Great charming trip where you can look for the sea serpent in Seljord and drive some gravel for those who want it. Many people have cars that really belong on gravel roads, so this is a great trip. Local gas stations delivering 98 octane

Check out the Norwegian-developed app Refuel provided by AMCAR in collaboration with High Octane AS for iOS and Android phones.

The tour starts from Straand Hotel and down Kviteseidkleivene to Seljord, where you can stop at Sjøromtårnet to look for the famous sea serpent before continuing along Garvikstrondi.
This is a beautiful winding road along the water.
Halfway along the water, there is a road to Kilen, which is made of gravel and is reminiscent of the road standard in the old days.
From Kilen, it’s a fantastic trip along the Telemark Canal, where there are plenty of opportunities for cozy stops to enjoy life.
Perhaps the canal boats Victoria or Henrik Ibsen will sail past?
We recommend a stop at Kviteseid Bygdetun before heading up the hairpin bends that we came down at the start of the route.
It is also possible to drive from Fjågesund and over to Grova and on to Steane and Straand Hotel that way.
It’s also possible to do this loop as an extra lap if you want to take an afternoon trip.
There are plenty of options for combining these loops, so just choose the one that suits you best.
On this tour, you may want to bring food from the hotel so that you have full flexibility to enjoy a delicious meal in the open air along the beautiful route. Have a good trip!
