Kaldestadåsen from Pollen/Podlen

Datum:
04.06.2023
Turtyp:
Fjällvandring
Tidsåtgång:
0:59t
Avstånd:
3,2km

With the ascent of Brattåsen , we had visited all of the five peaks at Halsnøya. We still had time before the planned ferry from Årsnes to Gjermundshamn though and decided to continue our peak bagging across the fjord. After passing through the tunnel to the mainland we found parking at the marked trailhead for Kaldestadåsen from Pollen (or Podlen on the signs). First, we briefly walked along a gravel road before turning onto a marked trail that would take us all the way to the summit. Excellent views across Husnes, and towards our next goal of Bogsnesåsen , from the summit. We initially descended along a slightly different route that later merged with our ascent route. Overall, a nice but steep hike that can be recommended.

Brattåsen

Avstånd:
1,6km

After visiting Sundnessåta , Landåsen , Ravnakulten and Toftåsen , we now only had one summit left at Halsnøy, namely Brattåsen . From Toftåsen we drove west to Haugane and Verdens Ende, passing Halsnøy kloster , and found parking close to the end of the road. We continued northwest on a marked trail that soon turned north and took us all the way to a tree-covered summit with next to no views. We therefore did not stay long before returning along the same route. Clearly the least interesting of the five summits at Halsnøy, but at least it can be reached without any issues.

Ravnakulten from Djupevika

Datum:

Turtyp:
Fjällvandring
Tidsåtgång:
1:23t
Avstånd:
4,8km

From Landåsen , we headed southeast to Djupevika where we easily located the small parking lot at the start of the route to Ravnakulten . First, we followed a tractor road southwest before forking right (west) when spotting the first white plastic trail marker. This took us onto an older tractor road which we proceeded to follow until reaching a second crossroads. As we could not see any trail markers we checked previous trip reports which all seemed to fork right (north) and head towards Dommedalshaugen before turning west towards the summit. We did the same and although the trail briefly turned weaker we had no issues finding our way. Later the trail quality however greatly improved and from there on it was straightforward to reach the summit which provided great views north. (Before descending, we also made a quick visit to an alternative >>>

Landåsen

Datum:

Turtyp:
Fjällvandring
Tidsåtgång:
0:42t
Avstånd:
2,9km

After visiting Sundnessåta , we drove the short distance north to the small parking lot south of Landåsen . From there we followed a tractor road almost all the way to the summit which turned into a trail towards the end. Rather limited views, both from the summit and along the way, hence we did not stay long before following an alternative and slightly more direct route back to the car. Interestingly, this alternative route was marked by an arrow at the summit and was overall easy to follow, but it was not indicated on the map displayed at the trailhead. Overall, not the most interesting hike, but at least it was straightforward to reach the summit.

Another Sunday of hiking with petter (Petter Bjørstad) . This time we decided to stay below the snow and head to Halsnøya and Husnes in Kvinnherad. Petter picked me up at 06:00 and we arrived at Gjermundshamn with plenty of time to spare for the first ferry to Årsnes at 07:45. At 09:00 we were finally ready to start hiking towards Sundnessåta . Marked and easy to follow trails all the way to the summit, with a short steep section at the end. Limited views from the summit itself, but much better views could be obtained from just southwest of the summit and from a viewpoint further northeast. From the summit we returned along the same route to the parking lot. A nice short hike that can definitely be recommended.

Sædalen to Haukeland sykehus via Gløvrehaugen

Tidsåtgång:

Avstånd:

After work I took the bus to Sædalen for a short hike via Gløvrehaugen back to Haukeland sykehus. Including a visit of Gløvrehaugen søyle and a (for me) new trail starting from the top of Sædalssvingene.

Raunefjellet from Gamlesæter

Datum:
28.05.2023
Turtyp:
Fjällvandring
Tidsåtgång:
6:42t
Avstånd:
19,3km

Modalen is not the most easily accessible area by public transport. Therefore, the natural starting point for a hike to Raunefjellet , i.e. the gravel road heading north from Stølen just southwest of the summit, was not an option for me and I instead had to start from Gamlesæter in Romarheimsdalen. This would result in a significantly longer hike but at least around half of it would be on trails. I started by taking the express bus to Gamlesæter and from there followed the unmarked trails via Langedalen to Svartholet . Decided to take off my boots when crossing the small river just west of the cabin as it was deeper than on my last visit three years earlier . After putting my boots back on I continued east to Eiterdalen . Until now I had been able to follow a trail, although a rather wet and muddy one, however at Eiterdalen the trail pretty much disappeared >>>

Avstånd:

As usual after attending a conference at Solstrand , I took a slightly longer detour on the way home than my colleagues. So when they took the bus back to Bergen after lunch I instead took the bus and ferry across the fjord to go hiking in Fusa. After switching buses at “Kilen kryss” I continued on a bus to Sævareid where I turned on the GPS tracking and followed the roads west to Ljotå. My initial plan had been to continue up Ljotådalen for about 1 km and from there head southwest to the summit (as this seemed to be the route of previous hikers). However, when I came across a small bridge on the left-hand side of the tractor road much earlier, I took a gamble that perhaps this would reveal a proper trail to the summit of Håvikemulen . The weak unmarked trail on the other side however soon disappeared, but >>>

Vardafjellet and Dalstuva

Datum:

Fjällvandring
Tidsåtgång:
3:44t
Avstånd:
9,4km

After leaving my bike behind at the trailhead for the roundtrip of Frøkjedalsvatnet, I followed the marked trail north along the lake before heading off-trail for the final 500 meters to the summit of Vardafjellet . The terrain was overall easy to traverse, but there were also areas with lots of moss-covered rocks with small gaps between them such that one had to tread carefully. Closer to the summit the terrain turned steeper and there were more trees and bushes to navigate around, but overall the summit was reached without any real issues. Two large old cairns at the Vardafjellet summit, however the actual summit is most likely the area around the tree just behind the largest cairn. The views from the summit where somewhat obscured by trees, but just a couple of meters to the south there were excellent views towards the south. From the summit >>>
