Vardetangen and Årvika

I took the bus to Fonnes and from there followed the suggested roundtrip via Vardetangen and Årvika. Overall a very nice hike along either roads with limited traffic or gravel-covered hiking paths. Excellent views along the way and from the westernmost mainland point in Norway. Highly recommended!
