdsfjellet , then west to Holafjellet , before ending the hike by following the trail north to Holen for the bus back to the city center. Nice views from Olsokfjellet and Damsgårdsfjellet. The views from the trig marker at Damsgårdsfjellet were also worth a visit. Holafjellet was less interesting, with limited views from the summit, but the trail from Holafjellet down to Holen was an interesting alternative descent with nice views along the way.

Sangoltshornet and Storaskjenet from Skogsskiftet terminal

Dato:
18.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
4:17t
Distanse:
15,0km

Sangoltshornet Started by taking the bus to Skogsskiftet terminal and walking southeast on Skogevegen and later Austre Sundvegen, before following Skogsvågvegen northeast until reaching Sangoltsvegen, which I then followed south until reaching the trailhead. At the trailhead I had two options: either continue southeast (which was marked "Hødne") or turn west (which was unmarked). I chose the latter, assuming that this was the shortest route, but quickly started regretting my choice as the trail ended up being extremely wet, feeling more like a river than a trail at times. Perhaps the trail would have been slightly better if it had not rained heavily the day before, but given the terrain I expect my experience was not unique. The trail did get better towards the summit of Sangoltshornet though. The >>>

Ørneberget and Kvitebjørnen

Dato:
16.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:53t
Distanse:
13,8km

Started by walking up Lønborglien and then across Ørneberget (aka Eidsvågfjellet) on the way to Munkebotsvatnet, from where I followed the trail to Sandvikshytten and Dræggehytten before arriving at Kvitebjørnen with stops at Emanuel Mohns utsikt and Lavet . From Lavet I took a rather wet shortcut down to Storevatnet and back down to Munkebotsvatnet, before concluding the hike with a visit to Furekammen on the way back to Lønborg.

Togga

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:38t
Distanse:
5,0km

Started from the large parking lot at Gunvordalen and followed the marked trail to the summit. The trail was slightly steeper than expected, but did not contain any difficult sections. However, we had to be a bit careful on the way down as it had started raining and the trail got quite slippery. Sadly the rain was also accompanied with quite dense fog, resulting in next to no views from the summit. Clearly a hike to repeat in better weather.

Søre Gråbrørne

Dato:
01.08.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:06t
Distanse:
11,7km

We started from the Amlaholten parking lot and from there followed the marked gravel road to Svartahol, before continuing on trails towards Søre Gråbrørne . The trails did not completely match what was indicated on the map, but it was fairly easy to arrive at the gravel road going over Turrlifjellet. We crossed the gravel road and continued on the unmarked trail towards Søre Gråbrørne. The summit itself provided limited views, but by continuing north along the trail we arrived at a cairn for some truly spectacular views! From the cairn we doubled back to the gravel road, which we then followed around Turrlifjellet until reconnecting with the first gravel road at Svartaholsbakkane and finally back to the parking lot. Overall, a great hike with spectacular views that can be highly recommended!
