Of Hiking Trails

Mar 12, 2015 13:06 CET Norway’s new ‘kinder egg’ of hiking trails Norway’s new ‘kinder egg’ of hiking trails From 1 July it is easier than ever to combine three of Norway’s most iconic hikes. Between July and August, there will be a daily express bus route between the Pulpit Rock, Kjerag and the Troll’s Tongue. Branded ‘The Kinder Egg’, the three hikes include challenging uphill walks and spectacular views in the fjord region. After popular demand, there is finally an easy option for those wishing to combine the three hikes. The new daily bus service in both directions takes about four hours, and means the hikes can all be done within the scope of three days. Connecting three iconic trails The Pulpit Rock is one of the most photographed places in Norway, and a popular day trip for locals and tourists alike. Located in the Lysefjord, just outside Stavanger, the hike up takes around two hours with a quite rapid ascent. In 2014, 250 000 visited the Pulpit Rock, making it one of the top attractions in Norway. Nearby mountain Kjerag is located further into the Lysefjord, and a much welcomed alternative for those thinking the Pulpit Rock is too crowded. While many come here for the famous Kjeragbolten, a small stone located between two rocks overlooking the fjord, it is also very popular among base jumpers and climbers. The Troll’s Tongue is located in Odda, a few hours north. The hike up to the famed ‘tongue’ is for the more experienced hiker, and takes a good 10 hours. The view from the top is unforgettable, and is ranked as one of the best places in the world to ‘get a yes’ by Lonely Planet, in their Best in Travel 2015. Notes to editor:Tide Buss runs the Troll’s Tongue – Pulpit Rock Express (Trolltunga - Preikestolen express)daily in both directions from 1 July to 31 August. For more information: www.tidereiser.com The drive takes around four hours, and travellers are recommended to allow at least three days for the whole trip. Price for the journey: 595 NOK/ca £49 How to get here: Fly into Stavanger, and fly out from Bergen. Norwegian Air flies directly from London Gatwick to Stavanger and Bergen, from £44.90 one way.

Helpful Information for Your Kjerag Trip 2016
Helpful Information For Your Kjerag Trip 2016 Check out the Ferry Boat times to co-ordinate them with your flight times. In general arriving at the Stavanger Sola Airport (SVG) in the morning hours on a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday work best for scheduling so that you can leave the airport quickly and catch the *12:30 Fast Ferry ( *new summer time schedule from dates in June sometime ). If your coming for the Heliboogie Monday June 20th would be your best choice for early morning arrival into Stavanger. Do not purchase expensive airline tickets that get you into Stavanger later and then missing the ferry boats into the fjord and having to stay overnight in a hotel just to catch the Lauvvik slow ferry or Lysefjord Tourist Bus in the next day. There is a city map of Stavanger web link as well as other helpful links below.

I Fantasised About Killing My Mother When I Was Twelve. I Would Push Her Down Onto the Tracks As the Train Pulled Into the Station in Stavanger
1 I fantasised about killing my mother when I was twelve. I would push her down onto the tracks as the train pulled into the station in Stavanger. Just a little shove. She would fall down, end up under the wheels, and then I would finally get away. Thirty years later, I’m sat at her funeral wondering what my life would have been like had I actually pushed her. If I’d had siblings, or if mother had had a boyfriend when she died, I wouldn’t even have been here. So many boyfriends over the last few years, yet she couldn’t have one right when I needed it most. I spot my father and his wife five rows behind me. They don’t have to be here, but it’s nice that they came. I’m not without feelings – I do appreciate it. I wonder how she managed to get him to come. I’m not going to talk to him. I’m an adult. I’ve exchanged one family for another. My own. The chapel is bright, the sun is shining in through large panes of glass in the walls. Outside, the oak trees are calm in the late afternoon. Not one gust of wind for many days, not a drop of rain. The soil back home is bone dry. I have to remember to water the garden, maybe put some fertiliser around the redcurrant bushes. And if the dry weather continues, I have to paint the two walls I didn’t manage last year, preferably before Constitution Day, because when May is over the air will get more humid, the woodwork never completely dry.

