One of the best ways to enjoy the unique and beautiful wilderness surrounding Værlandet is on a bicycle. Cycling is popular in the region and offers an excellent sample of what the area has to offer. Start by biking through the Nordsjøporten (North Sea portal), a network of six bridges connecting the area’s small islands like a string of pearls! It’s incredibly scenic, and biking allows you to slow down and enjoy the landscape.

Or, make your way to the island of Sørværet’s nature reserve, which protects a unique wetland home to a wide range of birds and marine life. The area is renowned for its abundance of wildlife, so it’s a perfect place to enjoy a combination of cycling and getting to know the regional biodiversity.

There are plenty of opportunities to stop, rest, and learn along the way. For example, the Norwegian Seabird Center illustrates the close ties between humans and seabirds along Norway’s coast. Or, steel your nerves and your legs with coffee and cake at Gallery Værlandet, one of the most popular spots for a snack, beloved by both locals and visitors.

If you’d like to combine biking with a sea adventure, you can take a mid-day cycling break to join a sealife safari. Enjoy spotting white-tailed eagles, sea eagles, and other seabirds and aquatic animals.
