Bulandet by bike (and Høgkletten)

Date:
08.09.2024
Characteristic:
Bike trip - mixed
Duration:
5:00h
Distance:
31.5km

We got onto our bikes on Værøyna and headed westwards into the direction of Bulandet along Nordsjøvegen. After crossing over several bridges, we made our first stop on Gjørøyna to take a look at "Ro" by artist Geir Hjetland. From there, we continued further southwestwards until we "hit" the end of the road at Halsøy. There, we stepped up to Slotteholmen to enjoy some views. We then biked over to Nikkjøyna and from there further to Hellersøyna, where we walked a little bit southwards to see the sculpture of Berte and Hansine. Then, we biked back to Værøyna (along the same road that we had taken to Bulandet, i.e., Nordsjøvegen). At Værøyna, we had a brief discussion and decided that only one of us would also include the short hike up to Høgkletten. I thus >>>

Instenova and Ytstenova on Alden

Date:
07.09.2024
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
4:00h
Distance:
6.2km

We had stayed on Værøyna over night and then could borrow a small boat to get over to Alden. We "parked" the boat at the main quay in Aldevågen and started our hike from there. Following the one trail that leads up to the top(s) of Alden, we made quick progress -- the terrain is very steep, but the trail is very good and easy to step up. Once up to about 300 masl, we headed towards the hightest peak on Alden, Instenova, in the East of the island. Following the main trail, we could nicely make it to the top without any difficulties. Clearly, one gets lots of great views from the heights on Alden -- very nice! :-) After our visit to Instenova, we then wished to also see "the other top", Ytstenova, on Alden. To get there, we crossed over the heights, passing by the >>>

Blægja

Date:
29.07.2019
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
7:00h
Distance:
10.1km

After day #5 of our five days hike through Breheimen , we decided to a "bonus hike". After driving mostly westwards from Breheimen, we stayed in Førde for the night (our goal was to hike up Blægja the next day). The next morning, after driving further westwards from Førde, following road #609 along the southern coast of Førdefjorden, we parked between Hestvika and Rørvika near an information board, right next to the road. After walking down the road for a short stretch, we easily found the trail-head, leading southwards from the road. After first following a forest road for a short distance, the trail leaves to the right and into the forest (once you find it, it's then easy to follow). The path leads upwards, through the forest, staying on the eastern side of a valley, where water from Nipevatnet and Tobbedalsvatnet >>>
