Furulunden is a wonderful pearl in the heart of Mandal. Just about a km from the city, Furulunden offers great biking, jogging and walking trails in beautiful nature. The trails lead to various sandy beaches and coves around the peninsula. You can always find a beach in the sun, most shallow, well suited for small children, but some with platforms you can swim out to. You can picnic everywhere, or buy something at the cafe at Risørbanken, or just plukk a handfull of wild berries. The jogging trails are often covered with wood chips providing a soft surface, the bike trails are mostly flat and suited for everyone. If you are camping at Sjosanden, it’s a MUST. Take a morning jog or evening stroll.

Lenght: 36 kilometres - Level: Light. Start from the Tourist Information in the direction of the brigde, and take the road Marnarveien further on past Amfisenteret (shopping centre) at ovrebyen. Follow the old road on the west side of Mandal River. The river has allways been seen as one of the richest salmon river, and is today counted as one of Southern Norway`s best. Follow the river on good roads, until you get to Krossen in Holum. From here to oyslebo, you will be riding on gravel roads, which are preserved as it was originally built in 1860, lines with guard stones. Along the road you will find several great spots for fishing and bathing.
