The first leg is to Fyresdal and we recommend a stop at Hamaren Activity Park for a stroll through the popular and spectacular activity park and on into the medieval town of Øyskogen and the charming Folkestabyen. Drive back the way you came and then drive over to the west side of Fyresdalsvatn. Here you'll drive on beautiful roads along the lake, before turning off and climbing towards the road that will take you along Nesvatn.

This trip is truly a gem. You’ll drive through incredibly beautiful landscapes, ranging from high mountains to dramatic valleys and along the Telemark Canal. Anyone who doesn’t smile when driving along these lakes or the delightful climbs will never know the true joy of driving 😊 When you eventually get down to the main road towards Treungen, there will be a small stage of transportation before you take off again on fantastic winding roads. We recommend a stop at the Z Museum before driving on up to Gautefall. There are some nice straight stretches, before you descend to Bostrak and Sputnik’s museum, feel free to grab a waffle at Sputnik before continuing towards Grova and over Fjågesundsheia. The finish is a fantastic adventure route along the Telemark Canal and the finish up Kviteseidkleivene is pure driving pleasure. Enjoy the hairpin bends and feel the true joy of driving. Then it’s a nice final stage down to the hotel with great turn combinations towards the end. The car is parked and an afterdrive on the terrace in the sun is recommended.
