Taking a break near Uggdal Church<br />

Flatråkervassdraget river (31 km)<br />

The cycling trip to Flatråkervassdraget starts in <strong>the</strong><br />

coastal village of Våge and takes you through wooded<br />

areas and along sparkling lakes.<br />

Våge<br />

You cycle through short avenues of sweet-scented pine trees and through huddled<br />

farm clusters with buildings right by <strong>the</strong> road. Every turn in <strong>the</strong> road and every<br />

plain will tempt you to stop and enjoy <strong>the</strong> picturesque scene and <strong>the</strong> peace and<br />

quiet. You will more or less have <strong>the</strong> road all to yourself. Grazing animals, <strong>the</strong> wind<br />

blowing though <strong>the</strong> treetops and <strong>the</strong> noise of your wheels on <strong>the</strong> tarmac are <strong>the</strong><br />

only sounds you’ll hear.<br />
