Dramatic Telemark, Long

Our longest tour proposal, so set aside the whole day, as there are lots of great things to see, stop and take in. The trip has one challenging section, from Momrak to Fjone. Here you also need to check the ferry times on the cable ferry that brings you across the strait.

It is recommended that the GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off for the route to be calculated as described.

First stage to Fyresdal. Just before Fyresdal, take the exit and 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 part of the tour is truly a gem. Here you ride in an incredibly beautiful landscape, ranging from high mountains to dramatic valleys. If you’re not smiling inside your helmet when you reach the end of the lake, or for the next few miles, you’ll never smile on an MC…. When you eventually get down to the main road towards Treungen, there will be a small stage of transport before you take off again on fantastic winding roads. The road rises dramatically alongside Fyresdal’s lake, before you descend and take a small road towards Fjone. It’s a toll road, but free for motorcycles. The road is surfaced with loose gravel, so you should have some experience with gravel, or take it easy at the pace you’re comfortable with. The road takes you over the mountain and down to Fjone. There, it’s a good idea to stop for a coffee at the café before the strange little cable ferry takes you across the strait. Then it’s a nice final stage to the hotel with great turn combinations towards the end.
