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 badge.

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 windy and cold up there so make sure you take some spare clothes. Start by walking up to Bekker house,  go to the left on the road for 200m and take the steep gravel path to the right marked by red. When you reach the mountain saddle (the first view to Dale) you can climb  up the hill on the left - or continue to the right towards the top. The UWC check point is on the hill before the "official" top. From there top you can return the same way - or continue same direction taking the path towards Rakneberg. You will end up on the road towards Dale. Fom there you  walk about 25min to reach Flekke shop and 20 to come to the College.

2 Klippen

This path follows the top edge of the big grey & white "flekked" cliff behind the college and at the end joins the lowest part of Jarstadheia path. Start at Admin, go straight up the bank on the other side of the road until you reach the "Upper road" where you will see an orange arrow at the start of the path. Excellent view of the college from the top but don't go near the edge.

3 Storåsen

Storåsen is the hill 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 forward keeping to the left and following the purple tags. After the Check point you can add a loop by continuing for 200  to get to a flat area with trees with a nice view towards Dalsfjorden
.

4 Raudbua Amaryili

Raudbua is a nice bay with a wooden "lavo" at a half of Flekke fjord. To start, walk past Bekker house and continue to the end of the road. The red markers start where the road ends, behind a wooden shed. After about 5-10 min walk the path forks. The left one goes straight to lavo.  To reach the UWC check point, follow the red tags to the right (hop over the stream).

5 Blåstien

Blåstien climbs to the top of  a hill in front of Storåsen. Start as for Raudbua; at the end of the road by the wooden sheds  you will see a blue arrow to the right. The path forks in two by the lonely old barn; the left-lower path is slightly longer but nicer.

6 Kobbevågen

Kobbevågen means seal bay, if you are lucky you might see a seal nearby. Follow the road past Bekker house to the sharp bend where you will see a yellow arrow - follow the markers to the Check point (Pollenes). You can choose 3 ways to return: either same or one path goes to the left following the lagoon and then over a soggy flat area with some trees it joins the Raudbua path. The path to the right is newest and it follows the fjord's shore line and ends just before Chris's house (no yellow tags).
