Raunelifjellet from Grøssviki

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:45h
Distance:
6.6km

For almost two years, Raunelifjellet had been my only remaining summit on the Osterøy ≥ 100m pf. list . When Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) suggested a joint trip to Raunelifjellet, I therefore of course eagerly agreed. After reading previous trip reports, we decided to go for an ascent from Grøssviki northeast of the summit, thus following in the footsteps of elbow (Vegard Magnussen) and arntfla (Arnt Flatmo) . (See their trip reports here and here .) We found parking at the start of a tractor road beginning in the first hairpin turn on the road up from Grøssviki. Plenty of room here for a single car, without blocking neither of the two roads. Here we left the car behind and continued on foot along a tractor road that did not seem to be very frequently used. Soon we left the tractor road behind and continued southwest on a weak road/trail that shortly came to an end. From there on, we followed various deer tracks >>>

Short evening hike with two colleagues, among them yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) , where we followed the standard route from the large new parking lot southeast of the summit. My third visit of Eldsfjellet , but the first to the new "dagsturhytte" called Eldsbu . Windy at the summit and not as much sun as we had hoped but otherwise a very nice short hike.

A return to Stord to complete the Stord ≥ 100m pf. list . I started by taking the express bus from Bergen to Stord and getting off at the stop called "Grov nord E39". From there I followed a marked route southwest, choosing the northern of the two options when the road forked just after the trailhead. This included first crossing a small wooden bridge and then continuing on a nice tractor road that later turned into a trail before again returning to a tractor road, and finally ending up at the paved road heading north. After a short walk along the paved road, I took a shortcut up Omabrekko to arrive at the floodlit ski track south of Lundarstøl . I continued northwest for a quick visit of Lundarstøl, before heading west along the roads to the marked trailhead for Steingilshøgda . For the rest of the hike I would now be on trails >>>

Distance:

My first hike in Sveio! I started by taking the express bus from Bergen and got off at the first stop after the long undersea tunnel from Stord via Føyno. This location was named Ulveråker on the map, while the bus stop was called "Ulveraker nord". In any case, I headed north along a smaller side road not expecting much traffic, especially as there was no side walk except for at the very start. However, during my short walk to the marked trailhead I was passed by what had to be upwards of a hundred motorcycles. I later learned that they have a large gathering in this area on May 1st every year. After passing close by the house of composer Fartein Valen , I arrived at the marked trailhead west of Valesåta and follow the, at the start, relatively steep trail east. Before turning towards Trollevassnibba , I made a short >>>
