From the island of Storfosna (previous post) you can cycle further out to the ocean, to Kråkvåg (Crow Bay).
On the way, the small island of Holmen is passed, and here they have set up a small bath tub. Unfortunately not in use in February 2022.
Kråkvåg is both an island and an archipelago consisting of four islands. The name comes from the crows, which seek refuge here at night. The population of humans is around 50. This is an incredibly beautiful place!
At Kråkvåg there are dozens of small and large, beautiful white beaches. There are so many that you will always be able to find a sheltered beach. Which comes in rather handy, there is a lot of wind here!
While cycling back and forth, unable to choose the best beach for bathing, we found Skjærgårdsstranda (Archipelago beach), and it basically chose itself.
The crowd of people was reasonable when we visited Skjærgårdsstranda at the end of February. But in the summer – what a paradise: benches, barbecue, bathtub, bathing bay and sauna! Here we had our fresh winter bath, a little exciting too. There were so big waves this day that a real drag was created in the small bay. Lovely!
At the end of the road you will find Kråkvåg fort, built in the 1980s.
After investing a billion kroner in building the fort, it was closed down before it came into use.
Of course it wasn’t a waste of money. At least the ‘Kråkvåg people’ got a bridge!
This day we cycled almost forty kilometers. It was a hard exercise, because none of us had cycled much during the last 3 months. However, this was solved in the very best way: Accommodation and spa at Hovde farm in Brekstad.
It doesn’t get better than that!