Preikestolen 604 M Lysebotn Kjeragbolten
Samstag, 14. Mai 2016 Der Lysefjord ist ein Fjord Lysebotn östlich von Stavanger in der Provinz Rogaland im Süden von Norwegen. Preikestolen 604 m Die Länge des Kjeragbolten Lysefjords beträgt etwa 40 Kilometer, er ist an der tiefsten Stelle bis zu 500 Meter tief. Seinen Namen, „heller Fjord“, verdankt er Karte: Google Map den blankgescheuerten, felsigen Wänden. Es ist ist ein sehr steiler Fjord. 604 m über dem Fjord liegt die Felsplattform Preikestolen oder zu deutsch "Predigerstuhl". Sie ist auf einem Wander- "weg" oder besser Steintreppe à la Bachbett in einem Aufstieg von etwa 2 h erreichbar und fällt dann senkrecht die 600 m in den Fjord ab. Ganz Mutige setzen sich an den Rand des Plateau, picknicken und lassen die Beine über den Abgrund baumeln. Unser Abenteuer «Preikestolen» ist in «Reise 2014 Bericht Nr 10 Seite ab Seite 6» beschrieben. Bild: Ferien 2014 Etwa 5 Kilometer vor Ende des Lysefjords in Ryfylke steht die höchste Felswand, die Kjerag. Die Felswand hat eine Höhe von 1.084 Metern. Hier ist auch der Kjeragkeil zu sehen, ein großer Stein, der zwischen zwei Felswänden eingeklemmt ist und für mutige Zeitgenossen auch begehbar ist. Die Felswand ist ein guter Startpunkt für das Base-Jumping. Bild: Wikipdia Schon bei der Einfahrt in den Fjord zeigt sich die Steilheit und Wildheit des Fjord. In Lysbotn werden die Gäste für eine Inland – Tour nach Stavanger ausgela – den wir geniessen die Rückfahrt durch den Fjord. und ich habe, trotz schwieriger Sicht, den Kjeragkeil von unten gefunden. gespannt bin ich auch, den Preikestolen vom Fjord her zu sehen und siehe da, auch er war mir gut gesinnt und hat sich von seiner besten Seite gezeigt.

Norway - Fjords and Mountains a Once in a Lifetime Destination That Will Take You to Mountains, Glaciers, Deep Coastal Fjords and the Land of the Vikings and Trolls
Norway - Fjords and Mountains A once in a lifetime destination that will take you to mountains, glaciers, deep coastal fjords and the land of the Vikings and trolls... Trip Length: 21 days / 20 nights July - August 2023 Minimum 8 guests / Maximum 12 guests *8-9 guests NOK 70559 ($ 11300) 10-11 guests NOK 63500 ($ 10200) 12 guests NOK 58500 ($ 9400) *(AUD prices quoted based on exchange rate 2020. 2023 prices to be confirmed) Included meals marked each day. B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner Norwegians can’t get enough of nature and we’ve discovered why! Norway’s scenic landscapes are best discovered by following a path on foot. Late summer is the best time to experience a sunlit landscape that has forced the snow to retreat to the mountains and has woken the flowers to their full bloom. Long days, mild temperatures and the fabled midnight sun promise ideal walking conditions, and we will be surrounded with those vibrant natural colours of the changing landscape. We’ll discover untamed, mythical landscapes as we trapse the classic (and sometimes challenging) hiking trails of Preikestolen, Galdhøpiggen, and Besseggen Ridge. You’ll never forget your first approach aboard the Hurtigruten Ferry, to the unsurpassed beauty of the Lofoten Islands. Tall, craggy spires dominate the skyline and beckon walkers to their valleys and summits. We stay in hotels and mountain refuges, so there’s no camping on this trip. Norway - it’s a love affair with nature! Day 1: Monday Arrive Stavanger Airport (Sola) Arrive in Stavanger and make your way to our hotel in downtown Stavanger.

Utgreiing Og Tilråding - Søknad Frå Innbyggarar I Forsand Kommune Om Justering Av Kommunegrensa Mellom Forsand Og Strand
Dykkar ref.: 17/1212-67 Vår dato: 29.06.2018 Vår ref.: 2017/3580 Arkivnr.: 311 Postadresse: Postboks 59 Sentrum, Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet 4001 Stavanger Postboks 8112 Dep. Besøksadresse: 0032 Oslo Lagårdsveien 44, Stavanger T: 51 56 87 00 F: 51 52 03 00 E: [email protected] www.fylkesmannen.no/rogaland Utgreiing og tilråding - søknad frå innbyggarar i Forsand kommune om justering av kommunegrensa mellom Forsand og Strand Fylkesmannen tilrår at grensejustering i samsvar med innbyggarinitiativet ikkje blir gjennomført. Fylkesmannen finn heller ikkje grunn til å tilrå grensejustering for ein mindre del av det aktuelle området. Fylkesmannen viser til departementet sitt brev av 10.10.2017 som bl.a. har slik ordlyd: "Forsand og Strand kommuner Fylkesmannen oversendte et innbyggerinitiativ om grensejustering mellom Forsand og Strand kommuner. Fylkesmannen skriver at endringen er omfattende, og at det er grunn til å tro at kommunene ikke er enig i forslaget. Fylkesmannen ber departementet avgjøre om saken skal utredes. Departementet ber med dette fylkesmannen om så raskt som mulig å utrede konsekvensene av en grensejustering mellom Forsand og Strand kommuner som omfatter områdene omtalt i innbyggerinitiativet. Fylkesmannen kan i tillegg utrede større eller mindre grensejusteringer i det omtalte området. Fylkesmannens tilrådning skal fremgå av oversendelsen til departementet. Det må legges til rette for at Forsand og Strand kommuner skal få uttale seg før saken oversendes departementet for endelig avgjørelse. Kommunestyrene bør innhente innbyggernes synspunkter på saken. Forsand skal slå seg sammen med Sandnes kommune fra 1. januar 2020. Departementet ser det som hensiktsmessig at en eventuell grensejustering gjennomføres på samme tidspunkt som sammenslåingen.
