It is recommended that GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off in order for the route to be calculated as described.
Route 2 is a great all-day route for exercisers and perhaps best suited as a training session for the pros.
The route is hilly and fun to drive, offering about 800 meters of altitude in 107 km. So you're guaranteed to get a workout. The route has a nice warm-up stage down to Steane, where you get a good climb up to the top before descending into a beautiful and idyllic valley before reaching Grova. From here you drive through the beautiful valley in slightly hilly and winding terrain down to Bostrak where you turn right onto the Fv358 towards Gautefall and Treungen. In Bostrak you can also stop by Sputnik, he has his own small museum there with some simple refreshments as well.
From Bostrak and up to Gautefall, you can enjoy varied and fine driving in somewhat hilly and winding terrain before reaching Gautefall. From Gautefall, the descent to Treungen starts. Here there is a section where you can reach quite high speeds. But remember that you should not "win anything" on this trip, so "SAFETY FIRST". In Treungen, it's a good idea to stop for a waffle and a cup of coffee before pedaling the last 40 km back to Straand Hotel in Vrådal. The last stage along Nisser is nothing less than a beautiful stage and on this stage you will, depending on your pace, wash the climbs and kilometers out of your legs so that you are ready for the next day's stage.
Have a great trip!
