Hunderfossen - Fåberg

The Road Museum has a large museum park with road systems, facilities, machines and older buildings, such as a bus station, workshop and gas station.
Here you’ll also find the Norwegian Vehicle History Museum with an extensive collection of cars, motorcycles, mopeds and pedal cycles.
You’ll then drive straight over to Hunderfossen Adventure Park, one of Norway’s biggest tourist attractions with more than 60 attractions and sights.
Ivo Caprino’s work is a recurring theme in the park.
The large troll houses a hall with several fairytale tableaux from Asbjørnsen and Moe’s Norwegian folk tales. On the hillside behind the park is Northern Europe’s only artificially frozen bobsleigh and toboggan run.
Built for the 1994 Olympics, the 1.7 km long facility is still in full operation.
It is also open to the public in the summer, with a wheeled bobsleigh that takes the family safely down the winding track at full speed!
From the bobsleigh track, the route runs about 7 km south on asphalt until you drive over Lågen and into Fåberg.
At the top of the hill, turn left onto Thomas Jørstads veg, where you’ll see signs for the pilgrimage route to Nidaros.
Soon you’ll be on Gudbrandsdalsvegen, which you follow all the way back to Øyer town center.
Here you may experience traffic with cabin owners who are looking forward to getting to the mountains, so take advantage of the opportunities to avoid traffic, such as Anderstuguvegen.
Keep right after passing Hafjell Alpinsenter and follow signs for Nermo hotel.
There is a pleasant gravel footpath and cycle path up to the hotel.
If you’re cycling with children, you may want to end your trip in Lilleputthammer in the center of Øyer before rounding up to the hotel.
Lilleputthammer is a fun family park for the little ones. Alternatives: If you’ve had enough of Hunderfossen Adventure Park or you want to shorten this trip, you can cycle over the seven meter high dam and Hunderfossen itself.
The dam is 300 meters long and has pedestrian and cycle paths.
The waterfall is used for power generation.
A fish ladder has been built next to the waterfall.
Then you cycle under the E6 and connect to Gudbrandsdalsvegen and the route back to the hotel there.
This makes the trip about 10 km.
If the family park is the goal and motivation for the younger ones, you can alternatively take the trip in the opposite direction so that the fun comes towards the end of the trip.
If you really want to experience the attractions along this trail, it can quickly become a day trip whether you choose the short or the long variant.
