The first stage 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 village of Øyskogen and the charming Folkestabyen. Drive back to where you came from and then drive over to the west side of Fyresdalsvatn. Here you drive on beautiful roads along the lake, before turning off and climbing up towards the road that will take you along Nesvatn.

This tour is truly a gem. Here you drive through an incredibly beautiful landscape, ranging from high mountains, down into dramatic valleys and along the Telemark Canal. Anyone who doesn't smile when driving along these lakes or the wonderful climbs will never experience true driving pleasure 😊 When you eventually come 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 Z Museum before continuing up to Gautefall. There are some nice straight stretches before you reach Bostrak and Sputnik's museum after the descent, feel free to have a waffle at Sputnik before the journey continues towards Grova and over Fjågesundsheia. The end 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 last leg down to the hotel with great curve combinations towards the end. The car is parked and an afterdrive on the terrace in the sun is recommended.
