Tellnes skule to Døsjeskiftet

Dato:
06.01.2018
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:15t
Distanse:
16,9km

Started by taking the bus to Tellnes skule. From the bus stop I located the weak trail from the map, which I proceeded to follow west before later turning south and connecting with Nordsjøløypa. The trail was clearly not the most heavily used, but could be easily followed. I missed the crossroads where the trail towards Høgevarden started, but after a couple of meters I connected with the trail, which I then followed almost to the summit, with a shortcut towards the end. The views were slightly better than expected, but better versions of very similar views can of course be obtained from Liatårnet and Haganesfjellet . After a short stay, I started my descent, this time following the trail all the way to where it connected with Nordsjøløypa. I did not follow the trail all the way back to the bus stop though, but rather followed >>>

Kolafjellet from Døsjeskiftet

Dato:
30.12.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:35t
Distanse:
13,3km

Kolafjellet seemed to be one of those small peaks that are not really worth a hike in itself, so I decided to extend the hike a bit to make the overall trip more enjoyable. Started by taking the bus to Døsjeskiftet and following the paved road up to Bildøyvatnet. From there I followed the marked trail across Vardafjell , ending up at Fjell festning. (The wooden trail markers came in very handy as the trail itself was covered with snow. I therefore more or less ended up walking from one marker to the next.) I continued south along the roads at Fjell festning until reaching the main road. Previous PB trip reports indicated that there was a tractor road further south that could be utilized to make easy progress towards Kolafjellet. I therefore started walking south along the main road in search of this tractor road, >>>

Oksneskletten - the extended version

Dato:
28.12.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:22t
Distanse:
8,9km

After reading the previous trip reports for Oksneskletten on PB, I concluded that a hike to just the summit would most likely not be the most enjoyable trip (especially given the relatively long travel distance from the Bergen city center). I therefore decided to extend the hike with parts of the Askøy på langs trail to hopefully add some more enjoyable sections. I therefore started by taking the bus to Merkesvik and from there following the Askøy på langs trail in the southern direction. The marked trailhead was easy to locate from the main road and the trail made it straightforward to progress towards Oksneset. However, I knew that I had to leave the marked trail to get to the summit of Oksneskletten , but this was easier said than done, as the terrain mainly consisted of trees with thick branches blocking the way or slippery/icy areas with drops >>>

Storevardhaugane, Kjerrgardsåsen and Ospåsen

Dato:
21.12.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:07t
Distanse:
9,4km

Storevardhaugane Started by taking the bus to Fromreidetoppen and continued west along the road (~400 m) until reaching the trailhead. There was no sidewalk, but there was a narrow trail on the right-hand side of the road could be used. I tried to follow the trail through the woods towards Storevardhaugane . But this was easier said than done, as there were multiple trails to choose from, all with different (mainly) unlabeled markers, i.e. the GPS came in handy. Storevardhaugane provided decent views, partly blocked by trees. The view towards Eldsfjellet was particularly nice. After signing the visitor register, and looking for a potentially better view south of the summit (which was not to be found), I retraced my steps to one of the previous crossroads, and headed towards Leirdalen and Berlandsvegen. Kjerrgardsåsen I followed >>>

Started walking from the bus stop at Torget and followed Tippetue up to Fløyen. From there I continued to Fjellhytten before going via Brushytten on the way up towards Rundemanen , and then passing by Ankerhytten on the way down to Munkebotn and finally onwards to Lønborg.

Borgafjellet Roundtrip

Dato:
10.12.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:50t
Distanse:
13,7km

Started by taking the bus to Ulvenskiftet and walking up to Tøsdal from where I followed the relatively new gravel road towards Nordmarka/Hjelle, however today the gravel road could not be seen as it was covered by 10-20 centimeters of snow. I made a quick stop at very nice new suspension bridge called Knutabruo , which I of course had to cross, even though my route did not go in that direction. :) After reaching Hjelle, the trailhead towards Borgafjellet was easily located. Actually, the route to Borgafjellet was marked with signs all the way from Tøsdal. The trail itself was however impossible to see due to all the snow. But as hoped, I was not the only one heading to Borgafjellet this morning, so thankfully there were several of sets of footprints I could follow up the relatively steep incline. The trail (or >>>

Sandviksbatteriet (the steep route) and Håmanen

Dato:
02.12.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:02t
Distanse:
5,8km

Given that my previous attempt to follow the steep route from Fjellveien to Sandviksbatteriet went a bit wrong (see Sandviksbatteriet - the steep route with a detour ), I decided to retrace my steps to see where I made the wrong turn. Once again I started from the bus stop in Munkebotn and followed the (initially) nice trail in the direction of Sandviksbatteriet, but at the last bend in the trail I now turned left towards Sandviksbatteriet instead of continuing the climb upwards. This route also included a small bit of very light climbing (although a lot less than the previous hike) and the trail is not very clear until getting close to the small concrete tower (which is more or less at the same level as Sandviksbatteriet). From there it is straightforward to arrive at Sandviksbatteriet. No views today due to rain and low-hanging clouds, so I quickly continued >>>

Slettafjellet, Nukane, Storsåta and Raunfjellet

Dato:
30.11.2017
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:39t
Distanse:
12,7km

Started from the bus stop in Ervikveien (bus stop called "Øvre Ervik sør") and from there crossed the bridge to Glasskaret, which I then followed all the way to the top, before taking the (unmarked) trail towards Slettafjellet . After a quick visit of Slettafjellet I continued north to Nukane , before crossing Storsåta on the way down to Raunfjellet . Usually the trail here is quite good, but today it was covered by snow and ice. Hence the GPS track does not follow the trail very closely. But when turning west towards Raunfjellet I came across a single pair of footprints in the snow, making it easier to follow the otherwise hidden trail. From Raunfjellet I continued down to Vinddalsveien, passing by Setervatnet on the way. The hike was then concluded by walking along the roads back to Lønborg.

Tirevollsfjellet from Raknesvågen

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:47t
Distanse:
5,7km

Tirevollsfjellet After last weekend's failure to locate the trail(s) to Tirevollsfjellet (see Trying to find a shortcut to Tirevollsfjellet ), I had to give it another go. This time starting from Raknesvågen, which we arrived at by car. The trailhead included a sign with the map of the marked trail to Tirevollfjellet, i.e. without the 's'. We started out southeast along a tractor road, which later turned into a trail, passing by Tirevollsgarden before turning northwest towards the summit. Excellent views from the summit, especially towards Osterfjorden and beyond. A large cairn and a summit register was also available. After a short stay at the summit, we continued northwest along the trail to Raknesvegen. When almost at the road, the trail more or less ended up in someone's garden, and we thought we had taken a wrong turn somewhere. But we shortly came >>>
