Storafjellet and Ørnhaugen

Started by taking the bus to Lokøyna (bus stop "Lokøyna kryss nord"), which happens to be exactly where the trail for the rather ironically named Storafjellet begins. I guess the name refers to it being the tallest peak at Lokøyna, if at only 68 meters above sea level. The trailhead did have an information sign, but it was quite deteriorated and fallen to the ground. Not much need for the information though, as the start of the trail was clearly indicated with a small wooden bridge, of which there were several on the way to the summit. We managed to leave the main trail a bit too early though, taking what looked like a weaker trail/shortcut heading north. This trail however quickly disappeared and we had to make our own way to the summit. But we soon reconnected with the main trail and another >>>

Hoklane Started by taking the bus to Blom (bus stop "Blom sør") and easily located the information sign indicating the start of the trail. However I still ended up missing my exit and made a short detour in the direction of Havrå before realizing my mistake. (Basically one has to take the first left up towards the small yellow house.) The nice trail/road took me up to the small barn indicated on the map, but here the trail also more or less disappeared. But by continuing upwards in the direction the map said the trail ought to be, the trail soon became much clearer, and I arrived at a crossroads where it was possible to follow a tractor road in the direction of Såtefjellet . This was not my goal today, so I rather continued north along the trail. But once again I missed my exit and had to backtrack >>>

On the way home from Berfjordfjellet we made a quick stop at the beech forest at Vollom, the northernmost beech forest in the world of its kind. Note: Forgot to turn on the GPS for the first 100 meters.

After the visit to Skardsveten we drove to Bergås for the second goal of the day: Bergåsen . We found parking by the side of the road, but had to ask a local farmer to locate the unmarked trailhead. But even then we managed to take a wrong turn at the very start. This was however quickly corrected and we soon found ourselves on a marked trail. The summit itself provided very limited views. But thanks to Kjell's recent report we continued northwest along the ridge for better views. And shortly after leaving the summit the views opened up, and we could enjoy spectacular views towards Radøy and Holsnøy. The trail itself was also very nice and this extra hike can be very highly recommended. We turned back at the trig marker (now added as a separate PB element), although the trail continued across the top. The farmer we talked to at the >>>

We parked at the small parking lot (room for 2-3 cars, unless filled with heaps of gravel as it was today) and followed the marked route to the summit. Started out in dense forest with the occasional viewpoint, but opened up more towards the end. Nice views from the summit area. It was a bit windy, so we did not stay long before returning to the car via the same route.

Sælsfjellet

Started by taking the bus to Sælsvika (bus stop "Sæle snuplass", i.e. the final bus stop) and after enjoying the excellent views across the harbor towards Folgefonna we walked back along the road to locate the trail towards Sælsfjellet . Thanks to Kjell's recent trip report we quickly located the trailhead and shortly arrived at the southern summit indicated by an antenna. The highest point (if ever so slightly) is however a small cairn about 100 meters further north. The trail did continue in this direction, but turned right (east) before reaching the cairn. Excellent views all around, both towards the sea and towards the snow-covered mountains to the southeast. Highly recommended! After taking lots of pictures (in total my colleague ended up just shy of 200...) we returned to the road and followed it northwest to Hummelsund >>>

Skantane Started by taking the bus to Gåssandskiftet and walking the rather boring 3 km to the parking lot at Hatlelio where I switched from asphalt to gravel for another 3 km in pretty much the same direction. I had been hoping that I'd be walking close to the two lakes, but to my disappointment most of the view towards the lakes was hidden until getting close to Raudlibøen. There is however a trail closer to the lakes, so perhaps worth a try instead of only following the gravel road. As I turned south at Raudlistova the gravel road ended as the trail towards the BJF cabin started (see Bergen Jeger og Fiskerforening ). The trail quality was ok until reaching the BJF cabin, which had a very nice location at the southern tip of Raudlitjørna, but this marked the end of the good trails, even though the trail heading southeast from the BJF cabin >>>

After a meeting at Solstrand I walked up to the main road from where I took the bus to Gjemdal. The marked trailhead was quickly found, which started out as a nice tractor road up the valley in between Rødsfjellet and Møsnuken called Gjemdalsskaret. Decided to follow the red trail towards Rødsfjellet, which was overall well-marked and easy to follow. Sadly it started raining, which combined with low-hanging clouds reduced the views. The rain came and went until reaching the summit, where I walked around a bit hoping for better conditions, but in the end I gave up and started the descent. For the descent I followed the white trail, which was also well-marked, but I did lose it at one point due to it being hidden by snow. Luckily the white painted trail markers were easily visible from a distance and the trail >>>
