Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:

Distance:
7.7km

We started in Søfteland, heading for Gamlevegen. Our first goal was to have a look a this old stone bridge (gamle Torve bro), which -- apparently -- once was part of the old Postal route to Stavanger. This bridge seems to be in a pretty bad condition, hold together by some improvised support structure, these days. We then continued further southwards (following, if not mistaken, the former Postal route). After passing by Gåsakilen (on its western side), we left the "main route" to include Galtåsen "on the way". Since we approached it from the North, this ascent was a bit steep at times (but fully doable). From Galtåsen, we then continued in southwestern direction, eventually "ending up" on a nice forest road. But instead of stepping out and onto Byvegen, >>>

I wished to get some fresh air around my head and thus started a walk without a particular goal in the beginning. At first, I thought that it would be nice to pass by the Otto Wagner church "Am Steinhof" . From there, I continued northwards. But instead of following "the usual tracks" up to Jubiläumswarte , I eventually headed in a more westward direction with the goal to get up to Satzberg. From there, I found a new track (at least for me) down to Hüttelbergstraße. After taking a quick look at the Otto Wagner Villa of Ernst Fuchs -- just from the outside --, I then connected to the cemetary of Hütteldorf, before starting my return leg. Besides the generally nice walk, it also was nice to see the signs of spring (some nice flowers in the forest for example). Selected photos are available as Google photo album .
