22 Trip suggestions - Sveio At Nesheim, Sveio Mølstrevåg 200m Vikse 0m The coastal trip in Sveio (49 km) (Sveio – Rød – Auklandshamn – Bua – Vikse – Sveio) Buavåg Auklandshamn Tjernangel Sveio Tveit 0m 10km 20km 30km 40km Difficulty level: Medium Length: 49 km Surface: Tarmac and gravel road Rød The route varies from cycle path along the main road, country road through beautiful farmland and roads along the coast. There is several opportunities to take detours if you like, or possible short cuts. Where the road from the Golf-park meets the road to the village, turn left and ride on the pedestrian-/cycle-track, signposted “Bergen”, i.e. northwards alongside the main road Route 47. When the cycle-track stops, you have to cross the road; the cycle-track resumes on the right-hand side. It continues through an underpass at the intersection with the highway E39, and you ride on, past a service-station on the east side, Haukås, until you get to Rød. At the sign to “Auklandshamn”, turn left, leaving the cycle-track. This road is narrow and winding, with local traffic. On the right-hand side is Langevatnet with places for swimming and for fishing if you buy a fishing-permit. You come to a road junction with a sign to “Tjernagel”. You can make a detour here by taking the road to the right, then walk to the recreation area Slettene, where you can swim or picnic, and there’s a public toilet. Otherwise go to the left at that junction. There is a store at Auklandshamn. You ride south along the coast with its inlets, towards Tjernagel. There is a riding school, and a little further on down a hill to the right an old harbour and fishing-port. The road goes to Bua. On the left is Storevatnet where you can swim. Just past a kindergarten (previously school) on the left, you come to a crossroads. (Straight ahead is the shortest way back to Sveio village, a hilly road with traffic to and from the ferry.) The road to the right from the crossroads, with a sign to “Bømlo”, brings you to Buavåg where a car-ferry goes from. There is a public toilet in the waiting-room. From here the road southwards, Route 541, is part of the North Sea Cycle Route, in the direction of Haugesund. Just south of Buavåg you can swim in the sea at Grunnavåg, 5 minutes’ walk from the road. Further on at Hovda there is a place to stop with a view over Bømlafjord running out into the North Sea passage Sletto. Continuing southwards you pass Eltravåg and come to Lyngholmsvegen. Here is another possible detour, to the right out to the monument in memory of the shipwreck “D S Thor” in 1906. Route 541 goes past Vandaskog and on the left is the gravel road Paddevegen, with a small red house from 1800. This is the way back, but another possible detour is to ride 1/2 km further on to Mølstre crossroads, and turn right at the sign. “Ryvarden Kulturfyr”, a lighthouse well worth visiting. About 7 kilometres there and back (4 km gravel). From Mølstre crossroads you turn left and ride 1/2 km back to Paddevegen. There is little traffic on this gravel road but beware, because of the forest and the hills, you don’t always see or hear it until the last minute. When you get to the asphalt, turn right and shortly left on to the cycle-track back to the shops and on to the Golf-park.
A little break at Malkenes quay Trip suggestions - Tysnes 23 Malkenes – Haaheim Gaard (19,7 km) The cycling trip to the beautiful Haaheim Gaard starts at Malkenes quay, where the Hardangerfjordekspressen express boat calls on its way from Bergen to Rosendal. Malkenes Lundegrend The route is almost 20 km long, so it’s a good thing that there’s a culinary treat at the other end of the route, where an unforgettable experience awaits you. You cycle up the road from the Malkenes quay to the crossroads on the Rv 49 road, turn right to the west and follow the road to Lundegrend and Våge. Here, you can enjoy cycling on quiet roads while you enjoy the views of Humlevika cove, Gjersvikvågen bay and the Bjørnefjord with its wooded small islands, islets and skerries. After 3.5 km, you pass Lundegrend, where you can buy something to drink or fill your water bottle. If you really want to work up a sweat, you can take a detour after a further 6 km by turning off towards Myrdal at the crossroads. This the shortest and steepest ascent up Tysnessåta (753 metres). After 12 km, you get to Våge and follow the Rv 49 road to the left at the roundabout, south towards Stord, Hodnanes and Uggdal. Just before you get to Uggdal, there are signs up towards Dalen. You then follow the road along the Reiso river the last 3 km to Haaheim Gaard. You will receive a warm welcome when you arrive at Haaheim Gaard, where you can enjoy the good life until you’re ready for the next adventure on the seat of your bike.
