Spranget – 4 km round trip
A short walk along the fjord from Hindrum Fjordsenter following the old road before the Hindrem tunnel
A short walk along the old road
Spranget is an easy fjord-side walk of around 4 km round trip at Hindrum and Hindrem. The route follows the old road used before the Hindrem tunnel opened in 1963, offering a gentle walk with minimal elevation, fjord views and a clear piece of local transport history. If you are arriving by car, you can use the parking area for the Spranget trail.
This is a walk for those who want a peaceful outing without demanding terrain. Along the way you follow the landscape as people once had to move between farms, school, work and the fjord. That makes Spranget more than a short stroll — it is also a small reminder of how the road connected the villages before the tunnel took over the traffic.
