Description
THE VIEW IS WORTH EVERY STEP!
On the verdant banks of Borgund Fjord the sun warms as we gear-up for an adventure that takes us up some 314 m up into the sky.
Borgund Fjord’s infinite sky opens exposing Sula Mountain and the Sunnmøre Alps. We glide across this famous fjord to the secret archipelago at the eastern end of Hessa fjord, from here a 109-year-old landmark, Slinningsbua, is our bearing as we slip across.
Gazing Westward out to the infinite waters of the North Atlantic gliding down Hessa Fjord past ancient farmland delightfully mixed with ultra-modern homes to the trailhead of Sugar Summit.
Upon landing at the trailhead take-out, a rejuvenating picnic lunch energizes us before setting out for the summit. The trail is well trodden as we make our way diligently upwards to the summit where we enjoy the 360o view of Western Norway and it’s Art Nouveau city from 314 m above the sea.
The hike down seems shorter, as we return to our waiting kayaks. With the sun on our backs, we glide silently towards the city that looked so small from up over 300 m in the sky.
