Slættaratindur

Dato:
02.05.2015
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 >>>

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 >>>

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 >>>

Storsåta from Eidsvåg

Dato:
14.03.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
3:30t
Distanse:
10,6km

Starting from Eidsvåg, we first followed the old postal path (den trondhjemske postvei), before we turned to the right (at Glasskaret), ascending to Slettafjellet. After having visited Fosshøyen, we crossed over to Litlanipa. From there, it only is a few step, before one ascends to Nukane, passing by Stornipa. Passing over Nukane, we got down into Ullskargjelet, before ascending, again -- this time to Storsåta (the highest top on this hike). Continuing, we passed over Gråbeinryggen and Grønabrekkene, looking down to Setervatnet to our right. At Stangelifjellet, we left the main path and descended over a nice ridge, which separates Setervatnet from Vinddalen, first down to the dam of Setervatnet, before then descending through Kløvet to Vinddalsveien. Then, we simply walked down >>>

Viggohytten from Spelhaugen

Dato:
22.02.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
5,0km

Starting from the parking lot at the end of Spelhaugen, we ascended right to Eikelifjellet (with the interesting, large rock on the top!). From there, with some up and down, we continued towards Viggohytten (or so -- the cabin itself does no longer exist, after it burned to the ground, recently!). Then, we basically returned on the same path, but before we came back to Eikelifjellet, we descended towards a forest road above Tennebekkvatnet, leading us back to the parking lot.

Sangoltshornet

Dato:
15.02.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
4,1km

We started right next to Sangoltvatnet and quickly found a path that led us up to Sangoltshornet. This really is no difficult, nor demanding hike. Still, one can enjoy nice views, for example, over Raunefjorden. From Sangoltshornet, we then continued -- without path, mostly -- in a south-easterly direction, passing over three, four additional, minor heights. Eventually, we decended -- also without any path (not 100% recommended) in direction NE (basically towards Sangoltvatnet). Once back down, however, we completed a slightly larger round, including a place near the coast with name Sangolthella / Helleskaget. All in all, the hike was refreshing in nice winter weather! :-) Petter Bjørstad has a useful page about Sangoltshornet . Web page UT.no from the Norwegian Trekking Association recommends another hike up and down Sangoltshornet (also via Mannen).

Løvstakken

Dato:
18.01.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
2:00t
Distanse:
5,4km

Starting from Nils Langhelles vei (its lowest point), we first ascended primarily eastwards, up to a point on the ridge between Gullsteinen and Løvstakken (relatively near to Gullsteinen, actually). Then, we followed the ridge up to Løvstakken and descended on the other side, taking the possible turns to the left, in order to get down, to Krohnegården, again. From there, it then was only a short walk on the street, back to Nils Langhelles vei. A nice 2h winter hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .

Løvstakken

Dato:
11.01.2015
Turtype:
Fjelltur
Turlengde:
1:30t
Distanse:
3,6km

Starting from Krohnegården, we ascended under the (due to storm Nina partially damaged!) cable line up to Løvstakken (the maybe steepest ascend to Løvstakken?!), where we faced cold and icy winds from the north, northwest. This made us return via Strutsefarmen, i.e., first southwards towards Gullstølen, but then westwards and downwards, back to Krohnegården. A quick and nice Sunday hike! :-) Web page WestCoastPeaks.com provides useful information about Løvstakken .
