Gravdalsfjellet via Eikelifjellet

Date:
06.11.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:45h
Distance:
5.0km

We started from the parking spot at the very end of Spelhaugen in Fyllingsdalen and ascended towards Eikelifjellet at once (we did not start along the major gravel road, which leads up to Tennebekktjørnet, but in parallel to this road, right a little bit to its north). Once over the top of Eikelifjellet, we continued in northern direction and towards Nipetjørna. We crossed over near the southeastern end of Nipetjørna and then continued towards the renewed Viggohytten. From there, it is only a few meters further up to the top of Gravdalsfjellet (not so clear, after all, where the actual top of Gravdalsfjellet is, really). We then decided to take another path down. Even though the terrain is steep, it is well possible to follow a minor path down from Gravdalsfjellet across its western >>>

Finnbunuten

Date:
15.10.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
10.2km

We left E16 northeast of Voss and took road 13 to the north in the direction of Myrkdalen, Vikafjellet. We passed Myrkdalen and the ski center north of it, driving into Holedalen. At the very end of that valley, the road winds steeply upwards at Halsabakkane with the help of four u-turns. Only shortly after, we parked (near Samecampen at Vikafjellet) and crossed the Sendo stream using the rest of a small bridge that leads over to the other, southwestern side. A few minutes later, we reached a place called Finnbuene, where previously people stayed in summer. From there, we continued in southeastern direction towards the edge above Holedalen. While ascending, we slowing changed to a more southern course, heading into the direction of Kaldavatnet. Hiking this part of this trip is straight >>>

Tveitakvitingen from Tveita

Date:
09.10.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
16.4km

We took E16 from Bergen to Trengereid, then following road number 7 to Samnanger, before changing over to road number 48 right after Hagaåstunnelen. We passed through Eikelandsosen and continued to Holdhus, where we changed to a small road, which would lead us into the Tveita valley. Once there, we continued almost all the way in and parked near Bratthus, close to Indre Tveita. From there, we walked the rest of the road into the end of this nice valley, passing the last farm at Brekka soon after. The way continues into Tveitaskaret, where it becomes steep very soon (but easy to hike---mostly, because a gravel road has been constructed---probably to help maintaining a small power station that was opened in Tveitaskaret in 2009). At the end of the gravel road, one can further ascend through >>>

Knappskogfjellet

Date:
02.10.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.4km

We drove to Sotra and turned right (northwards) after Kolltveittunnelen. We continued on road 561 northwards until we came to Knappskog. There, we turned left and followed a narrow road to Fjæreide. We parked right next to the cross, where one enters Dalane (in southern direction). We first wished to get to a path at the southern end of Dalane, but when we got close, a man (the owner of house #194?) informed us that we were not supposed to continue, but return and aim at another path that connects to Knappskogfjellet on the eastern side of Dalane. About half the path back to the main road, we detected this path and used it to get up above Dalane and towards Knappskogfjellet. Proceeding towards Knappskogfjellet was then straight-forward (partially steep, but easy to climb up). On Knappskogfjellet >>>

Tennebekk

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.6km

We parked at the northwestern end of Spelhaugen and walked the forrest road up to Tennebekktjørna. We then rounded the little lake (in clockwise direction). When back to Langedalen, after one round, we decided to walk the forrest road, which leads up to Eikelifjellet up and down, before returning to our car. Selected photos are available as Google+ photo album .

Skarafjellet and Lyseskarfjellet (Fanafjellet)

Date:
25.09.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
6.1km

We drove to Fana, south of Bergen, and took the road, which leads towards Krokeidet, along the southern shore of Fanafjorden. Near Salbu, we found a place, where we could leave the car, and started our hike from there. We passed the houses with numbers 264 and 260 (right there, it was not 100% obvious, how we could optimally connect to the forrest road, which we had planned to find. But continuing around the houses led us to the spot, where the forrest road starts (in southwestern direction). From there, it was "straight-forward", then---at least in the beginning. We followed the forrest road, which wind back and forth, while leading up the northern side of Fanafjellet. While the first few meters of this little forrest road are not really inviting, the picture changes quickly, >>>

Flatafjellet from Helle

Date:
17.09.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:45h
Distance:
16.7km

We took the E16 from Bergen towards Voss. Shortly after passing by Stanghelle, right after driving through Helletunnelen (and before entering Dalevågtunnelen), we left E16 to the left and continued on Sætravegen (for only few meters), which first goes parallel to E16, but then over it (over the tunnel-entry to Dalevågtunnelen) and to the other side. Driving Sætravegen up a little (to the to or three houses, there), we learned that it was not appreciated that we would park anywhere there---instead, we found a very good parking spot right next to E16 (but on its southeastern side). From there, we started walking, first Sætravegen up. At the upper end of the few houses, a trail leaves to the left. We took this trail, which leads one quickly upwards and into Espeligjelet (one could also >>>

Arboretet in Milde

Date:
11.09.2016
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
4.7km

We parked at the Dalsmyra parking at the northwestern end of the arboretum. From there, it's an easy walk along a simple forrest road (mostly eastwards, first), before one gets into the heart of the arboretum. After passing a covered sitting area, we turned left---circling halfways around Mørkevatnet (with some nice views over this little lake). We then ascended the few meters upwards to enter the garden with many different Rhododendron-plants. After having enjoyed some nice views over Vestrepollen in the northwest, we turned right and continued in southeastern direction towards Langemyra---there, we connected to a path the lead us outwards to Store Brandaneset. At the southeastern end of Store Brandaneset, we enjoyed a really nice place directly at the sea. From there, we then returned---first >>>

Skardalsfjellet via Brattlandsfjellet

Date:
11.09.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
10.4km

We parked near Dyngelandsvatnet along Dyngelandsvegen and walked along the private road that passes south of the lake (Dyngelandsvatnet) and then leads further to Myrdalsvatnet, where it turns left, continuing then in mostly northern direction from there towards Langavatnet, west of Flåfjellet. In a pretty wet area, where lots of water is coming down from high above (from between Stordalsfjellet and Flåfjellet), the gravel road ends and one continues along the valley on something that is largely a underwater hiking path . One passes Langavatnet on the west, following more or less along the water line. At the northern end of this lengthy lake, we crossed over to the other, eastern side---connecting to the place, where we had come down during an earlier hike . Now, we ascended through the wild---right underneath >>>

Tørviknuten and Visoldo

Date:
04.09.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
17.6km

We took FV7 from Bergen towards Hardanger and turned right in Nordheimsund, following road 49 from there. We passed Tørvikbygd and when we had Eidesvatnet to our left, we entered a very small and narrow road, leading up to Åse. We parked a few meters above the farm and started to walk along a forrest road that extends further up from there. As we got higher on this forrest road, we started to pay attention to where a suitable path would take off (to the left and up). When passed Åsstølen (on the right), we started to be particularly curious, but still no inviting opportunity appeared on our left-hand side. Eventually, we decided to walk all the forrest road up (and over a small saddle right west of Hågeli), leading towards a place, where they obivously deal with some sheep, or the >>>
