Cycling route – Husnes-Kaldestad-Sunde-Husnes (15 km)
This cycling trip is on pleasant, quiet roads around
Husnes.
Start at Husnes Båthavn, which has been voted Norway’s best marina several
times. On the road up from the sea, you pass Kvinnherad golf club and Undarheim
golf course, which is a nine-hole course. To your left, you will also see the
aluminium factory at Husnes, SørNorge Aluminium.
Turn right at the first crossroads and continue on to Husnes church. Turn right again
at the church and cycle on to the next crossroads. Turn right there as well. Turn left
towards Sunde at the next crossroads (not towards Bogsnes).
At the next crossroads, cycle straight ahead on the Kaldestadvegen road, not
towards the centre of Husnes. There is then a slight ascent where the road twists
and turns up to Kaldestad. There is a lovely view of the fjord from up at Kaldestad.
This is the starting point for the walking path to Kaldestadåsen. Having passed
Grønstøl, the road descends again down into a little valley where you turn off to
the right on the Vågsvegen road. Follow this road past Christmas tree plantations
and pleasant small farm clusters.
At the sign for Bjelland, you can take a detour and walk to Bjellandsneset. Continue
on the Vågsvegen road to Sunde, where you first pass Sunde marina and then cross
the bridge into the old centre of Sunde. Turn off to the right after the bridge and
continue past the old canning factory, which is now used as a salmon harvesting
plant. A little further on, you will see Sunde quay on the other side of the bay.
Express boats call here on their way to both Bergen and Stavanger.
Continue up the bay and don’t turn left towards Husnes, but cycle across the bridge
and turn left towards Rosendal when you come to the next crossroads. The road
then continues up to Reset and the Fv 48 Vikefjellsvegen road, which you follow a
while until the Post Road crosses the Fv 48 road. Lovely view of Opsangervatnet
lake with Husnes on the far side of the lake.
Turn off the Fv road at the Post Road sign, and follow the gravel road down towards
Opsangervatnet lake. The Post Road takes you to the road in the centre of Husnes.
Turn left towards the light sculpture ‘Samspel’ and continue to the roundabout by
the Statoil service station at Husnes. Then turn right towards the golf course/church
and return to Husnes Båthavn.
