After breakfast at Myrkdalen (preparing your own lunch bag at the breakfast table) we start our bicycling towards Vikafjellet Mountain Pass.

In the small village of Vik we will have a quick look at at least two churches, one built in stone and the other a proper wooden stave church, before enjoying our picnic lunch bag in Vik. 

Continue bicycling along Sognefjorden to Vangsnes before catching the ferry to Dragsvik.

Perhaps we will have time for a nice short walk by the fjord before dinner at the hotel.
