Paddling Liasundet from Hardbakke

Date:
15.07.2021
Characteristic:
Kayaking
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
19.1km

To round off our visit to Solund, we wished to explore this wonder world of islands also from the water. Thus, we had booked a double kayak from a place in Hardbakke that we took out to get around Liasundet for half a day. Leaving Hardbakke, we first paddled northwards on the eastern side of Liasundet, heading towards Råke and Råkeneset in particular, where we had stayed the past few nights. From Råkeneset, we then headed westwards and paddled between Hogneskjela and Hågøyna towards Færøyna, which we then surrounded in its north (in counterclockwise direction). On Litle Færøyna (in the south of Færøyna) we expected to find a place, where we could have a nice little break and indeed, after first also paddling almost all around this island (in its west), we found the indeed nice >>>

Pollatinden from Råkeneset

Date:
14.07.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
8:30h
Distance:
15.0km

The "big" hiking plan of these few days in Solund was to hike Pollatinden -- but to do this from Råkeneset, where we stayed overnight before and after. The matter of fact that Pollatinden, as well as quite a few of the other landmarks around it, exposes significant cliffs towards the west/northwest (and Råkeneset is exactly in the northwest of Pollatinden), turned this hiking plan into a non-neglegible challenge. When studying the map, it appeared that we could follow one of two routes of "attack": either from the north (via Råkefjellet and then up between Sandvikfjellet and Pollatinden) or from the south (via Storefjellet), while the "standard" approach to Pollatinden (as marked trail) is from the southeast, i.e., exactly from the other side of the mountain, >>>

Urdanipa

Date:
13.07.2021
Characteristic:
Hillwalk
Duration:
0:30h
Distance:
1.8km

After our longer hike on Ytre Sula , we still had some appetite and thus decided to pay the north of Sula a short evening visit. Driving eastwards on road 606, passing by Hardbakke along the way, we surrounded Pollatinden and then Hagefjorden (both in their south), before coming close to Ulvegreina. North of that mountain, we then left road 606, turning left (into northern direction, towards Hersvikbygda and Leknessundet). While briefly considering to make a quick hike up to Husefjellet (in the southeast of Hersvikbygda), we then decided to "just" do Urdanipa (south of Leknessundet). The road towards Leknessundet gets actually quite near to Urdanipa, passing over a small saddle in the west of this little top. Finding a suitable place for parking the car, however, is not 100% easy as the road is very >>>

Sperrefjellet and Nordsjøløypen on Ytre Sula

Date:
13.07.2021
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:30h
Distance:
10.3km

Staying in Solund for a few days, we also wished to explore Ytre Sula a little. We thus drove westwards from Hardbakke, using road 606. At the very end of this road, at Gjerdneset, we then took the ferry that brought us out to Ytre Sula (to Halldorsneset), crossing Ytre Steinsundet. After weighing several ideas against each other, we ended up with an attempt on Sperrefjellet (not far from Halldorsneset). About half a kilometer from Halldorsneset, we turned left at the T-junction, continuing (for only a short stretch) into the direction of Hjønnevåg. As soon as Sperrevatnet appeared on our left (in the south), we parked on the right, where also a sign marks the trail head for the beginning of this hike. The first section of this hike was then up to Ytre Heia (a little steep, but well-marked >>>
