It starts with a wonderful experience along Vråvatn towards Dalen, stopping at Soria Moria Sauna or the adventure hotel Dalen Hotel before heading up the fun Eidsborgberget towards Høydalsmo, which is so much fun to drive. At the top of Eidsborgberget you'll find Vest-Telemark Museum and Eidsborg Stave Church. It's worth making a stop here. The stave church is one of Norway's smallest and is a living church, including a popular place for weddings. You'll meet bridal couples on the church hill almost every weekend in the summer. Here you'll also find one of the world's oldest wooden buildings and an activity park with a 105-meter-long model of the Telemark Canal. From Høydalsmo, it's a short distance on the main road before you turn off to Kviteseid via the village of Dalane. This is a much less busy road, with super curves through the nature of Telemark. When you arrive in Kviteseid, visit Kafe Hvidesøe before heading to the famous Kviteseidkleivene. There you'll have the opportunity to hone your driving technique on the countless bends before driving down to Vrådal for a good lunch, or enjoy a drink on the "afterdrive" terrace if the weather permits. And it often does in Vrådal.
If you're in a hurry and don't want to stop when you get back to Straand, it's a nice little extension if you continue south along Nisser, turn off towards Grova at Steane and continue over Fjågesundheia to Fjågesund and back along Kvitseidvatnet on the canal road. On the stretch from Grova to Fjågesund, the dampers get a good workout, but the reward comes from Fjågesund and westwards along Kvitseidavatnet and back up Kviteseidskleivene. Wonderful...
