Winter stroll from Høvikodden
The coast from Sjøholmen via Høvikodden towards Sarbuvollen offers great terrain, nice hiking possibilities and beautiful cultural and natural landscapes. Summer as winter. The winter sun lights up the stretch on a good day. Take a walk in the sculpture park at Henie Onstad Art Center then continue along the water towards Veritasparken which through the years has housed a glass factory and a lamp and metal ware factory before DNV now ensures life at sea through certifications. Up in the woods you find a network of trails and a great playground in DNV Kindergarten.
Walk on ice:
During the cold winter period it often freezes between Høvikodden, Storøya, Solvik, Kalvøya and Borøya. Then the area is transformed into a great hiking area by ski, on foot, skating or kick-bikes. If the ice is safe, trails are marked. Take a stoll to Borøya and enjoy the view and a pique-nic.
It is nice to end the tour with a coffee and snack at the Piruette at Henie Onstad Art Center or at Sjøholmen.
Good parking facilities both on Høvikodden and Sjøholmen, and the bus stops nearby.
