Exploring several grottos in Dumdalen

Datum:
12.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
2:00h
Entfernung:
2,8km

After a night at Jotunheimen Fjellstue, we decided to explore Dumdalen and (some of) the caves there. Parking right next to the road that leads further up to Sognefjellet, we used trails on both sides of Dumma to get up and down Dumdalen. While we certainly did not see all of the caves, we easily found several of them. Next to some of them, we also identified the markers (like "G3", "G10", etc.). The first aspect of this grottos that impressed us was the matter of fact that not so small Dumma disappears several times entirely in them. So it's not just interesting caves, but also an energetic mountain stream that rushes through several of them! While we mostly looked at these caves from the outside, we could not resist and also entered two (or three) of them. Especially >>>

Sagasøylen at Elvesæter

Datum:
11.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:15h
Entfernung:
0,1km

While driving up to Sognefjellet from Lom, we came by Elvesæter in Leirdalen. Spotting Sagasøylen (or Eidvollsmonumentet) by Wilhelm Rasmussen right next to the road, we made a short stop to have a look. This over 30 meters high column -- in "the middle of nowhere" -- is definitely a sight, also with its interesting history (originally planned as a monument to be erected in Oslo in front of Stortinget, it eventually survived due to the private initiative of Elvesæter hotel).

Vestkapp on Stadlandet

Datum:
10.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
0,6km

After first paying Vågsøy and Måløy a short visit, we continued to Stadlandet. Our first stop was Vestkapp on Kjerringa in the northwest of Stadlandet. Taking the road up to a parking spot quite close to the actual top, we eventually entered some very thick (and wet) clouds that enshrouded all of the top. Even just a few meters from the massive meteorological radar station on top of Kjerringa we had some difficulties to actually find and see it! :-) Since our views were extremely limited anyway (and it was quite a bit wet, also!), we decided to not stay there for any significant time, but return to our car soon, instead, with our next goal, Stålet , in front of us! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Short visit to Hendanes Fyret

Datum:
10.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:00h
Entfernung:
1,4km

After visiting Kannesteinen , we also wished to see the other side of Torskangerpollen and walking out to the small light house at Hendanes seemed to be a good idea. :-) The path out there is in fact nicely prepared so that this very much is an easy and full uncomplicated walk. Once out at Hendaneset, we enjoyed some great views, not only across Torskangerpollen, but also across Kvalheimsvika to Ytre Kvalheim as well as into the opposite direction (towards Klovningen). Nice walk! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Kannesteinen on Vågsøy

Datum:

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
0,2km

On our way to Stadlandet, we also paid Vågsøy and Måløy a visit. On Vågsøy, we then also drove out to Kannesteinen near Nordoppedalen. Not only is this stone impressive with its particular shape, but also the whole scenery around Torskangerpollen is worth seeing! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Havreneset and Nordnes in Florø

Datum:
09.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
1:30h
Entfernung:
3,8km

After arriving relatively late in Florø, we still wished to get a bit of fresh air. We also liked the idea to visit Nordnes in the northwest of Florø and so we just went onto a short but nice stroll. First, we visited Havreneset, where quite a bit of installation of an (old) radio station (Florø Radio, discontinued after 2018) is still to be seen. We then stepped along the coast to Nordnes and the marina in Håvågen there. Always nice to smell a bit of ocean air; especially after a long drive! :-) See also the related FB-page Hiking around Bergen, Norway .

Two old stone crosses in Eivindvik

Datum:
09.07.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
0,7km

After visiting Gulatinget east of Eivindvik, we continued to Eivindvik to see the two old stone crosses there, also. We parked near the harbor and first walked up to Gulen church (east of the harbor) to see the first cross (Olavskorset). It's standing there with some help now after it broke into two when a nearby tree was cut down in 2012. From there, one can already see the other cross (Korset i Krossteigen), standing a bit up in Krossteigen some (maybe) 250 meters further north. An accordingly short walk brought us up there then. This second cross is interesting as it seems to show some celtic flair. To compensate for that, maybe, they added a smaller, Latin cross (by embossing it out of the main cross). Clearly worth a close look! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album . See also the related FB-page >>>

Gulatinget near Eivindvik

Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
0:30h
Entfernung:
0,6km

On our way northwards through Gulen, we stopped by Gulatinget near Eivindvik. Following road 605 from Nordgulen (and road 57 there) we stopped once near Guløyna and explored the park (Tusenårsstaden) and the monument of Bård Breivik (Tingveggen). We also enjoyed a nice chat with one person there, who was very kind to explain some of the related history to us! :-) Selected photos are available as Google photo album .

Sandsvika from Barbogen

Datum:
28.06.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
5:00h
Entfernung:
9,8km

Given another day with low handing clouds, we chose to visit Sandsvika, Senja's longest sand beach! :-) While it seems possible to get to Sandsvika from Ballesvika (via Tortenberget, then passing by Teisten over Teisteskaret), also (long hike, in particular when done there and back in one go), we decided to walk over to Sandsvika from Barbogen. To get to Barbogen, just across Gryllefjorden, we contacted Kaikanten in Gryllefjord and they offered to ship us over (and later back, also) by boat from Gryllefjord. This worked just perfectly and easily got to Sandsvika from Barbogen, walking across Sandsvikskaret along the way. Sandsvika is indeed very impressive (also the history of it -- we learned, given that this information was accurate, that at one time longer ago a four-digits number of people lived >>>

Bekkarhalsen at Skøyteneset

Datum:
25.06.2023
Tourcharakter:
Spaziergang
Tourlänge:
4:00h
Entfernung:
7,3km

With no major mountain tops to see (due to low hanging clouds), we decided to make another excursion along the shoreline -- this time to Skøyteneset from Medfjordvær. We parked near Knuten in the north of Mefjordvær and walked up to Halsen, first. Then we included Knuten, which offers some nice views (even though it's not really high). We then also stepped down to the small lighthouse in the north of Knuten, before returning to Mefjordvær along the outer route around Knuten on its eastern side (probably the connection for those, who have to work at the lighthouse; or had to, previously). After this short Knuten intermezzo, we then headed out to Skøyteneset along the marked trail in the west of Knutevika, reading first about Russehula and then about Munken. Further out, the trail leads >>>
