Straumefjellet

Date:
29.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from Varden, we first followed Bjørgeveien for a short distance, then turned left into Kjerreidvika. At the seaside, right opposite to Håkonsvern with all its military ships, we started to follow the shoreline -- first on a path, then directly on the short. At the bottom of Hestabakken, we too a look at a (really) small lighthouse. The area is interesting -- one gets the impression that earlier (during WWII?) some major construction work was done here. After a bit more along the shore, we followed a steep, but easy to climb, ridge up into the direction of Kampen. Eventually, however, we ascended to Straumefjellet, instead, and then returned from there via Bjørndalsskogen. At the very end of Bjørndalssskogen, near house #172, there is a small playing ground for kids -- from >>>

Grøntua

Date:
15.03.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
5.0km

Starting from Brønndalen, we quickly ascended to Grøntua -- a small top west of Lyderhorn with a nice view! :-) From there, via Olskvikåsen, a school, and Olsvik (another school), we first descended to Olsvikstallen, from where we ascended to Festeråsen, where still ruins from WWII are visible. From there we went back, once again passing over Grøntua. All in all, a very relaxed Sunday afternoon walk (in great spring weather). Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Grøntua .

Storsåta from Eidsvåg

Date:
14.03.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:30h
Distance:
11.1km

Starting from Eidsvåg, we first followed the old postal path (den trondhjemske postvei), before we turned to the right (at Glasskaret), ascending to Slettafjellet. After having visited Fosshøyen, we crossed over to Litlanipa. From there, it only is a few step, before one ascends to Nukane, passing by Stornipa. Passing over Nukane, we got down into Ullskargjelet, before ascending, again -- this time to Storsåta (the highest top on this hike). Continuing, we passed over Gråbeinryggen and Grønabrekkene, looking down to Setervatnet to our right. At Stangelifjellet, we left the main path and descended over a nice ridge, which separates Setervatnet from Vinddalen, first down to the dam of Setervatnet, before then descending through Kløvet to Vinddalsveien. Then, we simply walked down >>>

Kanadaskogen

Date:

Quick round in Kanadaskogen -- good to get out and refresh the mind! :-)

Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Date:
22.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
5.1km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.

Sangoltshornet

Date:
15.02.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.0km

We started right next to Sangoltvatnet and quickly found a path that led us up to Sangoltshornet. This really is no difficult, nor demanding hike. Still, one can enjoy nice views, for example, over Raunefjorden. From Sangoltshornet, we then continued -- without path, mostly -- in a south-easterly direction, passing over three, four additional, minor heights. Eventually, we decended -- also without any path (not 100% recommended) in direction NE (basically towards Sangoltvatnet). Once back down, however, we completed a slightly larger round, including a place near the coast with name Sangolthella / Helleskaget. All in all, the hike was refreshing in nice winter weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Sangoltshornet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Sangoltshornet (also via Mannen).

Brekkjedalen

Date:
25.01.2015
Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
7.1km

Starting from the end of Hausdalen, we walked along the gravel road into Brekkjedalen. First, this really was an easy walk until the snow got deeper and deeper. In the end, every step was demanding, even though we "only" followed the road. Anyway: A nice and rewarding winter trip in a beautiful valley! :-)

Løvstakken

Date:
18.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
5.6km

Starting from Nils Langhelles vei (its lowest point), we first ascended primarily eastwards, up to a point on the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken (relatively near to Gullsteinen, actually). Then, we followed the ridge up to Løvstakken and descended on the other side, taking the possible turns to the left, in order to get down, to Krohnegården, again. From there, it then was only a short walk on the street, back to Nils Langhelles vei. A nice 2h winter hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Løvstakken

Date:
11.01.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
3.7km

Starting from Krohnegården, we ascended under the (due to storm Nina partially damaged!) cable line up to Løvstakken (the maybe steepest ascend to Løvstakken?!), where we faced cold and icy winds from the north, northwest. This made us return via Strutsefarmen, i.e., first southwards towards Gullstølen, but then westwards and downwards, back to Krohnegården. A quick and nice Sunday hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .
