Vossavangen to Seimsgrend
Still low on energy after a week on the couch due to the flu, I decided to go for something less ambitious than usual on a Sunday. The main goal being to visit my only remaining train stop between Bergen and Ljosandbotn (see the Stasjoner på Bergensbanen list), namely Seimsgrend haldeplass. I took the train to Voss and from there simply followed a combination of cycling/walking paths and smaller roads with limited traffic east to Bulken. Here I crossed the river via the bridge and briefly continued along the main road to Hamlagrø. An increase in the amount of traffic and the lack of a sidewalk made this the least enjoyable part of the hike. Thankfully it only lasted for less than 1 km before I could leave the main road and start descending on the smaller gravel road to Seim. The train stop at Seim/Seimsgrend was easily located and I only had to wait around 15 minutes before the train showed up. Overall, a nice short hike that might have been even nicer as a bike ride.
