Bergsbukken, 1162m

Bergsbukken and Liabukken (far right) seen from Bergsdalen North |
Common for all these mountains, is that they are all best accessible from the Li - Høgabu trail.
Access:
On highway E16 Bergen - Voss, from Dale or Bulken (near Voss) take the former main county road over Hamlagrø. At Li, locate the bridge that crosses the Bergsdalselva river. There is a "private parking" sign where it is natural to park the car, and you will have to make a sound decision on where to park. There is room for a couple of cars by the bridge, and you can find some turnouts nearby.
Common to all trails:
Continue over the bridge, and straight ahead towards the forest. The trail is "T" marked all the way to Høgabu. Pass a deserted house, and follow the river for a while. Then the trail crosses the river and ascends steep through the forest. Over the forest, the trail runs on a ridge with a good view of Li. The cairns get larger, and at the top of the ridge you are climbing, you see Kvanngrøfjellet (left) and Gråfjellet (right). The trail descends down to a stream, where a trail junction is marked with a peculiar pole. The trail to Storaskardet pass runs to the left, while Høgabu trail runs to the right.

Notes:
I had big problems getting down Trollskardet in November, due to ice. Total time up to Bergsbukken is
2-3 hours. Walking quickly, I normally reach Høgabu in 1 hour, 10 minutes. So this trail is
excellent for day hikes.
