Access

From Bergen, drive towards Nesttun and then towards Os. When you come across Valle and drive along Kalandsvannet, turn left into Bontveit. Drive about 1.2 km up the valley and turn right into Almelandsveien. Drive over the bridge and keep right. Follow the road up the hill and around the bend. Park along the road just where the forest road begins.

Parking

Free parking along the gravel road. NB: Do not park in front of the gate to the forest road. If there is no space along the road, you can drive further inland until you find a space. If you are unsure where to park, ask the landowner or the horse people.

Description

Solbakkefjellet (458 m) is a mountain located between Bontveitdalen and Hausdalen.

Go through the gate (remember to close it) and follow the forest road to the top. Follow the forest road on the flat and down the hill to the left. At the bottom of the hill, go right and at the Next intersection, go straight ahead. Here the forest road becomes bad and it is wet.

Følg skogsveien opp den lange bakken til stikryss. Her kommer du inn på traséen fra Kalandseidet til Solbakkefjellet. Herfra er turen merket med røde trepinner i trærne. Følg stien gjennom skog og myrete terreng. Det er jevn stigning hele veien. Du må forsere noen bratte kneiker bla. opp til Stongelia til Smørkisen. Like før den siste stigningen opp til søre ryggen av Solbakkafjellet må du krysse en stor myr. Her er det heldigvis laget bro. Følg deretter stien hele veien opp til vardetoppen.

At the top (458 m. above sea level) there is a cairn with a mailbox and a book. You get a great view of Livarden, Hausdalshorga and Gullfjellet to the north. Møsnuken and Fanafjellet to the south. In the background you can see Folgefonna to the east and the sea to the west.

Recommend going the same way back. For a round trip you can follow the path north along the marsh when you come down to Kjerringaskaret. Then follow the road south again which leads you onto the forest road. (See GPS Track ).

Solbakkefjellet can also be climbed from Frotveit and Hausdalen.
