The views over the Förde are simply wonderful and shape the character of the Gendamsti. Unfortunately, not all photos here show what the name of the highlight promises.

Why is a detour worthwhile? Because the ride here is definitely more pleasant than the alternative route along the main road. You can really enjoy the ride, and despite the good weather, it wasn't too busy today.
