It is recommended that the GPS is set to select the fastest route and any avoidance turned off for the route to be calculated as described.

This 32-kilometer route has a medium level of difficulty and offers around 570 vertical meters. The surface is made up of both asphalt and gravel, which makes for a varied cycling experience. The tour is suitable for those with basic fitness who want a moderate challenge.

A moderately demanding tour that can be cycled both ways and combined and adapted depending on the destination you are cycling to or from. Some climbing at the start from Harestua, but primarily hard-packed gravel roads without much traffic. With an electric bike, the trip is medium-demanding. If you’re on a regular bike, it will probably be perceived as demanding at first due to the difference in altitude. You first cycle through some forest past Mylla and Svea, where there is a lovely bathing area, before coming to a beautiful area with summer farms and smallholdings. From here it’s all downhill until you cross the E16 and continue along quiet country roads to the old Lunner church. Here it’s worth taking a short break to enjoy the peace and quiet and the birds chirping before continuing north towards Granavollen. Granavollen offers many sights, so make sure you plan your trip so that you have time to visit Søsterkirkene, Telthuset, Glasslåven and Granavolden Gjæstgiveri.
