Engeløya around Steigen is a beautiful route that takes you around the island of Engeløya. The course follows County Road 638, giving participants the chance to experience the fantastic nature and landscape that the island has to offer. The trip around the island is just over thirty kilometers, and the only noticeable uphill is at Mjeldskardet, where you ascend around fifty meters. Engeløya features both a war museum with Batterie Dietl and a one-kilometer-long sandy beach, Bøsanden, with an exceptionally beautiful location.
