The journey starts at GamlaVærket or Kronen Gaard Hotel.
After 30 minutes, you can stretch your legs at one of Europe's finest beaches.

The tour then continues to Ølberg where you can enjoy the view along with a well-deserved soft ice cream.
Before the route takes you past Sele and Borestranden and into the magical landscape of Nordsjøvegen.
The last beach before returning to the hotel is the idyllic Drill Beach, where we recommend ending with a refreshing dip or why not a surfing lesson with one of our partners if you have the energy left?
Once there, the chefs will be waiting for you, so after a well-deserved rest in historic surroundings, treat yourself to a delicious three-course dinner with something good in the glass while you plan tomorrow’s route!
