This route can be driven both ways :-)

The road first takes you through a winding back road up to the national tourist route RV44 – and then over to Jøssingfjorden on SWINGING fantastic asphalt roads! Up in the mountains by the Jøssingfjord, there is a memorial at the parking lot overlooking the Jøssingfjord where the Altmark action took place in the weeks before the invasion of Norway on April 9, 1940. Many believe that the Altmark action, where British marines freed 300 British prisoners of war, was one of the reasons why Hitler took an interest in Norway “since Norway was not neutral at the time”. The British action was NOT cleared with Norway. After Jøssingfjorden, there are fairground roads via Åna Sira, up to Grand Hotel Flekkefjord.
