The Tarva archipelago provides a magical coastal experience. This is a child friendly bicycle trip in scenic surroundings. The archipelago is protected and has several sites with remains from the WWII occupation of the area. The total land area of the islands is only 14 square km (5.4 sq. miles) where Hus\u00f8ya island is the largest and contributes about half of the area. The island is void of trees and is a rich bird habitat. The island is inhabited and the main occupation is sheep farming. The coastal moorland has been used as year-round grazing for 4000 years. The special landscape combined with WWII remnants, archeological sites and a rich flora makes a trip here more than worthwile.<\/p>

The air force maintains a shooting range on a closed off area of the islands. It is important to stay on the road both due to the possibilty of military excercises as well as not to disturb nesting birds.<\/p>

There are several beautiful picnic spots so pack food and drink and experience the fantastic nature and history of the archipelago of Tarva.<\/p>

There's a good possibility that you will spot White-tailed eagles during your visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The route: The trip starts from the ferry dock and you bike north on the main road towards Val\u00f8ya island. After about half a km (550 yards) you will get to a crossroad by the Tarvag\u00e5rden farm. If you go west you will end up at the military's shooting range and by Karls\u00f8yvalen, the sound between Hus\u00f8ya and Karls\u00f8ya islands, you will find a beautiful picnic spot by the beach. At the end of the road you will find and observation post. Bring a pair of binoculars as there is a good chance you will spot lots of eagles.
\u200b
You can return to the crossroad and continue to Tarvag\u00e5rden farm which was part of Austr\u00e5tt manor until 1858. In 1900 the farm had 16 crofts connected to the farm. Today the farm raises cattle and sheep. About 1 km from the farm you will find Tarva school house next to a 50 year old spruce forest. The spruce is an invasive species in Tarva as it has a tendency to cover the moors. Behind the forest you will see many tree stumps which is part of a project to remove the forest. Both the school grounds and the forested area was a now cleared mine field during the war. Tarva is one of 22 chosen areas in Norway designated cultural landscape of particular value.
\u200b
Further down the road you will arrive at an area (\u00c5kervika bay to Gr\u00f8nndalen valley) which during WWII was fortified with barbed wire and anti-personnel mines. At the peak of activity there were about 2000 soldiers stationed here. The grave yard of Nordbuan was establised in 1921 and the nearby chapel was erected in 1972. You will find lots of WWII remnants in this area: ammunition bunker, concrete road build specifially to transport three large battleship cannons (28 cm barrel opening), dock facilities at Myrav\u00e5gen (North harbour) and the mammoth bunker by Gr\u00f8nndalen valley (was the foundation for a giant radar (30 m x 16 m). The three cannons were placed side by side by Val\u00f8ya island. The cannon closest to the road exploded during a test firing excercise after the war: six Germans and 2 Norwegians died during the explosion. Many of the bunkers are open so bring a flashlight if you'd like to explore. At the summit of Val\u00f8ya island there is an excellent view of the area. North of the summit a path with stairs takes you to some WWII grafitti.
\u200b
From Val\u00f8ya island you will follow the main road back to the ferry dock.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
