A nice flat in Haugesund and a charming cottage in the mountains of Norway
Our flat has two sleeping rooms with two sleeping places in each. It has a size of about 85m2. We live in the first floor with a little garden and a balcony including a public playing yard in front of. It is very quiet and no traffic passing nearby. Never the less it is only a five minutes walk to the city center.
The airport can be reached within half an hour by bus or car. We have two cars, One of it is an electrical car which can be used for short distance travel. It is not possible to drive with it all the way to our cottage in the mountains which is about 200km from our home. But it is suitable for short trips within 120km distance like driving to Bergen, Stavanger or to nearby mountains and lakes.
The cottage is located in the heart of the mountains Hardangervidda in Telemark. It has two rooms and 4-6 beds. It is a fabulous place to go on hiking, fishing and skiing. In fall one can find lots of blueberries, cranberries and cloudberries as well as different mushrooms (boletus, cantarell!). It is very charming with no electricity and an outdoor toilet. You can get the drinking water out of a little river next to the cottage. The hut is 50 meters from a small road with hardly any traffic. The next bus stop and some shops are 7km away. So it is good to have a car out there. It takes about 3.5 hours drive from Haugesund.
There are a lot of nice places to visit nearby Haugesund. All places are easily to reach with public transports as well. Read on internet about the places we can recommend:
