From Ringnes Gård, before you reach Noresund, the route turns right towards Norefjell. This road is a toll road, but in return offers fantastic hairpin bends on good asphalt. Above the highest section here, there is a small stretch of gravel road, but this section has a good gravel surface and can be driven by everyone. Above Norefjell there are several great stops that are ideal for photo backdrops.
The trip continues down to the mountain village of Eggedal in Sigdal municipality. Eggedal is a well-known place for cabin enthusiasts in Eastern Norway. The village borders Trillemarka Nature Reserve, which is Norway's largest forest reserve. The well-known artists Christian Skredsvik and Teodor Kittelsen have their roots here, and their artist homes Lauvlia and Hagan are open for visits during the summer season. If you don't have too much gas in the tank, you can refuel in Eggedal.
We continue to the northwest and take in the beautiful bends on the way up to Haglebu. This is also a great cabin and camping area. Here you pass Haglebunatten, which measures 1278 meters above sea level. On days when it's not very hot, it can get a little chilly over the highest part here. The descent towards Nesbyen is airy and gives you a good view down towards Hallingdal. From Bromma, the journey towards Nesbyen continues a short distance on Riksvei 7, but in Nesbyen the journey continues through beautiful Rukkedalen. This village has only 300 inhabitants, but on the other hand, very nice nature. We are now approaching Tunhovd, which is also a well-known cottage area in Eastern Norway, but we turn off and drive Tunhovdvegen along Tunhovdfjorden and over the dam before starting the descent down to Rødberg. Along the road here you pass the entrance to Langedrag Nature Park where you can stop and see animals from the Norwegian fauna. It is important to note that if you want to visit Langedrag Naturpark, this is a fairly long gravel road with a steep incline.
The descent from the dam takes you down to Rødberg, where there is a large power station that generates electricity from the water from Tunhovdfjorden. The lunch menu at Rødberg Hotel is highly recommended.
After Rødberg, the tour continues down Nummedal to Lampeland, where we turn off towards Prestfoss and then onto County Road 191. Before we arrive in the center of Krøderen, we turn left and follow County Road 192 which takes you home to Ringnes gård on the west side of beautiful Krøderen.
