Tips from the Community
Stokke kirke is a Lutheran church built in 1886 on a site that has been used for churches since the Middle Ages. An older stone church once stood there but was replaced because it became too small for the growing community. Today, the church is an important local landmark and can seat about 550 people.

The path crosses Fruvika beach where there is a small bench to stop, regain strength, and continue the journey.

From the road, access to the heights of Vardåsen is via a very steep and rocky single track. There are highly technical sections where climbing with a muscular bike can be really challenging. There are large stone steps, some over 1 to 1.5 meters high. It's definitely worth reaching the top, and the descent, although short, is very intense :-)
