  • Spasertur Gjennom Hyllestadgarden - Kulturlandskap Som Har Endra Karakter
    Spasertur gjennom Hyllestadgarden - kulturlandskap som har endra karakter 1865 2 «Midtstaden» Då Hyllestad i 1861 vart utskild som eigen kommune blei Hyllestadgarden «kommunesenter». Hyllestad låg midt i den nye kommunen og vart vald til administrasjonsstad for di det ikkje eksisterte større sentrum verken langs Bøfjorden, Åfjorden eller Skifjorden. Hyllestad var då som no eit balansepunktet mellom Sørbøvåg og Leirvik. I jubileumsboka «Hyllestad kommunen og folket» skriv Johs B. Thue dette om Hyllestad-garden …..: «Vi ruslar opp i det gamle Hyllestadtunet. Februardagen pustar klar og kald mot oss i austaver. Garden, tunet og kyrkjestaden breier seg vakkert ut her, med gravplass som er inngjerda av ein steinmur, der steinkrossar enno stikk opp i tre hjørne som tause vitne om eit eldgamalt handverk, knytt til kvernstein- og krosshogginga. Eit nytt prestegjeld og formannskapsdistrikt vart namnsett etter Hyllestadgarden i 1861, den kongelege resolusjonen om nyhendet kom den 6. mars og skulle settast ut i livet frå 1. juli, som altså er skipingsdagen for Hyllestad kommune. Her i tunet og i hallet ned mot Åfjordbotnen, Hyllestadvikja, blei det nye kommunesenteret etablert. Alle kommunestyre- møter fann stad her i tiår etter tiår. Nett her budde etter kvart lensmannen og postopnaren. Doktorkontoret grodde opp, sameleis telefonstasjon. Den offentlige infrastrukturen fann samlings- staden sin i dette tunet. Dampskipsekspedisjonen med brygge, solide jernpollertar og jarnringar for landfeste, fekk staden sin ved sjøkanten. Der var det også almenning for alle robåtar som kom hit med folk som skulle ordne offentlege saker eller delta i ulike møte». 3 Hyllestadgarden Kyrkjestad frå middelalderen til 1880, flytta til Myklebust Møtestad for kommunestyret 1861 til 1946, flytta til Myklebust Lensmann 1873 til 1937, flytta til Myklebust Tingstad/tingstove frå 1884, i dag bustadhus Postopneri 1873 til 1973.

    FOSSIL ICE WEDGESAND GROUND WEDGES IN SEDIMENTS BELOW TILLAT VOSS, WESTERN NORWAY JAN MANGERUD & SVEIN ARNE SKREDEN Mangerud, J. & Skreden, S. A.: Fossil ice wedges and ground wedges in sediments below till at Voss, western Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 52, pp. 73-96. Oslo 1972. In a 3 to 4 m high section, the following four distinct sediment units exist: At the base a well-sorted sand of uncertain origin; above this a bed of till (believed to be lodgement till); above this bedded sand, silt and clay, presum­ ably deposited in an ice-dammed lake; and on top, a younger lodgement till. All the sediments below the upper till are cut through by two different types of wedge-like structures. The wedges of the first type are filled with unsorted sediments and are interpreted as fossil ice wedges. The second type consists of vertically laminated clay and silt, presumably a kind of ground wedge. The sediments and the wedge structures are believed to be of either Allerod/ Younger Dryas age, or from older Weichselian interstadials. J. Mangerud, Geologisk institutt, avd. B, Universitetet i Bergen, 5014 Bergen­ Universitetet, Norway. S. A. Skreden, Geologisk institutt, avd. B, Universitetet i Bergen, 5014 Bergen­ Universitetet, Norway. Introduction Voss is situated in a broad and deep west Norwegian valley. The valley floor is 45-75 m a.s.l., while the surrounding mountains rise to between 1300 and 1400 m a.s.l. (Figs. l and 2). Bedrock is exposed in most of the mountain area, while considerable deposits of till and glacio-fluvial sediments occur in the valleys.

    Port Handbook Chapter A - The Baltic Chapter B - United Kingdom & Ireland Chapter C - Atlantic Europe Chapter D - Iceland, Norway & Faroes Chapter E - Associated Members Copyright 2021 Cruise Europe Word of the chairman Matching cruise industry growth and cruise port capacities Cruise Europe and its more than 100 member ports between Gibraltar in the South, Kirkenes in the North and Lulea in the Baltic still has the potential for growth. Only 75% of the potential cruise ports along the Atlantic coast are members; also one has to include the potential of the cruise ports in Greenland and the area east of the North Cape. The tourist organisations of the ports, the regions, the countries can help as members to make Cruise Europe stronger in marketing the destination Northern Europe to the cruise lines. The aim for Cruise Europe is to match the ongoing growth of the cruise industry in offering better infrastructure in the member ports, which means more cruise terminals, or to point out the diversity of the many destinations and attractions in Northern Europe. Cruise Europe has to open a dialogue with the cruise lines with the intention to spread the growing number of cruise ships and the even bigger cruise passenger capacities over more ports, over more cruise areas, over more countries. The success of the Baltic is also possible in the areas of West Europe, of UK & Ireland and of Norway and Iceland. Cruise lines have to be convinced that all four cruise areas in Northern Europe have equal attractions and many Captain Michael McCarthy good ports to host the growing cruise fleet.
