Trip Summary

With a rather mixed weather forecast, we wished to make a brief excursion to the Atlantic and chose Golta as our goal. After driving there from Bergen and parking at Goltavegen, right between Vogga in the west and Goltosen in the east, we walked towards the coast from there, first following the marked trail. To get around Lutavika, we then followed the coast in norther direction, crossing over to the northwestern part of Golta at the southern end of Jonsvikadalen. On the other side, we then first visited a nice vista point south of Luten, before walking further to Sandvika. There, we basically turned around, then following the marked trail all the way back to the parking place. Given that the day was overall rainy, we actually had quite OK weather and enjoyed this short walk very much! :-)
