Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου στο Τέλεμαρκ

The parking costs 150 NOK for 24 hours. Ideal for an overnight stay in a motorhome. The shuttle bus to the cable car costs 50 NOK. From here you can access the trailhead to the Hulderhola cave and can find a restaurant right beside the parking.

Skien is one of Norway's oldest cities, dating back to the Middle Ages. It's famously the birthplace of renowned playwright Henrik Ibsen, and you can explore his childhood home, now a museum. Skien is also known as the starting point of the scenic Telemark Canal, a historic waterway with a spectacular system of locks. Historically a center for seafaring and timber exports, it now boasts a blend of urban life with pedestrian streets, green spaces, and a vibrant cultural scene.

Beware. This parking lot will cost you an arm and a leg! We were there at 8:30…. Parking until 12:00 was 300 kroner, and after 12:00 another 300. No middle ground, no way to pay for the actual time you are parked there. Paid 600, but I am absolutely furious. What a dirty rip-off!

Glass of perfect sider for the road

A famous landmark in the area, this was the first 'garrison church' in Norway, which housed members of the navy working in the nearby shipyard.

A lovely secluded bay with a good view of the small fishing harbour, complete with a very well-placed bench to take a rest.

Small but pretty harbour mostly used by fishing boats. A peaceful and calm place to stop for refreshments.

Great view from the bridge, which has a segregated cycle lane and is lit at night.
