Round trip Kvalvåg/Kalland (37km)<br />

A round trip around Vigdarvatn lake, <strong>the</strong> largest lake in<br />

Sveio. Plenty of opportunities for a dip in fresh or salt<br />

water. The round trip follows a bike path and roads with<br />

little traffic.<br />

From <strong>the</strong> Golf-park cycle to <strong>the</strong> road to <strong>the</strong> village and turn left, on to <strong>the</strong> pedestrian-/<br />

cycle-track, going northwards alongside <strong>the</strong> main road Route 47. When <strong>the</strong> cycle-track<br />

stops, cross <strong>the</strong> road and cycle on <strong>the</strong> side-road, signposted “Kvalvåg”, eastwards past<br />

Lid school. At Krossgått turn left, towards Våga. The road goes under <strong>the</strong> E39, continue<br />

to Våga. Down a steep hill you come to a junction where you turn right.<br />

You continue past Kvalvåg, past Fjon camping-place, and a fish farm. Fur<strong>the</strong>r on you<br />

come to <strong>the</strong> highway E39 and you have to cycle to <strong>the</strong> left, on <strong>the</strong> highway about 200<br />

metres as far as <strong>the</strong> side-road with a sign to “Søre Våge”which takes off to <strong>the</strong> right.<br />

Along <strong>the</strong> next 10 km, past Eilerås and Kalland, <strong>the</strong>re are several lakes, but note that<br />

swimming is not allowed in lakes used for town water supplies (signposted).<br />

This road leads to <strong>the</strong> main road Route 47 where you turn right (north). Use <strong>the</strong> cycletrack,<br />

and turn into Route 541 with a sign to Buavåg. After about 1 km, keep to <strong>the</strong><br />

right, leaving R541, and ride along Vågedalen. At <strong>the</strong> intersection with Route 47, cross<br />

over and after a short distance on <strong>the</strong> cycle-track, turn right and follow <strong>the</strong> signs past<br />

Tveit on <strong>the</strong> local road. This leads back to R47 where <strong>the</strong> cycle-track begins again and<br />

goes past Krossleite housing area and under <strong>the</strong> main road. Then you turn right and<br />

come back to Sveio village, and fur<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong> Golf-park.<br />
