The tour passes through the stunning and unique landscape of the Unesco Magma Geopark.

The trip starts in Egersund and goes along RV 44 towards Hauge in Dalane. At Birkeland, turn off RV 44 and take FV 33 towards Nesvåg. Here you can cycle all the way along the sea, almost like being in a boat. Here you can make a short stop at Nesvåg Sjø og Motormuseum. Then you continue past Rekefjord and then a short stop for lunch, coffee and a guided tour of the old charging station at Sogndalstrand Kulturhotell if you wish. After a delicious cup of coffee in historic surroundings, you can continue your tour.

Then you cycle on towards Hetlandsheia and into a completely different natural environment than on the way out. The description sea and heath fits well here. Once down again at Helleland, you cycle along the E39 on your own cycle path to Krossmoen. There you turn off onto the main road and down to Egersund. If you want to challenge yourself a little more and have many miles on your back, you can continue to Jøssingfjord and Flekkefjord. This requires a well-trained body.
