Hike to Ytre Fure at Stadlandet

July 26, 2020
Ytre Fure at Stadlandet, Norway
Hike to Ytre Fure at Stadlandet, Norway. 2020.
Ytre Fure (Outer Fure) at Stadlandet, Norway.

The hike from Indre Fure (Inne Fure) to Ytre Fure (Outer Fure) is a rare reminder of how previous generations made a living. The walk starts at Indre Fure, and they received the electricity in 1961 and the road in 1966. Ytre Fure was roadless and with no electricity, and the last people left the farms in 1960 at Ytre Fure.

THE LIFE AT INDRE & YTRE FURE

Usually, the people at Ytre Fure would use the boat to get to Indre Fure and Drage, but when the weather was stormy, the ocean was not an option. Then the only way to get closer to civilization was by walking along with the clips of Fure. The children at Fure was often with anxiety to fall down the clips and kill themselves. The brutal reality of living at the coast of Norway’s most furious ocean Stad.

Living by the Ocean in Norway, makes you feel tiny sometimes and put the life into perspective, it truly humbles you. The Stad Ocean has taken many lives. On the few kilometers from the herring map in the south to Ervik in the north, a total of 58 shipwrecks are located. SS Sanct Svithun is one of the ships. In Ervik, you will find the memorable chapel to SS Sanct Svithun.

INDRE FURE – INNER FURE

Today six people live in the courtyard of Indre Fure. They are making sure that there is an overwhelming flower bloom from early spring to late autumn. The rose garden will make you wonder if you are in Southern Norway.

COASTAL WALK TO YTRE FURE

The walk starts from Indre Fure, one of the few inhabited cluster farms that are left in Norway. Then you continue along the coastline to Ytre Fure. The trail is relatively easy to follow. The walk has rocky seashore and brings you close to the forces of nature, and you are settled with tremendous respect for the people who lived and worked in this raw power of nature.

The walk is around four kilometers one way, and it has some steep parts, and you need to be in shape to perform the hike. The path runs along the beach with steep mountains on one side and sea on the other side.

DURATION OF THE HIKE: 1 HOUR

It is one hour to walk when having a decent skill of walking in nature. The return is slightly easier, but the estimated time will be 2,5 hours, including a small break at Ytre Fure.

FAMOUS SITES TO SEE ALONG THE PATH TO YTRE FURE

The view is marvelous, on the trip you will see Selja Island, and maybe even the monastery of Selja. The famous Hornelen which is Europe’s highest sea cliff! And Kråkenes Lighthouse that has several wind records in Norway.

THE TWO FARMS AT YTRE FURE

After walking for one hour, you will reach the two farms on Outre Fure – Ytre Fure, located scenically by the open ocean. The farms were abandoned in the 60th century but are well held, and popular during the summer. In August they often try to cut the grass to keep the trails open for people walking. The area is one of the most protected landscapes in Norway.

The struggles to the people are quickly forgotten when the sun kisses your skin, you can begin to wonder why they ever left, but if you knew the storms and the power of the waves you would understand them better.

STAD NATURE GUIDING

Stad Nature Guiding offers guided tours to Ytre Fure, and Grethe will tell you the story of the farms and the people that lived in this little pearl right by the furious Stad Ocean.

HIKING SHOES

You will need good hiking shoes. Do bring a jacket for wind & rain, because if the weather change, you need to be prepared. It due often change quickly. I don’t recommend doing the hike in bad weather, due to heavy conditions with the ocean, wind and slippery stones on the trail. It is steep to fall in some areas. When bringing children along, make sure they understand the danger and that they walk nicely and do not run.

TICKS ALARM

NB! Please note that there are MANY ticks in the area in the summertime. Check yourself during the trip and after the hike!

Don’t bring your dog, or only if you want to sacrifice him for the bloodsucking vampires. (We removed 100 ticks on our dog, this was the last time our dog is walking to Ytre Fure.)
