Svortland – Brandasund (32,9 km)<br />
The trip to Brandasund starts in Svortland.<br />
In Hollundskjosen (<strong>the</strong> roundabout), turn left towards Brandasund. After 1.5 km, you<br />
come to Urangsvåg and its sheltered marina. The county road north to Brandasund is<br />
a varied, fun cycle and is narrow and hilly in parts. The road crosses several islands<br />
that are connected by bridges, and <strong>the</strong>re are great views of <strong>the</strong> islands and skerries.<br />
You can take detours to some nice places en route to Brandasund, such as Katla and<br />
Skinnhueneset. ‘Nillo på Skjèret’ once lived on <strong>the</strong> island of Torgjo (Torget). Today,<br />
her descendants run <strong>the</strong> traditional village shop <strong>the</strong>re. Now, it is only a fur<strong>the</strong>r 1.5<br />
km to Brandasund, and you are surrounded by <strong>the</strong> ocean on almost all sides. When<br />
you arrive in picturesque Brandasund, you will see white-painted houses huddled<br />
toge<strong>the</strong>r, with lots of passing boat traffic. You can grab a bite to eat here. There is also<br />
a small sales outlet for felted woollen products and a wood carver who can make just<br />
about anything.<br />
A walk to Brandasundsåta is also recommended while you are out at <strong>the</strong> ocean’s<br />
edge. It takes about 20 minutes to get to <strong>the</strong> top, where you get a real sense of being<br />
on top of <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
Follow <strong>the</strong> same road back to Svortland. The route has a total length of 32.9 km and<br />
an altitude difference of 58 metres.<br />
