Hovdsundet beach in Bodø

This hike starts on the road up towards Mjelle, from here you walk down the path in the forest until you reach the seashore. Follow the shore and you will first reach a beach called Auvika, keep walking and eventually you end up at a cliff by Hovdsundet with a nice view towards the beach and Landegode Island. This hike is around 3 kilometres long from the start point to the cliff, which takes about 1 hour. You might have to climb and jump here and there along the way, but this can mostly be avoided by going further up away from the shore. The hike ends up at around 3.95 km and 1 hour and 15 minutes all the way down
