Historic Fjord View Trail
Experience the Cultural Heritage of a fjord landscape inaccessible by road
The tour starts at Teigland with a short boat journey to the sunny side of the Åkrafjord, to an old farm at Kvandal. From here walkers meander their way along an old school trail which passes small settlements and provides spectacular views of Åkrafjord. As you walk, your guide will tell you about the unique fl ora and fauna of the region, and the local history. We visit a bridge built for vehicular traffi c in 1962 before funding dried up leaving it to stand as a lonely symbol of a dream about a road on this side of the fjord. There is plenty of time for conversation, great food and friendship along the way.
Small backpacks with lunch are provided. Lunch consists of tasty locally produced cured meats, fruit and water. The terrain is varied and some times steep, intended for those whose physical contition is average. 2-3 hours walking.
Duration: approximately 4 hours.
Prices NOK 475, all inclusive.
Saturdays - July and August 2008.
