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 >>>

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 >>>

Kristinuten

Date:

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
8.3km

We started from the road between Ulvik and Osa, driving basically to the top of the saddle (between Ulvikafjorden and Osafjorden). There, we continued a little bit further on a side road the passes by Øydve. When getting close to the forrest, we parked and started hiking. The first 300 height meters are convenient on a forrest road that winds back and forth towards Liastølane. Then, one needs to pay attention. A sign ("Kleppe", I think) tells to leave the forrest road and continue along a minor path. This trail is really hard to find---the best tip is to look out for small stones that mark the path. One first ascends further through the forrest before reaching the tree line very soon. From there, it is basically straight up to the top of Kristinuten. It is recommended to >>>

Oksen

Date:
15.05.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
9.4km

We drove the beautiful road no. 7 into Hardangerfjorden. At Granvin, we connected to the road that comes down from Voss, turning right (into the direction of the new Hardanger-bridge and Ulvik, etc.). We passed the long tunnel (about 8 km), continued towards Ulvik (not up to the bridge) and turned right into a small road right after the tunnel (this place is not completely obvious and paying a little extra attention right after the tunnel helps). From there, we drove (in a way back ) all the way out to the tip of the peninsula on which Oksen is the last mountain. The end of the road (and the starting point for hiking) is Tjoflot. There, one can drive a bit up (passing the farms there) and find a parking spot right after entering the forrest. From there (at about 230 meters over the sea >>>

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
12.8km

Starting from a place near Øydvenstod, I first followed Osavegen up to the saddle towards Ulvik. There, I turned left, westwards, and ascended the few meters up to Håheim. From there, I followed the marked path -- in southwestern direction -- in order to get up to Åsen. It's not so clear, where the top actually is -- Åsen is well-covered with a forest and there are a number of ups and downs. I found my way to the antenna that is also seen from Ulvik and from there, via a simple path, down to Vattatveit. From there, I first followed the forest road, but when it turned left -- in eastwards directions -- I left it (to the right) and crossed Trånemyrhaugen (basically without any path). I crossed another forest road and continued (without path), this time up Vetlefurehaugen. On the other >>>

Distance:

Beautiful tour up and down Oksen -- in fantastic summer weather! :-) We started from the parking place right above Tjoflot (at about 200m above the fjord) and took the (nice!) path via Vindhovden up to Oksen (we made the top, roughly 1000m above the parking place, after about 100mins.). We then continued to Veten and enjoyed the views and a break there! :-) Then back to Tjoflot, more or less the same path. Selected photos are available as Google+ photo album .
