Short excursion into Kanadaskogen (from Fyllingsdalen)

Date:
28.02.2018
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
1:00h
Distance:
2.2km

Quick winter excursion into Kanadaskogen from Fyllingsdalen. Since the weather was beautiful and the snow invited for an excursion (and there was a bit of time), I used the opportunity to do a quick excursion into the vicinity of Nipetjørna. Up and down in short time, but greatly enjoyed! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Snow-covered Liatårnet (via an unusual route)

Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
9.2km

Very nice hike over snow-covered Liatårnet! We started from the west, followed the road (towards the shooting range), before we then entered one of the main hiking paths to Liatårnet (the main route up from the west). But instead of following this path all the way up, we took a turn to the right (southeast) shortly before reaching the main west-face of Liatårnet (at about 200mosl) and connected to another, not so major path, which leads up to Liatårnet from the south. We then connected to Pyttane, walking through a lovely winter landscape, passing by Tårnavatnet. Instead of then following the main road up/down Pyttane, we continued "along the ridge towards the north" (without a path). One has to look a little, where to go, but it's quite possible (especially with enough >>>

Characteristic:
Bike trip - road
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
43.5km

We started from nearby the main train station in Rotterdam, where we rented a bike. We then headed into northwestern direction in order to get outside of the city. We passed by Vroesenpark and continued further towards the airport of Rotterdam. We crossed through the Park de Buitenplaats and passed by the airport on its southwestern side. Once we arrived at Doenkade, we used the bridge to get over both the highway A13 and the canal Delftsche Schie. On the other (western) side, we got down from the bridge, then following the canal Delftsche Schie northwards in its western side. Near Kandelaar we turned towards the west, heading into Middendelfland. We then surrounded the more urban area in its north, following some very nice little roads through a nice rural area. Shortly, after crossing >>>
