Bergsdalen September 2008

These photos have been taken pretty close to where we live in Bergen. A two hour drive and an hour hike takes you to a beautiful cabin with a tranquil lake beside. If you go during the week it is very unlikely to meet other hikers which makes it the perfect place to chill. There are several lakes and dams in the area, all of which contain delicious, fresh mountain trout which are best grilled with Aromat, pepper and butter :) Fishing for trout is another one of my new hobbies which help keep the voices away...

Yes, I know... not exactly monster fish up here...

Even Shasa got into the swing of things and attempted his own primitive methods of fishing...

Good thing we had packed food for him in our packs :)

He he he...









...And the water buffalo look-alike competition winner for 2008 is .....

Start of the walk. In the distance you see Hamlagrøvannet which is a really large lake at about 800m above sea level if I remember correctly.

If you open the picture to full size by clicking on it, you can see the cabin next to Anja where we spent three memorable evenings.

I only caught three trout in that particlar lake and all were too small to eat.

This lake yielded about 30 trout of which all but two were returned safely.

The little critter in the picture was obviously too small to eat and was returned unharmed, albeit with a sore lip, back to home.
