Few people know about the quiet back road along the fjord and long may it continue that way! The morning mist gave the fjord an extreme feel and added so much to the experience. It felt like I was entering a fantasy world as I looked over at the mist lingering on top of the mountains.<\/p>\n<p>Halfway down the road, I came across a herd of goats standing together on a small bank overlooking the fjord. They never moved as I approached &#8211; I guess it was their way of saying this is our view find your own!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10617\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclenorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230512_113453-copy-1024x478.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclenorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230512_113453-copy-1024x478.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclenorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230512_113453-copy-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclenorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230512_113453-copy-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclenorway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20230512_113453-copy.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On reaching S\u00e6b\u00f8 I quickly grabbed a cold drink and jump on the ferry to take me across the fjord. It is hard to believe that the fjord journey is free for cyclists!

The valley is less than 100m wide in places and has vertical rock walls on either side. I took my time cycling it. Every meter is precious, every kilometer is an adventure.
