Ørnafjellet i Bergen

Dato:
09.05.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
4,6km

We parked north of Gravdal (near Nutec) and followed the road up the northern slope of Lyderhorn (until where it enters the military area). We then followed the path along the southern fence of this area, heading southeast towards Ørnafjellet. From the top of Ørnafjellet, we enjoyed the views over Byfjorden (to the north) and to Lyderhorn and Damsgårdsfjellet (to the south and east). We then aimed at finding the path down the eastern slope of Ørnafjellet, directly to Gravdal, but we left the path, which we had taken up Ørnafjellet much too early. This made us descend through a moderately steep forest (without any path). While doable, this part was not most enjoyable and it should be recommended to follow the actual path downwards. Once down in Gravdal, we returned to the car along >>>

Tindur

Dato:
02.05.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
7,7km

We drove to Elduvík and parked near the cemetery. From there we followed a narrow path (along the northern slope of Skoratindur), along Funningsfjørdur. Between Skoratindur and Tindur, this path leads upwards and over a (not very high!) pass, towards Fuglafjørður. From this pass (below 160m above sealevel) we ascended Tindur, first via its (very!) steep western slope. Before we could reach the top, the slope became so steep that we avoided the last bit by detouring a bit towards the southwestern ascend (which proved to be much easier). From the top one has fantastic views in all directions, wow! :-) Once on the top, we decided to continue towards the eastern-most tip of Tindur, connected by an easy to walk ridge. More wonderful views can be enjoyed from both the ridge and its end >>>

Slættaratindur

Dato:

Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
3,2km

We drove up to Eiðisskarð (pass between Slættaratindur in the north and Vaðhorn in the south) and parked near the highest point on that pass (at about 380m above sealevel). From there, we basically headed straight northwards, (more or less) straight up the quite steep south-slope of Slættaratindur. Doing so, we quickly reached a high ridge, which extends eastwards from Slættaratindur. The ascend was OK (with regular hiking boots) even though it quickly became unavoidable to pass over patches of (steep) snow -- there it was necessary to walk carefully and set each foot consciously. We then followed the ridge towards Slættaratindur. We tried two or three ascends from the eastside, but the proved to be very difficult (climbing, very steep, icy and snowy, etc.) and we decided to descend >>>

Villingadalsfjall

Dato:
01.05.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
5:00t
Distanse:
5,0km

We parked in the northern end of Viðareiði (almost at the end of the upper road, near the place, where the street is a bit wider). From there we went to the end of the road, then along a small stone wall, already ascending towards Villingadalsfjall. Then, we basically followed a series of blue sticks, which someone placed in short distances from each other to indicate the best path up. Ascending to the top proved to be (very) steep in selected places and we had to concentrate -- not at the least due the snow (quite a bit of snow, still). The top itself flattens out and there are magnificent views in all directions! What a great tour! After a short break on the top (even though the weather was very good, the conditions still did not invite to stay on the top for very long), we descended >>>

Haggardsrinden and Kolhusfjellet

Dato:
19.04.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:30t
Distanse:
7,5km

Starting from the parking place near Myrdalsvatnet, we first followed the path around the lake. Soon, we followed the path upwards that also is known as Kubakkane. Shortly before reaching the top, where one would get over to Totland, again, we turned right and fought a short bush war up to Haggardsrinden. From the top, one has a very nice view in all directions! Then, we descended basically towards the same path (Kubakkane), which we only crossed to continued northwards towards Kolhusfjellet. Also up to Kolhusfjellet, we did not really find a good path and so we ascended through the forest. Also from this top, one has very nice views, mostly towards west, via Nordåsvatnet, towards Sotra. We then crossed Kolhusfjellet and descended to Furedalen. Once down in the valley, we turned back >>>

Tennebekksnipa

Dato:
12.04.2015
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
3,3km

Starting from Lyngbø, we first walked up the street through Lyngbødalen, up to the dam of Skitnetjørna. From there, we followed the ridge, before we crossed over and ascended to Tennebekksnipa from north. We enjoyed nice views of Lyderhorn and Tennebekktjørna. We descended to Tennebekktjørna, before we returned, following the path through Trongedalane. Before going down, again, on this path, we turned right and up the ridge, again, from which we descended to see Skitnetjørna (which we followed on its western side, back to the dam). All in all, a "small is beautiful" tour! :-) Selected photos are available as Google+ photo album .

Starting from the last bus stop on Drønen, we walked along the island until we reached Skjenestølen, the highest spot on Drønen -- a short walk, but nice to get out and have some fresh air! :-)

Straumefjellet

Dato:
29.03.2015
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
7,1km

Starting from Varden, we first followed Bjørgeveien for a short distance, then turned left into Kjerreidvika. At the seaside, right opposite to Håkonsvern with all its military ships, we started to follow the shoreline -- first on a path, then directly on the short. At the bottom of Hestabakken, we too a look at a (really) small lighthouse. The area is interesting -- one gets the impression that earlier (during WWII?) some major construction work was done here. After a bit more along the shore, we followed a steep, but easy to climb, ridge up into the direction of Kampen. Eventually, however, we ascended to Straumefjellet, instead, and then returned from there via Bjørndalsskogen. At the very end of Bjørndalssskogen, near house #172, there is a small playing ground for kids -- from >>>

Grøntua

Dato:
15.03.2015
Turtype:
Spasertur
Turlengde:
1:00t
Distanse:
4,9km

Starting from Brønndalen, we quickly ascended to Grøntua -- a small top west of Lyderhorn with a nice view! :-) From there, via Olskvikåsen, a school, and Olsvik (another school), we first descended to Olsvikstallen, from where we ascended to Festeråsen, where still ruins from WWII are visible. From there we went back, once again passing over Grøntua. All in all, a very relaxed Sunday afternoon walk (in great spring weather). Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Grøntua .
