A lady walks this path every day from her home to his working place at school up the hill. She has been walking the same path for years. I ask if she might know for how long the path has been here, but she doesn't know. She tells: "It's been here as long as I can remember. I remember walking it since I was 18 years old and now I'm... well, it's been here for very long."
I myself walked this path almost every day during my stay in Bergen. It was my way to USF from home and visa versa, and it was pretty obvious route; I would have had to take a very long way if I would have used the official streets. It seems that this path is quite popular, because I saw quite many people using it.
The gentleman, careful guess: around 80 years, is changing a path on his yard into a road. The paths goes on the hill and the man tells that his legs are not strong enough to go up and down the hill all the time, when he goes home and leaves home. He wants to drive his car all the way to his house. He decided to start his road building project in the beginning of May 2004 and he is still continuing the work now; it is mid July 2004. Approximately little less than half of the road is ready.
The work is very hard, because there are big stones or rocks under the surface and he has to hammer them to pieces or carry them away. He tells that the way he builds the road is that he first puts the biggest stones deepest underground and then places rubble on the top. This is the way all the roads are build in Norway.
There is a new community build road also close to the one he is building. This was build last year and his own road can be connected to the new road.
