Follow the sign posts to Glesvær and exit toward Golta. Continue about 1 km, to a red house on the left-hand side. 100 meters further you’ll find a place to park on the left.

On foot: Follow the North Sea Trail to Telavåg. About 10-15 minute walk beyond the red boat house, the path will drop quite steeply, and at the bottom of the hill you’ll see the wall on the left. The path goes through some wet terrain.

Bus: Take the bus from platform 9 at Bergen bus station or Olav Kyrresgate, towards Glesvær. Alight at Golta.

Description
The climbing area at Glesnes is situated on the southern tip of Sotra. The area has excellent climbing routes, but the climbing experience is quite different from Sotra’s other climbing walls. The wall is very steep, with 20 to 30 degree overhangs. The quality of the rock is lower than other walls on Sotra, but in return the wall offers exciting hòlklatring. NB After rainfall the wall needs at least one day to dry out!

North Sea Traffic Museum, Telavåg - War Museum

The Gestapo’s revenge. On 30 April 1942, the tiny coastal community of Telavåg was deleted from the map when the Germans discovered the role the village people played in the illicit trafficking of men across the North Sea. This, coupled with the killing of a Norwegian agent and two German officers, triggered the Telavåg tragedy, one of Europe’s worst war catastrophes.
