How it works
When we’re kitted out with our bikes and helmets, our guide will take us on a tour of historic Brønnøysund. Along the way, we’ll hear intriguing stories about the town at the geographical centre of Norway.
Follow the smaller roads to Tørrfiskbrygga to see traditional boats and old handcrafts, and discover why Brønnøy Church isn’t just any old Norwegian church...
Next, we’ll cycle about 1.2 miles (2km) to the Kunstlåven, the ARTBARN, in a picturesque old farm at the end of the road near the sea. It’s the showroom of a local visual artist. We’ll share traditional coffee and cake with her here. If you like, take some time to explore outside too – head to the shore and scan the beautiful bay to spot the famous Torghatten mountain.
When we’ve cycled back to the pier, we’ll have earned a taste of what is reputedly the best soft ice cream in the world!
Excursion is subject to a minimum number of participants.
