    Cycling to Hvalnesviti is a pleasure: quiet roads, views of the sea and the peaks of Vestrahorn. Ideal for a short break and taking epic photos of the orange lighthouse with the Atlantic Ocean in the background. If it's windy, be careful when approaching the coastline.

      Orange lighthouse on black beaches
      At Cape Hvalnes, this orange lighthouse from 1954 watches over a coastline of black beaches and jagged mountains. A historic landmark that guided ships through storms, today it's a must-see stop for stunning photos, fresh air, and views of the Atlantic. Perfect for a quick bike break before continuing your journey.
