The three lakes

A route that takes you around 3 large lakes, via some incredibly beautiful roads. The first stage is familiar to many, as it runs alongside Vrådal lake, with beautiful bends and friendly landscapes. Then you turn off and down to Fyresdal. The road continues on the eastern side of Fyresdalvatn, through magnificent landscapes, and takes you many meters above the surface of the water in a dramatic way. Here you really get to experience a magnificent landscape.

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.

When you get to the south end of the lake, there are still many bends left before you get onto the main road and head up to Treungen. A bit of transportation, but good to "stretch your legs" a little.

When you arrive in Treungen, we recommend a visit to the fantastic motor museum “Z”. Here you’ll find a unique collection of cars, motorcycles and much more. A real hidden gem.

After visiting “Z”, a break on the other side of the bridge is also worth a stop, where you can sit on the quayside and take in the magnificent Telemark nature. From Treungen you have a great trip ahead of you up to Vrådal. The road runs alongside the water all the way, with long and clear bends.

If you do the trip without any particular stops, this can be a great trip before or after lunch, but we recommend making stops along the way, and preferably making this a full-day trip as there is a lot to see along the way.

If you make a stop in the center of Fyresdal, we recommend a stroll through the popular and spectacular Hamaren Activity Park and further into the medieval town of Øyskogen and the charming Folkestabyen.
