4. 6. 2023 -72 km / 819 hm Namsos - Kolvereid

Something is just not right today: My sun position APP claims that the sun rises at 02:59 today at 23:28. But I never saw the sun all day long !

The tour from Namsos to Kolvereid starts in dry conditions. The route is well signed as Eurovelo EV1 and follows the coastal road FV.17 (Norwegian: Kystriksveien). We will follow this route for quite a while.

It leads through an impressive landscape with countless fjords, lined with endless but increasingly sparse coniferous and birch forests. The long, energy-sapping ascents alternate with racy descents. On this section there are also countless bridges to cross (just like the Maffay song "Über sieben Brücken musst du geh'n ...).

After about half the distance, the fat cloud cover opens its floodgates once again and the rain suits comes into play once more. At least (between Lund and Hofes) we get  once again in the pleasure of a good 30-minute ferry crossing. Well recovered we cycle the final kilometers to the day's destination.

On the ferry we meet a large number of cyclists from all over Europe (Germany, Holland, Scotland, ...). Of course, there is also a lively exchange of experiences.
