A clear, dry trail leads you up to a mountain lake where you can catch trout if your luck is in! Most people use about an hour to reach the lake.

You can make a roundtrip round the lake via the island’s highest point Storhornet (497 m), with its magnificent view. At some stages the going is sometimes heavy because the landscape changes all the time. As you progress you’ll pass by Johan Skytt, a huge rock that hangs from the mountainside. You’ll walk mainly on clear-cut trails but toward the end you will meet a marshy patch at the south end of the lake. The whole trip takes about 3 hours.

Along the beach there is a path to Gjuv on the south side of the island. Along the way you can make a detour to see the Huldrehola where, according to mythology, the “hulder” (a sort of Norwegian female leprechaun) lives. Over the ages the sea has shaped the shoreline, even creating potholes that are so comfortably shaped that you can rest in them.

A stroll round the headland each evening is virtually compulsory if you live at Alnes.

On the tip of the headland you can gaze right out to sea. Look along the shoreline and see how time and tide have ground the rocks round. If you time your stroll right you can watch the sun set in the ocean.
