From coast to coast along rivers.
As you leave Kokelv today, stop by the church on the top of the hill. The Kokelv Church was built in 1960 as part of the reconciliation project, in which German youth helped rebuild what had been destroyed by fire during the war. The day continues with easy cycling along the Russelva river, with several resting benches by the water.
In Olderfjord, 28 km from Kokelv, there is a dining spot and accommodations available. This area serves as a crossroads with notable traffic along the route. Here, you may meet other long-distance cyclists who are heading for the North Cape. The journey continues over the mountains and down toward Skaidi, which also offers food and lodging. This is also a crossroad, and there will be some traffic. After another 5 km Repparfjord camping provides an additional overnight option.
