27. august 2020 Klare til start på årets sykkeltur. Heldigvis hadde vi ikke så mye bagasje i år, side vi hadde bestilt hotellrom for alle tre nettene vi skulle være borte. |

Første etappe gikk fra Slemmestad via Bøveien til
Heggedal, videre forbi Dikemark, Liertoppen til Sylling.
I Sylling tok vi en lang rast.
Vi sykla bortom kirken før vi kjørte videre mot Vikersund.

Sylling, med utsikt over Holsfjorden, en arm av Tyrifjorden
Fin rasteplass i Sylling.
Sylling is located on Holsfjorden, the southeastern arm of Tyrifjorden.
Sylling is known for agriculture, particularly the cultivation of fruit. Local farms
have a long history of cultivation of strawberries and vegetables. The good soil is
due to gravel after the Last glacial period including Sylling-moraine. Its
population is about 1700. (5. september 2020)

On
the 9th April 1940 in the afternoon a British Short Sunderland flying boat on a reconnaissance mission was shot down over Sylling by two German fighters. This happened just hours after Germany had invaded Norway. Of the crew of 10, 9 were killed. Radio operator and gunner Ogwyn |
The 9 became the first Brits to miss their lives in the
battle of Norway in 1940.
They were later buried here at Sylling church together
with an aircraftsman from another downed British
aircraft.

Dagens kirke ble oppført på samme kirketomt og med noe gjenbruk av stein. Det antas dessuten at en runestein som var å finne i den gamle kirken, og som forsvant i 1851 under byggearbeidet, er blitt innlemmet i muren. Planer for kirken ble utarbeidet av Chr.H.

Tyrifjorden (Lake Tyri) is a lake in Norway. It lies 40 kilometres (25 mi)
northwest of Oslo and is the nation's fifth largest lake with an area of 139 km2.
It has a volume of 13 km3, is 295 meters deep at its deepest, and lies 63 meters above sea level. The lake's primary source is the Begna river, which discharges
into Tyrifjorden at Hønefoss where the river forms the waterfall of Hønefossen.
Its primary outlet is at Vikersund near the lake's southwest corner, where Tyrifjorden discharges into the Drammenselva river. (5. september 2020)

Første dag av turen hadde vi veldig fint vær.
Da vi sto opp på dag 2, lå tåka nedover åssidene.
Heldigvis letta den etterhvert, og det ble en ny fin dag.
Etappen på dag 2 var ikke så lang.
Vi skulle bare inn til Hønefoss.
Men først var vi innom Vikersund Hoppsenter.

In 1894, Vikersund SK was established and started with ski jumping.
Until the 1930s, they used six different ski jumping hills around the area.
By then, the club had fostered sufficiently good jumpers that it was proposed
to build a proper hill. A committee was established on 19 March 1935 and led
by Gustav N. Hovde. At first they found a suitable location north of Heggen.
However, they failed to reach an agreement with the land owner. Instead,
Hovde proposed using the steep hill close to Heggen Church. After purchasing
the land, construction started later in 1935. The original hill was designed by Thunold Hansen. Construction cost 6,290 Norwegian krone (NOK), of which NOK 1000 was borrowed and the rest of financed through private donations.
The first hill had a length from the top of the in-run to the bottom of the out-run
of 425 meters (1,394 ft) and an elevation difference of 130 meters (430 ft).
The in-run was 115 meters (377 ft) long and had an elevation difference of 46 meters (151 ft). The hill was inaugurated on 29 January 1936 with a 50-meter
jump by Birger Henriksen. The longest jump on the opening day was made by
Reidar Andersen, who jumped 86 meters.
The main logistical issue with the events was the poor transport service, with
only a narrow road to the hill. During the 1950s, the attendance rose well
beyond the former 5,000, forcing the road to be upgraded in 1955. By the
1950s, ski jumps were being built larger and in 1954, Kristian Hovde proposed
to expand Vikersundbakken, which he hoped would allow jumps of 100 meters (330 ft).
The hill was rebuilt for the 2012 Ski Flying World Championships. It was the first
in the world with a hill size of 225 meters, making Vikersundbakken the largest ski flying hill in the world at the time. It has been built further into the terrain with sidewalls made of natural gravel to avoid wind problems during competitions. Furthermore, it has been slanted slightly to the south from the inrun area to
further reduce wind problems. The hill was ready for the 2011 Trial Ski Flying
World Championships held on 11–13 February 2011.
The old inrun was demolished in 2010. The engineers of the new and larger hill were

capital of Modum, in the county of Buskerud, Norway.
Historically, Vikersund been important in the pulp and paper industry.
Timber was floated on Tyrifjord past Vikerfossen down the Drammenselva.
Modum municipality has many cultural and sports facilities. In Vikersund this includes the Vikersund Ski-Jumping Center with seven ski slopes, golf courses
and ski hill. Vikersund is perhaps best known for it ski flying hill,
Vikersundbakken. It was first used during the FIS World Cup in February
2011 and regularly hosts World Cup in skiflying. On 18 March 2017
Stefan Kraft set a world record in the ground with 253.5 m,
while Dmitri Vassiliev flew to 254 m, but crashed. (5. september 2020)

