Trip Summary

With a friend, visiting from abroad, we chose Skogsøyna as a very nice outing option. Following the main trail, which by now has been upgraded in multiple places, we soon reached Skogsøytua at the southwestern end of the island. After walking around the spectacular cliff area out there, we then walked basically the same (main) trail back. As always very nice to visit Skogsøyna!
