Knappen

Date:
20.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.2km

We started from Varden, Einerhaugen, crossed Bjørgeveien and ascended along Vassteigen towards Knappen. This time, however, we walked around Knappetjørna, first, before ascending to the "top" of Knappen. Afterwards, we basically took the same path back. Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Knappen .

Langrinden (Ulriken)

Date:
17.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
2.6km

We started from Haggardshaugen (right above Montana Vandrehjem), followed Skiveien / Johan Blytts vei up to the point, where a little bridge crosses over a small stream. Instead of crossing the bridge, we turned left and followed the ridge up (first towards the power line mast, then along the ridge further up). This is a very nice way up to Ulriken. Since time was late, already, and it started to get dark (also, we reached the clouds at a point which is marked with Langrinden), we decided to not ascend all the way up to Ulriken, but turn around and go back, instead. All in all, a short and nice evening hike, right after work! :-) Selected photos are available as Google+ photo album . Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Haugavarden, Ulriken, Storfjellet, and Landåsfjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Ulriken . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends the same hike up Ulriken . On Bergentopp 200 there is a page (in Norwegian) about Ulriken .

Alteret

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
3.5km

We parked in Haganes, almost at sea level, and near this little park, which they have set up close to the sea. Actually, before starting our hike, we first inspected this little park, which is there in Haganes kind of unexpected! :-) We then walked along the sea for a few meters (on the eastern side of the bay, vis-a-vis Notaneset), before we connected to another small road, serving a number of new houses there. Behind the houses on the eastern side of this road, we eventually found a narrow path, leading in southeastern direction (as we had planned). We managed to get around and up the first cliff, following this simple path, and crossed over, then, along a comparably wet path, to the next cliff. Climbing a few steps up and around, we ended up at the other side to this small cliff and >>>

Damsgårdsfjellet from Laksevåg

Date:
05.03.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.8km

We parked near Holen school, at the northern part of Laksevåg. Following Øvre Holen, first, for a few meters (towards northwest), we found the trail head, from where we ascende do Rundetoppen and Holefjellet first (along a nice ridge with views over Laksvåg and towards Lyderhorn). We then descended into the valley (to the southwest from Holefjellet), in which we met another path up from Laksevåg (from Nygårdslien). From there, we continued towards Espedalen, right underneath Olsokfjellet. At the upper end of Nordnæsdalen, where the is a little hut and a simple soccer field, we crossed over to the side of Olsokfjellet and ascended to the top via its southern ridge. From Olsokfjellet, we continued to Damsgårdsfjellet and descended from there via its northern ridge towards Laksevåg. >>>
