Sunday hike: Hellvik - Egersund

We will take the train from Stavanger/ Sandnes to Hellvik Station, and walk the "old railroad" to Egersund. This is a nice 8 km walk. The trail was built in 1870 as the first railway, very narrow. Nice bridges and tunnels, impressive engineering, nice view and easy terrain.  Today the trail is a popular trail for hiking and bicycling.
