Sognefjord in a Nutshell SOGNEFJORD IN A NUTSHELL 5 nights from €1295 per person sharing (plus taxes) Valid from 01 May - 30 September 2020 Start with 2 nights in Oslo and take in some great museums and galleries including the Vigeland Sculpture Park. During summer the days are long with over 18 hours of daylight available for numerous pursuits. Norway was home to some adventurous explorers including Thor Heyerdahl of Kon-Tiki fame and you can still see the original papyrus raft on display in the Kon-Tiki Museum. One of the most beautiful railway journeys in the world is that between Oslo and Bergen. Cross through lush countryside and past majestic glaciers before disembarking in the heart of the mountains at the tiny station of Myrdal. A second train, the Flåmsbanen, winds down almost sheer mountainside taking you to Flåm. The hour-long trip includes a stop at the thunderous Kjosfossen waterfall. Flåm marks the head of the longest fjord in the world, Sognefjorden. A high-speed ferry takes you along the full length of this stunning waterway, stopping at isolated picture-book villages along the way. At the village of Balestrand you disembark in time for dinner and overnight at the Kviknes Hotel, overlooking the fjord. The Kviknes is a member of De Historiske hotels of Norway. You have most of the next day free to explore Balestrand or you could take the Fjaerland Glacier tour (book locally the day before). It starts with the early 1.5-hour ferry ride taking you along the fjord to Fjaerland. A coach brings you to the fascinating Norwegian Glacier Museum and Visitor Centre. Then you continue by bus up to Boyabreen, an arm of the huge Jostedalsbreen Glacier. The ferry brings you back to Balestrand. In the late afternoon you catch the express boat taking you to Bergen. As you arrive into Bergen your first view is that of the city’s old harbour, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Bryggen. Bergen offers outdoor markets, great restaurants, tours inland and a funicular rai lway to Mount Fløyen where you get a panoramic view of the town. Subject to availability & exchange rate.

  • Høyring - Fredingsområde for Hummar I Aurland, Balestrand, Høyanger, Leikanger, Luster, Lærdal, Sogndal Og Vik Kommunar - Sogn Og Fjordane
    Aurland kommune Adm.enhet: Forvaltningsseksjonen i region Vest Vangen 1 Sakshandsamar: Hanne Marie Utvær Telefon: 91102779 5745 AURLAND Vår referanse: 18/934 Dykkar referanse: Dato: 26.06.2018 Høyring - fredingsområde for hummar i Aurland, Balestrand, Høyanger, Leikanger, Luster, Lærdal, Sogndal og Vik kommunar - Sogn og Fjordane Fiskeridirektoratet region Vest sender ut forslag til fredingsområder for hummar i Sognefjorden på høyring. Frist for uttale er sett til 31. august 2018. Merknadar til framlegget sender du til [email protected]. Kommunane Høyanger, Vik, Balestrand, Leikanger, Sogndal, Luster, Lærdal og Aurland, har gått saman om forslag til freding av hummar for i alt 17 områder i Sognefjorden. Fredingsområda skal gjelde frå land og ut til 50 meters djup. Innanfor desse områda skal hummaren vere totalfreda. For 14 av områda vil det gjelde forbod mot fiske med fastståande reiskap som teiner, ruser og garn gjennom heile året. For 3 av områda (Sogndalsfjorden, Aurlandsfjorden og Lusterfjorden) vil det gjelde forbod mot hummarteiner gjennom heile året. Fredingsområda vert foreslått innført for 10 år. Om innføring av fredingsområder for hummar Fredingsområder for hummar er eit reguleringstiltak som kjem i tillegg til dei meir tradisjonelle tiltaka som utforming av teiner, grenser på tal teiner og fiskeperiodar. Så langt har innføring av fredingsområder for hummar på Sørlandet vist seg å vere svært positivt for bestandsutviklinga i områda. Ifølge Havforskingsinstituttet (Havforskningsrapporten 2014) har hummarbestanden i løpet av en fireårsperiode økt med 245 prosent, og gjennomsnittstørrelsen har økt med 13 prosent. Å opprette fredingsområder er eit av fleire verkemidlar som bidreg til ein meir berekraftig forvalting av hummar. I 2014 inviterte Fiskeridirektoratet landets kystkommunar med i ein prosess for å etablere nye fredingsområder for hummar.

