After breakfast, join a guide for a 3-4hr gentle hike around the valley. The trail starts from Mundal, walking mostly on farmer's gravel roads. You will pass different farms with cows and sheep. It is an easy and peaceful trail with an ascent of 0- 350m. The last part is a bit steeper and rocky. This path will lead you to an old "seater" (historic farm pasture), where milking cows and sheep are grazing. You may also get a selfie with the cows. They are quite curious. Here you can enjoy a picnic lunch, and return down to the village for a floating sauna on the fjord this evening.
