Itinerary description
A very easy and rewarding lazy-sunday afternoon hike with a bunch of great beaches for fishing or bbq'ing. And very peaceful as well, with only a bunch of very cute Norwegian sheep to keep you company (they keep on staring!). Park your car at the end of the road, next to the roundabout, walk back approximately 100 meters and take the road on your right. Keep to the left on a few vague junctions and reach the sea. Walk past a bunch of cottages on your left-hand and pick up the sign-posting (white poles with yellow markings). On a stormy days, the thundering sound of crashing waves is quite impressive here. Enjoy the taste of saltspray on your lips. The trails provides continuous views over the ocean and some rock stacks that are even further out. One of them houses a very picturesque lighthouse. The hike ends at a very attractive little harbor called Klubben. Wooden boat houses, drystone walls and boat ramps bring up memories from a gone age here. Sit down and let this place get to you over lunch.

Superb walk, stunning views, highly recommended. Requires some attention to follow the track. Quite playful as well, when jumping from stone to stone to avoid the marshy bits of the path.
