Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
As the sealed road reaches Sønderstrand, to your left is an area dedicated to
strandse-
jlads,
aka land-yachts or blokarts (a three-wheeled go-kart that utilises a sail to capture the
wind). To the right, it's all about
kitebuggykørsel -
buggies with attached parachutelike
kites. Great speeds are reached, and it's quite a spectacle. If you want a crack at either,
there are companies that can help with lessons and/or gear rental (usually open from about
late April to early October, if weather and conditions are agreeable).
