Landing

Land on the beach at Kvalvika, on the bogs south of the beach, at Innersand or in Bergland. There is an aerial cable at Innersand, so watch out for it. Talk to the landowner before landing in Bergland. Alternative landings are Nordvika/Kvalvika Beach and Vestervika. Depending on the wind, some also fly back towards the parking.

From the landing at Vestervika, walk back to the trail you came up and follow it down to the parking.

Always check the landing before you fly. If you land in a field, it must be agreed with the farmer, and the grass must not be tall.