Heggen kirke har vært
hovedkirke i Modum siden
middelalderen. |
 Da var kirken i mellomtiden solgt på auksjon til cancellieraad Schwartz. I menighetens eie kom den i 1828, og den var da i svært dårlig stand. Koret ble utvidet og tårnet (takrytteren) gjenoppbygget i 1832 under byggmester Dideke (tegninger og utførelse). (5. september 2020) https://www.norske-kirker.net/home/buskerud/heggen-kirke/ |

Identity by Giuseppe Penone With its roots raised more than 12 metres up in the air, overlooking the river and the forest, the two-tree sculpture was commissioned on occasion of the opening of the new museum building, The Twist. Set on a mound near the museum, the work is unmistakably identifiable as by the Italian artist, yet it also represents a slight twist in his Oeuvre, as one tree dramatically carries the other, head down and roots in the air. A gentle nod to the architecture of the building, while also being made in direct response to the Kistefos. (27. mars 2022) "Identity" by Giuseppe Penone – Kistefos (kistefosmuseum.com) |

of inspiration and the starting point for the sculpture. It is the energy Hein
himself experienced in the encounter with Kistefos that he wants to convey to
the audience. While the project was still in the melting pot, Hein conducted a pilgrimage on the St. Olav’s routes between Oslo and Trondheim.
Hein’s meeting with the nature and serenity of the journey represents a
turning point in his practice. Silence has long been an important part of
Hein’s artistic practice. However, the importance and understanding of
silence were given a renewed and stronger prominence on this journey.

 Octopus is a sculptural representation of Octopussy, a recurring figure in Melgaard’s imagery. During the exhibition “More Pricks than Kicks” at the Astrup Fearnley Museum in 1998, the sculpture was part of a larger installation that consisted of drawings, sketches, photographs, clippings from magazines, bronze sculptures and textiles. Octopus was centrally located on the floor with its tentacles spread out so that the audience was drawn into the sculpture’s and the artist’s sphere.

 Rising from the water inlet of the mill, this work’s swirling tentacles are a monumental example of Yayoi Kusama’s obsession with pattern and color.

At first, the sculpture appears to not be present as something material, it is visible
only by virtue of reflecting light and the landscape around it. The mirror surface twists and turns the reflections of shrubs and trees, it enlarges and decreases and challenges our perception of ambient perspectives. Kapoor’s artwork is thus
primarily an image, but also a sculptural and an architectural form. Above all, however, it is an experience that is constantly changing in harmony with the
nature that surrounds it. (6. september 2020)

Flowers in the Attic
Gjennom sitt kunstneriske samarbeid utforsker Djurberg og Berg menneskets skyggesider, psyke og moral. Ved hjelp av skulpturer, animasjoner, lyd og gåtefulle installasjoner, konstruerer kunstnerne en verden med emosjonelle spenninger, konflikt, makt, lyst og fantasi. Verkens ofte makabre essens, kombineres med svart humor og en absurd tilnærming. (6. september 2020)

Kroksund bru, gang og sykkelveien.
Steinsfjorden (sett fra Kroksund bru) er cirka 13,9 km² i utbredelse og forbundet med Tyrifjorden via Kroksund (E16 passerer over sundet via Kroksund bru og veifyllinger på hver side). Fjorden har en gjennomsnittlig dybde på ca. 10,2 meter og
maksdybde på ca. 24 m. (6. september 2020)

Den første brua over Kroksundet sto ferdig i 1807 og må sees i sammenheng
med byggingen av den bergenske kongevei mellom Lommedalen og Sundvollen over Krokskogen.
Peder Anker ville legge den bergenske hovedvei over Ringerike og sørget for å anlegge broen. Den ble åpnet fram til Sundvollen i 1805, der det var sundsted. Arbeidene med å bygge ei bru ble startet av militære mannskaper alt i 1806,
men de rakk bare å få østre fylling mellom Sundvollen og Sundøya ferdig,
før krigen med Sverige satte en stopper for det videre arbeidet.

ny steinbru der, og denne står fortsatt, i det den utgjør fundament for dagens
to-feltsbru.
Den gamle steinbrua, som hadde sterkt hvelvet veibane, er nå gang- og sykkelbru
og synes lett fra vannsidene. Det lengste spennet på den gamle steinbroen ble
sprengt 12. april 1940 for å hindre tysk fremrykning.
I dag er det fyllinger mellom Sundvollen og Sundøya og mellom Slettøya og
Kroksund slik at det kun er bru mellom de to øyene. Midt under brua er det
passasje for båttrafikken gjennom en større åpning i den gamle steinbrua.
