Liafjellet from Moberg

Date:
14.08.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
4.9km

South of Bergen, we crossed Ulvenvatnet near Os on the E39 and drove off it near Os Brannstasjonen in Moberg, right after coming through Liafjellstunnelen. We parked right next to the firestation and started to walk from there. Due to some construction work there, we could not use Halhjemsvegen, where it meets Mobergsbakken. Following a substitution path (leaving Mobergsbakken between Halhjemsvegen and Olavegen), we surrounded the construction site and connected to Liafjellstunnelen. When coming there, right in the beginning of this hike, we did not understand that crossing the E39 first on the lower gravel road (and turning left doing so) leads one to another forrest road that brings one back to the top of Liafjellstunnelen. We therefore ascended Liafjellstunnelen directly, connecting >>>

Sveningen from Hausdalen

Date:
12.06.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
13.5km

This time, we had two cars, so we parked one at the very end of Hausdalen (where Brekkedalen starts). We then took the other car to get to our starting point, a little further out Hausdalen (near Samdalsvatnet, Tømmervika, Straumsrinden, Hausdalsvegen 425---about 3.4 km away from the parking at the very end of Hausdalen). This start point for the hike is not 100% obvious and one needs to know, where to leave the street in Hausdalen. One then drives just a few meters up a gravel road, before there is space for two or three cars on the left side. From there, we followed the forrest road, first over Straumsrinden (passing by Samdalsvatnet). On its southern / southwestern end, one uses two bridges to get over the stream that continues further out Hausdalen. Only shortly after, one crosses >>>

Møsnuken

Date:
17.04.2016
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
11.9km

We took road E39 southwards from Bergen, passing by Kalandsvatnet and driving all the way to Ulven (near Os), where we turned left (right next to a gas station), finding the small road connecting to Tyssdal. On the other side of Oselva, near the point, where Tyssdalselva is coming down from Møsnuken, we found a parking place and started to hike from there. Since we wished to start with Borgafjellet, this time, we first tried to connect to the gravel road that connects Tyssdal with Os (right next to Oselva, on its eastern side). We could have done this "the easy way" :-) -- instead, we walked up to the houses on the hillside south of Tyssdal. Up there, we understood that we were too high and descended the few meters down to the gravel road through the forest. Following the gravel >>>

Lyshornet

Date:
26.09.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:00h
Distance:
8.8km

We parked right next to Pøyla/Kalvatræ and followed the gravel road that leads up to Svartavatnet/Ulvvatnet, first. That's an easy walk and one passes a point, maybe 200m before getting to the dam, where one can enjoy a really nice view over Lysefjorden! Once at the dam, one could continue on a smaller path (on the western side of Svartavatnet/Ulvvatnet), but we turned around and followed the gravel road that we had walked up, first. About half way back, right underneath Geithaugen in the west, and at about 145mosl, a nice path towards Lysehornet leaves (to the east). We followed this path (via Grønhovda) to Lysehornet and enjoyed the great views that one has from there. From Lysehornet, we descended via the other path, which leads (via Lyshornskaret) to the ruins of Lyseklosteret. >>>

Raudlifjellet

Date:
22.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:30h
Distance:
4.5km

A few hundred meters south of the gas station in Søfteland (along the E39), a narrow bridge leads over to Tømmernes. Behind there, right before crossing the little stream, which comes down there to enter Røkenesvatnet, we parked the car and walked into Botnabekken. We first tried to find a forest road on the northern side of the stream, but this was mostly forest terrain -- very wet, actually! About 100 height meters up in Tømmernesdalen, we crossed the stream, again, and continued -- steeply! -- towards the east (and up Raudlifjellet). This ascent was mostly without any path (at least not any visible path) -- still, this worked pretty nicely and we quickly arrived on a nice long ridge that would bring us to the top. Up on Raudlifjellet, we connected to the path that we had walked before (in 2014) and returned on it back to >>>

Sveningen from Midseterfjellet

Date:
02.08.2015
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:15h
Distance:
19.3km

We parked our car at the end of Øvredalsvatnet (in Øvredalen) and walked back (southwards) along the lake to get to our starting point for the hike over the ridge (in Løyningdalen, right south of where Øvredalesvatnet "ends"). We then walked up the narrow road, which leads up to Midætret, where a small number of houses assemble. From there, we first followed (for a short stretch, only) a forrest road, which leads mostly westwards, before then taking the hiking path that leads up to Midseterfjellet. First, we hiked in the forrest, but as soon as we left the trees behind, nice views opened, first mostly in western direction. The approximately 15 degrees Celsius were comfortable hiking weather -- in the beginning, however, it rained freshly melted snow, which brought the though >>>

Via Gråfjellet towards Sveningen

Date:
05.10.2014
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
6:30h
Distance:
17.5km

We parked the car in Løyningdalen, right next to the street into Øvredalen. We then crossed the river (bridge) and continued into Stordalen. Following Stordalen, we passed by Gråfjellet and climbed up to Midtfjellet first. From there, we changed over to Gråfjellet, going a bit back in direction. From Gråfjellet, we then descended to Leina and followed the ridge in direction Baggeskaret. From there we continued along the ridge, first via Selsfjellet and then to Utløfjellet, before we started a quite steep ascent towards Sveningen. Basically, most of this tour was along the border between Os and Samnanger. After having almost reached the top of Sveningen, we descended into Øvredalen (on the trail which connects Øvredalen and Sveningen). All in all, this tour was quite long (> >>>

Raudlifjellet

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:00h
Distance:
8.6km

Nice small tour up Raudlifjellet (via Nordhordlandskulten) from Tømmernes -- the path is not easy to find at once, but once one has found it (also not difficult), it's nice and easy to the top(s). Some nice views towards Kalandsvatnet and towards Os.

Duration:

Distance:

This time, we took a new route to the top: from Brekkjedalen -- that's actually very attractive and rewarding!

Nice quick hike (from Gjemdal) on a path which obviously is not used all too often! Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Rødsfjellet and also Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Rødsfjellet .
