Valley to valley

This route also takes you to Fyresdal, but the first stage runs on the east side of Vråvatn. This is a less busy road, at a slower pace through forest and cultural landscape. It's a small stretch of gravel road, but with a firm surface and not demanding. But drive wisely, at your own pace.

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.

After this stretch of local road, the road descends to Fyresdal and through. Here you get a fantastic ride along Fyresdal lake, where the road rises and falls dramatically, ending up many meters above the surface of the water, with unique views of magnificent mountains.

Then descend in gentle curves down to the main road to Treungen. Follow this road for a short distance up to Treungen, and turn off to Drangedal. The road takes you up into high mountain terrain and you pass Gautefall, which many people associate with snow and skiing. However, the Gautefall area is an eldorado for experiences in the summer too. The local hiking team has signposted, marked and facilitated both hiking and trail bike routes in the area. The "Kingdom of Heaven" is particularly beautiful, and rightly so!

From Bostrak you drive on some of the wonderful roads that characterize Telemark, and in Grova you turn off towards Fjågesund. This is really a gem of a road, lots of great and varied curves. This goes on and on until you reach the "charmer stage", up the famous Kviteseidkleivene. Here you get to put your cornering skills to the test, and is a great end to the trip, before the "after-bike" on the hotel's terrace.
