From <strong>the</strong> Golf-park cycle past <strong>the</strong> shops and about 200 metres west of <strong>the</strong> church<br />
ride up <strong>the</strong> hill on <strong>the</strong> right, and after about 1/2 km turn right again, northwards<br />
along Tjernagelsvegen. This road is partly narrow and winding and is used by<br />
heavy transport. After about 3 km <strong>the</strong>re’s a side-road on <strong>the</strong> left with a sign to<br />
Eltravåg. Ride about 3 1/2 km until <strong>the</strong> road gets to Route 541.<br />
Turn left, southwards. When you come to Lyngholmsvegen on <strong>the</strong> right, you can<br />
take a detour out <strong>the</strong>re (2 km each way) to see <strong>the</strong> monument in memory of <strong>the</strong><br />
shipwreck, “DS Thor”, in 1906. Continuing along Route 541, past Vandaskog, you<br />
come to Mølstre crossroads. Turn right, following <strong>the</strong> signs to Ryvarden. From<br />
Mølstrevåg <strong>the</strong> last 2 1/2 km are on a narrow gravel road over a moor.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> lighthouse <strong>the</strong>re is a gallery and a café, open on Sundays, as well as<br />
weekdays in <strong>the</strong> summer. For accommodation, you can rent a cozy house with a<br />
living room, kitchen, a bathroom and four bedrooms. To book <strong>the</strong> house/make an<br />
agreement please contact Gunn Bente Håvardsholm on tel.: + 47 53 74 80 00.<br />
You can find more information on www.ryvarden.no<br />
To get back to Sveio village, cycle to <strong>the</strong> crossroads at Mølstre, turn left (north)<br />
and after about 250 metres, where <strong>the</strong>re is a little red house from <strong>the</strong> 1800’s, turn<br />
right onto <strong>the</strong> gravel road Paddevegen. Beware, <strong>the</strong>re is not much traffic here but<br />
you don’t always see or hear it until <strong>the</strong> last minute. Ride about 5 km, turn right<br />
and straight afterwards left on to <strong>the</strong> pedestrian-/cycle-track past <strong>the</strong> church and<br />
shops, and left back up to <strong>the</strong> Golf-park.<br />
If you want a longer trip, you can cycle from Sveio center towards Førde on E39.<br />
Down at <strong>the</strong> pier in Førde lies <strong>the</strong> restaurant/cafe Kaien AS.<br />
Ryvarden towards Hårsku, Sveio
