SUMMER 2020
Hardanger
9 girls on an adeventure.
Beautiful days in the western fjords!
Short distance to drive and easily accessible charging stations.
The trip
We manage to get to
charging stations before running out of fuel or more correct electrons.
No problem, it turned out. We made sure not to
drive too long distances to make sure we did not have any problems with
charging along the way. Here you can see some
of the routes we drove:

ev CHARGING
Monday morning, 15th of June. 20 degrees Celsius, we gathered 9 girls to enjoy a trip to places we would like to explore.
With two charging stops, we safely arrived at Kinsarvik. The stops, charging the car, we spent time eating breakfast before driving on. Nice and calmly, no hurry.
On top of the fjord
The queen`s trail
Immediately, when we arrived at Kinsarvik, we made ready our backpack and started to walk The Queen`s Trail.
We really understand why she wants to walk the path once a year. Just look at the pictures.
Look at panoramic view
THE QUEEN`S TRAIL
The Queen`s Trail or “hm queen sonja’s panoramic trail” goes up to 1100 meter altitude in the mountains between Kinsarvik and Loftshus.
With a view inwards The Sørfjorden and Folgefonna Glacier you have the possibility to walk the famous “Munketrappene”. At the same time you are passing thousands of fruit trees.
A magnificent combination of fjord and Mountain.

BONDHUSVANNET
The day after we decided to departure from Kinsarvik driving in 1.5 hour.
We were passing Odda, on the road to Sunndal. There we once more bag packed to a place called Bondhusvatnet.
We didn’t regret this.
Vi gikk til endes i Bondhusdalen, og kom da til denne nydelige fossen. Her kunne vi også henge opp hengekøyene, og tok oss en liten lunsjpause.
