Hvitsten is a route that starts with lazy, beautiful bends along Øyeren in a rural setting. On the way down towards Petter Solberg's home town of Spydeberg, you can enjoy hundreds of lazy bends before starting the fairground section that takes you through a little adventure you never knew existed in the capital's backyard.
Hvitsten is a journey through all that central Eastern Norway has to offer. The route starts in urban areas on the road towards Lillestrøm, and on this stretch you'll have plenty of opportunities to refuel or buy supplies for the day. The ride along Øyern is relaxing with lots of visual impressions and nice lazy bends. The speed is not high, but you are encouraged to enjoy it. Eventually, the bends get tighter as you head towards Spydeberg, and when you cross the E18 towards Hobøl and Kroer, a smile will creep up inside your helmet.
The bends are tight and demanding, taking you through terrain that requires your full attention. On the way to Hvitsten, you can choose to drive past Son, one of the pearls of the Oslofjord. Here you'll find great dining and recreational opportunities before heading on to Hvitsten and Drøbak, which are just as charming and full of life in the summer. When you arrive at Hvitsten, we recommend that you follow Hvitstenveien and Galbyveien to Drøbak.
Drøbak has a lot to offer, so it may be a good idea to do a little research before departure. The road from here via Fagerstrand on Nesodden, Vinterbro and Mosseveien offers new driving highlights and contributes to an absolutely fantastic and eventful driving day. Back at Losby, you can enjoy top service, refreshments and a good meal on the outdoor terrace with new or old friends while you plan your next driving days in the county.
