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.
Treungen is in itself very nice and here you will also find the legendary Z museum, which has fun exhibitions from the 1900s onwards. Here you'll find all the technology you remember from your childhood, so this can be a journey into nostalgia. On the return trip, you'll also have the opportunity to experience the amazing Fjone ferry, which is pulled across by a cable (NB: check the timetable before departure).
Route 8 is a great time trial route for the pros and a wonderful hiking experience for exercisers. This hike is also a great recovery hike for those who may have had a slightly harder hike the day before. It's fantastic to start the hike in Vrådal in the beautiful morning sun reflecting off the mountains in the still water. The hike down to Treungen is slightly hilly and alternates between walking along the water and open, well-tended forest areas. On the way to Treungen, you can refuel in Nordbygda or Kyrkjebygdi, which are located halfway down the road to Treungen. In Treungen you have the opportunity to find waffles and coffee or visit the Z museum, which we highly recommend. Here you can also get simple refreshments. From here, the road heads north along the west side of Nisser in a varied and pleasant terrain. The road winds through forest and agricultural land, but you can always enjoy the beautiful view of Nisser. The road from Fjone to the cable ferry at Sundåsen is nothing short of charming and everyone finds the trip across Nisser with the cable ferry a highlight. From here you have a very pleasant, charming drive back to Vrådal and the roof terrace that awaits you with friendly people and well-deserved refreshments.
