Cycling: Malkenes - Skorpo - Våge - Lønborg
Another ambitious cycling trip to Tysnes, this time with the goal of visiting Kongshaug and Hovda. I repeated the success of my previous trip and thus took the express ferry to Malkenes instead of starting by cycling the 40 km to Halhjem. From Malkenes I cycled to Skorpo, once again enjoying the excellent views along Onarheimsfjorden.
The trailhead for Kongshaug at Stykkenestet was easily located, and after a visit to Kongshaug (see the separate trip report here: Kongshaug), I returned to Onarheim for a well-deserved ice cream before starting the climb up Fjellvegen towards Hovda.
After the visit to Hovda (see the separate trip report here: Hovda), I was happy to see that I had plenty of time to get to the planned ferry at Våge, where I arrived with around 15 minutes to spare. From Halhjem the trip was then completed by cycling the around 40 km home to Lønborg.
In summary, an excellent trip that can be highly recommended.
