Introduction

Here are the maps for the 6 walks around Haugland if you click on the map you will be able to view it full size. You can also borrow a copy of each map and compass from the box outside RCNUWC Admin building. From this box you can also take a slip of paper to collect the "stamps" to be found in a post box on each path (the position of the box is marked on each map), If you collect each stamp you get a prize (students of RCNUWC only).
Each path is marked with little painted circles of wood hanging in trees, if you realise that you haven't seen one for 200m you have probably gone wrong, turn back, return to the last one and look again.
Don't go alone and be careful when on top of the cliff on the Klippen path.
Here is a map showing all the paths with a useful scale of difficulty.



The reason this website is based on a Blog is so that you can easily add comments about the walks. Please feel free to do this when you have completed one of the 6.

1. Jarstadheia

This is the longest of the walks climbing to the top of the mountain behind the college. It can be cold up there so make sure you take some spare clothes. Start by walking up to Bekker house, take the road to the left and after about 200m follow the gravel track up the hill marked by red dots. Great views of Dale from the top.

2 Klippen

This path follows the top of the big grey cliff behind the college, start at admin. and follow the orange markers straight up the bank on the other side of the road. Excellent view of the college from the top but don't go too near the edge.

3 Storåsen

Storåsen is the mountain to the left of Jarstadheia as viewed from the college. The start is the same as Jarstadheia but when you get to the flat part by a big stone continue forwards on the path marked by the blue dots.

4 Raudbua Amaryli

Raudbua is a little bay towards the mouth of Flekke fjord. To start, walk past Bekker house and continue to the end of the road, the green markers start when the road ends by a couple of old garages. The way back is a bit difficult to find but if you stand by the Lavvo you can see the first marker going into the woods.

5 Blåstien

Blåstien climbs to the top of the small hill in front of storåsen. Start as for Raudbua to the old garages then follow the blue markers to the right.

6 Kobbevågen

Kobbevågen means seal bay, if you are lucky you might see a seal there. Follow the road past Bekker house to the sharp bend, the path follows the yellow markers.
