Marøy

Hike
Duration:
1:14h
Distance:
3.2km

Upon completing our trip to Sjøbua , we decided to take inspiration from Kjell51 (Kjell Øijorden) 's earlier hike at Marøy . We therefore drove the short distance northeast to a parking lot intended for hikers and followed the trails west/northwest. Here there were lots of traces of buildings made by the Germans during the second world war. Again, the strong northerly wind reduced our desire to explore. I did however make a short detour on my own to the small lighthouse at the northwestern tip of the island, for some great views towards the sea and the island of Fedje. When returning to the parking lot, I also made a minor detour to visit the highest point on Marøy .

After the short walk around Kvassnesstemma , we drove north to Radøy for a visit of Sjøbua . From the parking lot to the cabin there is only around 700 meters and, especially for the latter half, there is excellent views along the way. Excellent views from the cabin as well, although today a strong northerly wind cut our stay short. I did however do a quick detour on my own to the peninsula of Byngjo, before we all returned to the parking lot.

Bordalsgjelet from Voss train station

Date:
17.04.2023
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:20h
Distance:
5.6km

When spending two days at a conference at Voss, I took advantage of an extended break before the evening's dinner for a visit of Bordalsgjelet . The route to Bordalsgjelet is marked with signs all the way from Tintrabrui , however I somehow missed the first sign and ended up with an alternative route via Gjernesvegen. More or less the same distance, but more traffic and no sidewalk until the road turns north, hence I would recommend using my return route in both directions. Before crossing the bridge across Bordalselvi, I followed a sign to a viewpoint northwest of the bridge that provided a nice view across what I guess one can call the end of Bordalsgjelet. I then continued to the parking lot and from there followed the trail into Bordalsgjelet. Note that while this trail has safety railing, it is still closed during the winter, >>>

Kossdalssvingane

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:16h
Distance:
8.1km

A return to Osterøy for a visit of Kossdalssvingane . We parked outside Hosanger Montessoriskule and started on the indicated roundtrip around Holevatnet before heading southeast along Kossdalsvatnet to arrive at the bottom of the very impressive Kossdalssvingane. After ascending to the top of the 17 steep hairpin turns we continued southeast to the upper parking lot before returning the same way, however this time following the gravel road on the west side of Holevatnet and completing our roundtrip. In summary, an excellent short hike that can be very highly recommended!
