Old handwriting and photo location

1. First word looks like Bjørkely to me.

2. Kleppestø possibly which is right outside of Bergen? And there is a road there called Bjørkelivegen?

3. The writing: Bjørkely – Kleppestø

   I believe, as an other commenter says, Bjørkely is the name of the cabin, and it is at the place Kleppestø.

4. Bjørkely – Kleppestø. Bjørkely is the cabin. Kleppestø is a place on Askøy just outside Bergen.

5. Björkely – Kleppestö

6. Here’s a photo of the cabin from 1962.

   You’ll be happy to know that the Cabin still exists, but it has been heavily remodeled.

   Here’s the [location. ](https://maps.app.goo.gl/UUUQzg2U3eZ99MKc6)

   Edit: It was originally built and owned by a Alfred Bragstad in 1937 and sold in 1960. Photo looks to be older than 1960.

7. Most likely, the cabin is somewhere on [this old ortophoto](https://www.norgeibilder.no/?x=-37290&y=6736730&level=15&utm=33&projects=2400&layers=&plannedOmlop=0&plannedGeovekst=0)
