Walking routes with panoramic views<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine something warm in your mug, a piece of chocolate, and a well-deserved break after finally reaching the hiking destination<\/em><\/p>\n

Then only one thing is missing \u2013 an armchair to enjoy the view from! The thought and idea that Sten Fr\u00f8itland in Lister Outdoor Recreation Council had was to be able to offer \u00abthat little extra\u00bb to those who struggle their way up to a viewpoint. In addition, we thought that perhaps the chairs will \u00abtrigger\u00bb more people to get out on a hike.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Our plan was to build our own hiking chairs to be placed at strategic and scenic viewpoints in all Lister municipalities, says Fr\u00f8itland. At the same time and unbeknownst to when the idea was presented internally within the outdoor recreation council, a hiking chair \u2013 a so-called \u00abmoon chair\u00bb with the same purpose \u2013 was placed out on M\u00e5nen in Lyngdal. The initiator behind this chair is a friend of Fr\u00f8itland. He runs a small carpentry business and naturally wanted orders for more \u00abmoon chairs\u00bb. This thus opened up the opportunity for a collaboration. The general manager of Lister Friluftsr\u00e5d, Christian Landmark, applied for funds from a local bank, and in the autumn of 2017 the outdoor recreation council was awarded funds for the purchase of a total of 13 such chairs. In the spring of 2018, the first ones were placed out, and chairs now stand at Skjolnesveten and St. Olavsvarden in Farsund, Neseknipen, Skuldra and Skrelia in Lyngdal, Stakksteinsliknuten and Blomliknuten in H\u00e6gebostad, by Geiteknuten at Feda, on Knaben in Kvinesdal, and on H\u00f8g\u00e5sen and Peder\u00e5sen in Flekkefjord municipality.
\nIn Sirdal, the chairs were placed out on R\u00f8seknuten in the north and by the path heading towards Klovsteinen above Tonstad. It must also be mentioned that there are three such chairs at Varbak in Farsund \u2013 these can be said to be the origin and the inspiration for the local carpentry firm starting the production and sale of the chairs. Through private initiative, some chairs have also been sold and placed out in certain municipalities. The job of getting the chairs in place is a chapter in itself \u2013 they are produced as flat-packs and assembled on-site. With a total weight of sixty to seventy kilos, a bit of logistics is required to transport them out.
\n\u2013 In the municipalities where winter offers enough snow and the possibility of snowmobile transport, we try to make use of this. When spring arrives, we can just fill our backpacks with tools and make the trip up for the assembly work, says Fr\u00f8itland. Otherwise, we have previously received great help from many volunteer workers to transport them out. Now in 2022, two new chairs have been placed in each of the six Lister municipalities, in strategic locations that provide a view over the village or municipal centre. Flekkefjord Sparebank granted funds, and production was thus underway.
\nAs for Sirdal, there will be one chair on Vardefjell in the south and one on Hadvardshei in the north. Otherwise, the other municipalities in Lister have been allocated the following locations: Nonskarknuten and Hamrevarden in Kvinesdal, Storest\u00f8a north of Vanse and Knygen in Farsund, Faret and Lundefjellet in Lyngdal, Storest\u00f8a and H\u00f8gfjellet in Flekkefjord, and Hekkfjell and Buksetj\u00f8dnknuten in H\u00e6gebostad. \u2013 We naturally hope that the initiative will be appreciated and that the new chairs will be frequently visited. Perhaps in due course we can also launch a competition on the turLister app to visit as many trail chairs as possible in Lister, Fr\u00f8itland concludes.