  • Brev: Vedtak Om Grensejustering Mellom Kommunane Balestrand Og
    Statsråden Ifølgje liste Dykkar ref Vår ref Dato 17/1212-170 10.desember 2018 Vedtak om grensejustering mellom kommunane Balestrand og Høyanger Eg viser til brev av 11.04.2018 frå Fylkesmannen i Sogn og Fjordane med fylkesmannens utgreiing og tilråding i saka om grensejustering mellom kommuane Balestrand og Høyanger for området Nesse skulekrins. Bakgrunn Stortinget vedtok 8. juni 2017 samanslåing av kommunane Balestrand, Leikanger og Sogndal. Kommunane blir slått saman frå 1. januar 2020. Departementet gav 11.10.2017 fylkesmannen i oppdrag å utgreie grensejustering på bakgrunn av eit innbyggarinitiativ frå Nesse Grendelag i Balestrand kommune datert 20.05.2016. I søknaden frå Nesse Grendelag blei det vist til ei underskriftsliste frå september 2015, der 102 av om lag 120 innbyggarar skreiv under på at Nesse skulekrins burde bli ein del av Høyanger kommune. Nesse Grendelag viser i søknaden til utviklinga i skulekrinsen innanfor område som samferdsle, arbeids- og butilhøve, handel og kommunal tenesteyting, samt folketalsutvikling. Etter grendelaget si vurdering trekker utviklinga i retning av ei flytting av skulekrinsen til Høyanger. Nesse skulekrins har 116 innbyggarar, noko som er knapt ni prosent av innbyggarane i Balestrand. Det aktuelle området utgjer om lag 25 prosent av landarealet i Balestrand kommune. Postadresse: Postboks 8112 Dep 0032 Oslo Kontoradresse: Akersg. 59 Telefon* 22 24 90 90 Org no.: 972 417 858 I ei innbyggarhøyring gjennomført i desember 2017, er det eit klart fleirtal som er positive til å bli ein del av Høyanger kommune (98 prosent), og eit klart fleirtal er negative til å bli ein del av nye Sogndal kommune (92 prosent).

Prior to the War of 1812, an Indian runner was dispatched with a war belt of wampum with a request for the Dakotas and Chippewas to meet at the big bend of the Wisconsin River (Portage). While camped on the banks of the Lemonweir, the runner dreamed that he had lost his belt of wampum at his last sleeping place. On waking in the morning, he found his dream to be a reality and he hastened back to retrieve the belt. During the 1820's, the French-Canadian fur traders called the river, La memoire - the memory. The Lemonweir rises in the extensive swamps and marshes in Monroe County.

Tilrådinga er bygt på: Lokale prosessar og vedtak Målsetjinga med kommunereforma Kriteria for god kommunestruktur Føringar frå regjeringa og Stortinget Vi har tilrådd to samanslåingar frå 2020 der kommunane har gjort gjensidige vedtak: Førde, Naustdal, Gaular og Jølster Hornindal med Volda i Møre og Romsdal I tillegg har vi tilrådd to andre samanslåingar frå 2020 der kommunane ikkje har gjort gjensidige vedtak: Sogndal, Leikanger og Balestrand Vågsøy og Selje For dei andre kommunane i fylket er tilrådinga at kommunane held fram med drøftingar om samanslåingar, både på kort sikt med samanslåing frå 2020 eller eventuelt seinare i det som blir omtalt som andre fase i kommunereforma etter 2020. Med grunnlag i lokale prosessar med vedtak etter 01.10.2016 i kommunereforma, kjem Fylkesmannen med følgjande oppdatering av tilrådinga: Vi tilrår samanslåing av kommunane Selje og Eid frå 2020. Som alternativ held vi fast på tidlegare tilråding om samanslåing av Selje og Vågsøy. Vi held og fast på tilrådinga om samanslåing av kommunane Sogndal, Leikanger og Balestrand frå 2020.
