Passing along this road sign keeps reminding me at my Singaporean days, where we got guided by the slogan “Be Considerate!“ at the time they refused to close a walk-bike-lane for bikers during a running event, for example. It worked, although I ended up among the runners crowd for a short while standing next to my bike until it was over and I could cycle on. Everyone was safe & happy.

Well, today I was on a special mission – checking out Hopen Leading Light, a navigational sign, where boating meets biking. I spotted this tiny building some time back and wondered since then what it is about until the penny dropped.

Øvre Hopen
Nedre Hopen
Renne/Hopen Fjord

Once I found the entry point into the track it was not long and I had to park the bike in order to proceed the muddy track up the hill towards Øvre Hopen. Together with Nedre Hopen they both create a leading straight line into the Hopen Fjord as a navigational help for ships in and out.

The valley is called Trolldalen and the track leads up to the lake Trolldalsvatnet, which remains on the list. Next time I get the water tight boots on to explore the lake further.

There is never nothing to discover.

Fair winds…
