Haugesund – Bømlo – Stord – Austvoll – Bergen

The trip is a continuing of the North sea route from Egersund to Haugesund and further to Bergen, but is also suitable for a single short trip. The trip goes through rolling coast landscape, and gives you a nice experience of sea, nature and landscape with small villages, farms and animals. Bømlo and Stord are connected with two suspension bridges, with walk- and bike road. From here you have a nice view to fjords and mountains. Between the bridges, there are picnic areas and nice possibilities for a swim. If you want a break from all the biking, what a bout a trip with a ferry?
We recommend a detour to Mosterhamn, an important center in the Viking age, with exhibition and a stone church from the 12 century. The trip can be made between May 15th - September 14th.
