Nordvegen : Bekkjarvik
Mighty whispers from the majestic King ’ s Mountain .
Bekkjarvik is a central harbour in the coastal route to the north and south . The four great burial mounds atop the King ’ s Mountain have long been prominent landmarks and signs of heritage for boats sailing in and past , and are key elements of the concert in Hengjo . Equally important is Bergsveinn Birgisson , author and doctor of Norse philology , who will provide informative and entertaining descriptions of Nordvegen and life along the route of Ivar Bjørnson and Einar Selvik ’ s music .
In daytime the whole family is invited to join a historical walk back to the viking era . The walk starts in the centre at 12 midday and finishes at the mountain about 2½ hours later .
Festival Restaurant Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri ( p . 10 ) will serve a special Norse-inspired menu .

Nordvegen : Os
A dive deep into the art of boat building and the Bronze Age .
Evidence suggests that Os has been an important and strategic Nordvegen port , with a wealth of artefacts dating from the early Stone Age and burial places visible from the sea . Bjørnson and Selvik make a point of this in their performance , along with the rich boatbuilding traditions of the area and Bronze Age rock art .
BØMLO MOSTER AMFI
DATE / TIME Monday 05 June at 18:00
DURATION 1:15
TICKET Tickets are also sold at Moster Amfi .
The performance is divided into two separate parts . At 17:00 at Solstrand Hotel & Bad the history of Os is presented in a lecture and a walk to Oseana , where the concert itself starts at 19:00 . The walk is free of charge and open to all . In the event of large numbers , those with tickets to the Oseana concert will be given preference .
It is possible to park at Oseana and take a boat from Os Quay to Solstrand at 16:30 .

Nordvegen : Moster
Ancient sagas and magnificent scenery in historical harmony .
Moster and Bømlo constitute an ideal starting point for a Nordvegen work : toolmakers were rife in the Stone Age and Vikings held court here . In this concert nature , prehistoric artefacts and sagas are all involved in shedding light on the cause of Moster being such an important place for king , priest and merchant .
As was the case in Bekkjarvik , Einar Selvik and Ivar Bjørnson are joined by author and doctor in Norse philology Bergsveinn Birgisson . With massive tones and lively descriptions they draw memories of long ago into the present age .
Every summer since 1984 Moster Amfi has presented Mostraspelet , a pageant of the kings of the Saga era . The Nordvegen concert concludes the weekend of Mostraspelet in Moster Amfi .
