Walking from the library up the hill to Myra

You walk past the library and turn in the direction of the new  walking bridge over the river.

You pass Mikrobryggeriet and turn to the right, before getting to the walking bridge.

Then it is climbing up this cobbled street behind the museum.

Many of the old mills and factories now have new functions.

The Danish prince Christian Fredrick (1786 - 1848) who for a few months in 1814 was the king of Norway, had been fitted with a face mask.

The crow has only recently been replaced on Moss city's coat of arms, but just like the king from 1814, he has also become a sculpture. 

Morsa or the Moss river is, I have been told, the shortest river in Norway, bringing water down from the lake Vansjø to the Oslofjord. 

The waterfalls from the lake to the fjord became the beginning of industry in Moss.

.

The dam built at the top keeps the water in the lake under control.  

Nowadays the waterfalls only show their full glory for part of the year, and today was not that time.

This is the part of Vansjø closest to the dam.

In celebration of Moss 300th anniversary in 2020 (yes, what a year for celebrations!), a walking trail was built up here, with this cute  bench for a little break.

You can bring your picnic because there are  tables and benches, and even two outdoor grills.

In the distance, at this point, you can see cars driving into Moss.

This is where I turned to the right and walked back to the center of Moss.

 I could have continued walking towards Mossehallen.

Perhaps another day....
