Bondhusvatnet

RHH has posted:

This is Bondhusvatnet, an alpine lake near Odda, Norway. We hiked to the lake, short and easy hike before going back to Odda for groceries and then on to a hostel in Troilltunga where we would stay for two nights. We had traveled from Bergen and would be hiking in the mountains near Trolltunga. The hike, though easy, was very busy as were most of the places we visited in Norway.

Steindalsfossen

RHH has posted:

Steindalsfossen is referred to as the "most popular waterfall in Norway." If this is true it is the true for two reasons, it is along Route 7, an important road, and it has a walkway that leads behind the falls and on to a viewing platform. We were on our way from Bergen to Trolltunga when we stopped to do the walk, take photos and have a coffee.

Fantoft Stave Church

RHH has posted:

Originally built in 1150 A.D. this stave church was located then near Sogn, Norway. It was moved to to its present location in 1883 when threatened with destruction after a new church was built in Sohn. In 1992 the Fantoft Church was destroyed by arson, part of series of church burnings by members of the Norwegian black metal movement. The man who burned this church was convicted of four other church burnings in the Bergen area. The church was completely rebuilt soon thereafter taking six years to complete. We visited the church as we left Bergen to go to Trolltunga.

I had one exactly like it from 1997 to 2006. It wasn't the turbo version, but the GLE Injection.

Belem in Bergen

RHH has posted:

This is the French training ship, Belem. We had seen the ship anchored in Eidfjord on August 9 and now, having reached Bergen we saw the ship a second time, docked on Bergen waterfront. We had driven from Eidfjord to Bergen the day before and had walked from our accommodations to the harbor the evening we arrived when we saw this ship.

Bordalsgjelet

nobody@ipernity.com (RHH) — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 13:16:07 +0000

RHH has posted:

Traveling from Eidfjord to Bergen we made a number of stops, this at Bordalsgjelet, a narrow gorge through which the river Bordalselvi flows before emptying into Vangsvatnet (Vangswater). The gorge is near the town of Voss and there is accessible from the town via a short walk. There is also a small car park near the gorge from which the various viewpoints can be accessed. The main attraction is a narrow walkway built into the side of the gorge. We visited the walkway and the other viewpoints though it was raining while we were there.

Skjervsfossen

RHH has posted:

After two nights and day near Voringsfossen we made our way to Bergen. The drive along Eidfjord and on to Bergen was beautiful and we made several stops and detours along the way, this waterfall on one of the detours. The waterfall is named Skjervsfossen. It was raining at the falls and the spray from the falls was blowing our way so we were quite wet when we returned to the car.

Kjeason

nobody@ipernity.com (RHH) — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 13:18:43 +0000

RHH has posted:

After exploring the area of Voringsfossen and hiking the gorge we went to the town of Eidfjord and from there up into the mountains above the fjord where we did a short hike to a couple of mountain farms at a place called Kjeason. This was the view from the farms with the road we took visible on the far side of the fjord.
To get to Kjeason we went through the first of many tunnels (in Norway they go through the mountains rather than around them) and had an interesting experience. Almost through the tunnel we discovered that it was one-way and timed. We met a car coming the other way and just managed to squeeze by.
We had failed to understand the sign at the entrance to the tunnel which listed the times the tunnel was open each way. Our failure to understand was not a surprise since we did not know Norwegian, but it was a bit embarrassing nonetheless. We would go through many more tunnels but this was the only one-way tunnel.

Voringsfossen

nobody@ipernity.com (RHH) — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 13:48:39 +0000

RHH has posted:

We first saw Voringsfossen from above (tourists lined up at one of the viewpoints are visible at the very top of the photo). After visiting the different viewpoints we drove further down the road, found the trailhead and hiked through the gorge to the bottom of the falls. There was almost no one on this trail which was quite difficult in places and the views were even better than from above. Voringsfossen is on the Bjoreio River and falls 163 meters into the Mabodalen Valley east of Bergen. The waterfall is a popular tourist destination
