Helgeland Coast

Day 21: Brønnøysund-Nesna (104 km)

After a quick breakfast (but with a waffle) at my hotel in Brønnøysund this morning, I left at 8:30 – rather early because I wanted to catch a ferry at 9:15, 14 kilometres away from Brønnøysund. At the ferry harbour, I met Wolf – another cyclist from the Black Forest region who seemed very nice. He started his trip in Germany and is going to cycle to Narvik. We had the same route today, so we cycled together.

The first ferry took us from Horn to Andalsvågen. From here we had a 20 kilometres’ ride to the next ferry, Forvik-Tjøtta. Since that ferry doesn’t depart that often, we also had time for a coffee and second breakfast at a Coop shop.

After this second ferry, we had a long section along the beautiful Helgeland Coast. We saw among other things the mountain formation Seven Sisters and crossed the 1065 metres long Helgeland bridge.

Finally, after almost exactly 100 kilometres, we reached the third and last ferry for today which took us from Levang to Nesna. Right before we reached the harbour, I spotted a nice meadow from the ferry where we set up our tents now.
