Map showing the tunell and bridge project "Trekantsambandet"
Today, when arriving Haugalandet from north
(Bergen / Stord / Bømlo), we use car ( or bus ) and ferries.
Next year, things will be very different. A new sub sea tunnel and new
bridges are under construction, removing the "obstacle" called ferries
between haugalandet and Stord / Bømlo.
OK! When the new tunnel comes, we
won't have to wait for max 1 hour for the next ferry. But I am sure many
of us will miss the scenery when leaving or arriving Valevåg, crossing
on top of the Bømlafjord. When doing so, we can enjoy the view of
Tittelsnes, the Kvinnherad mountains, Stord, Bømlo, the sound Langenuen
- and the smell of sea and nature.
But - when the tunnel comes, or even this
summer, if you need some fine scenery when arriving Haugalandet - why not
stop in Førde, just 10 min drive from Valevåg, take right
after the church. It's a beauty (pictures below).
On the way from
Haugesund to Valevåg, this is what we see of Førde
25 min north of Haugesund,
