Uggdalsvarden, Singelstadfjellet and Ramnanuten

Date:
19.01.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
5:39h
Distance:
21.1km

Given that my last attempt to visit Singelstadfjellet (in combination with Stølafjellet ) had to be abandoned in order to make sure to make it back in time for the ferry (see Stølafjellet and Ilefjellet from Våge ), I was ready for another attempt when a day of reasonable weather finally came around. As usual, I started by taking the bus to Halhjem and the ferry to Våge, but this time the plan was not to ascend Singelstadfjellet from Dalen, as for my previous hike, but rather from Uggdalsdalen, as my research had uncovered a marked trail from Øyjorda up to Uggdalsvarden : Tursti Øyjoro – Uggdalsvarden , and I assumed it should not be too difficult to continue the short distance to Singelstadfjellet from there. From Våge I therefore started by walking along the roads to Øyjorda, hoping I would easily locate the trailhead. This was however not the case, and to be sure, I knocked on a couple of doors >>>

Gullsteinen roundtrip from Grønnestølsbakken

Date:
18.01.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
2:52h
Distance:
11.8km

A revisit of Gullsteinen with the main objective to also visit Speiderly and Olavsbu . From Olavsbu I continued south along the southern part of Løvstien, before following an unmarked trail to Gullstølen /Speiderly. After crossing over Gullsteinen, I decided not to start the usual climb to Løvstakken , and instead turned south/southwest along a trail taking me more or less back to Olavsbu. I then followed Løvstien north until it came to an abrupt end. There I managed to locate a trail that I assumed would take me down to Øvre Fredlundsveien. However, I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, as I ended up with a bit of light climbing and also having to jump a fence in order to finally reach the road. I think the correct route is to rather connect with the northern part of Fredlundsvingen when this opportunity first presents itself. The hike >>>

Melshovden

Date:
10.01.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:40h
Distance:
2.6km

After visiting Håvarden and Kvamsfjellet we stopped at Melshovden on the way back to Bergen. The excellent views from the summit were made even better by the clouds finally clearing. We did not stay for the sunset though, as we were not too keen on descending the rather icy trail in the dark.

Håvarden and Kvamsfjellet from Elvika

Date:
10.01.2020
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
3:11h
Distance:
6.1km

When the weather forecast finally indicated a single day of excellent hiking conditions, and with the rainstorms starting up again the day after, it did not take much convincing for two of my colleagues to take the day off and instead work during the rainy weekend. We decided on Håvarden / Kvamsfjellet and pretty much followed in the footsteps of Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) , first finding parking next to the road at Elvika and then starting up a tractor road to the marked trailhead. The trail was not indicated on the map, but it was marked and overall easy to follow. Some ice towards the end, but little to no snow. While my colleagues took a break at the large cairn called Håvarden, I made the short walk to the highest point of Kvamsfjellet on my own, around 200 meters further north. There was a marked trail here, but it did not head for the >>>
