Skånevik: Skålnestangen and Peparen

Date:
18.07.2025
Characteristic:
Walk
Distance:
1.7km

Short late evening stroll after travelling from Bergen to spend the weekend hiking in Skånevik. A journey that turned out much longer than expected given that the boat I was supposed to transfer to at Leirvik had technical issues. Those of us travelling to Skånevik therefore instead had to stay on the boat from Bergen one more stop to Sunde. There we were promised that a taxi would be waiting for to drive us to Utåker such that we could catch the next ferry to Skånevik. The ferry had even agreed to delay its departure by five minutes, which would have been just enough, if the taxi had been there when we got off the boat. It was not, and when it finally arrived the ferry had already left Utåker. As a result, we ended up with almost two hours waiting for the next ferry at Utåker. On the >>>

Hellen festning with Endre!

Date:

Characteristic:
Walk
Duration:
0:11h
Distance:
0.4km

After our short skiing trip in Masfjorden , we, quite unusually for us, returned to Bergen while the sun was still shining. Endre therefore suggested that I perhaps could give him a guided tour of Hellen festning (after seeing my numerous "Across Hellen festning" trip reports here on Peakbook), and I was of course more than happy to oblige. We parked as close to Hellen festning as possible and completed the final short distance on foot. The guided tour was afterwards extended to also include a brief visit of my apartment just as the sun was setting. Takk for nok en strålende dag på tur, Endre!

Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg

Date:
07.10.2024
Characteristic:
Walk

A quick look at the very impressive cathedral in Strasbourg during a short walk in the city center when attending a three-day meeting. From Wikipedia: "Standing in the centre of the Place de la Cathédrale, at 142 meters (466 feet), Strasbourg Cathedral was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874 (227 years), when it was surpassed by St. Nikolai's Church, Hamburg. Today it is the sixth-tallest church in the world and the tallest extant structure built entirely in the Middle Ages. In 1988, the Strasbourg Cathedral was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with the historic center of the city because of its outstanding Gothic architecture." Source: Wikipedia .

A return to Trengereid to take a picture of the train station for the corresponding PB-element . The plan was to also include a revisit of Hananipa , but as it started raining seconds after I got off the bus, I ditched this plan and took the train back to Bergen for a hike there instead .
