The five-kilometre marked trail to Røynevarden from Høvåg is quite an easy hike. The path winds primarily through peaceful forest terrain, has about ninety metres of elevation gain and should take you roughly one hour fifteen minutes to walk. When you get to Røynevarden, it is a great viewpoint.

Røynevarden is only a little hill at just over seventy metres, but it is big on views and history. Situated along the southern coast of Norway, it has a historic coastal military observation point. It is a very popular viewpoint, and there is a great five-kilometre hike to the viewpoint where you have stunning, panoramic views looking out over Røynevardsfjorden.

The bus was set on fire by "someone" and thus destroyed. But as a curiosity in the midst of an otherwise scenic idyll, the remains are still here.

MØRKESTØLBUSSEN Here at Mørkestøltjønna you will find the remains of a burned out old bus. Probably a Volvo, model year 1946-53. The bus was towed from Kristiansand by truck and then pulled here by a tractor. It was author Jens Bjørneboe's brother, Ole Andreas Kærup Bjørneboe, who was the architect behind it, but both brothers used the bus as a getaway. It was furnished with both a bed and a dining area, and a wood stove was installed for heating and cooking.

The gaze goes back and forth all the time. You really have to be careful that you also pay attention to the path. Difficult to highlight here. NORWAY is a single highlight.
