A great place to stop by Brauers Aalkate. They have super fresh fish sandwiches, and on Thursdays you can buy freshly caught fish there.

Important here: Run around the station three times, then do three burpees, and then spin around in a circle while screaming loudly. If I see anyone doing this, they'll get a slap on the back of my neck.

quiet but lots of leaves... It's best to have mudguards or drive slower, otherwise you'll get dirty very quickly

NOK... that's a bit longer than this one highlight point. According to the RV tourists, it's absolutely amazing. The standing places are booked up for the entire season. As a cyclist, it can be a bit boring at times, but there are a few nice places to stop for a break. A special highlight at sunrise and sunset.
