Stretch from Hvalen Beach to Brevik
From Hvalen Beach, a new stretch of coastal trail has been developed. Then you will arrive at a residential area and Heistad Beach, where it's also great to swim. Then a new section of coastal trail on a gravel road through fields, before you reach the old Norcem factories. From here to Brevik, you follow the road.
