View of Nærøydalen Valley from Stalheimskleiva

I had to turn around though because the road was closed (I was stubborn first but it didn't work) :D

The Stalheimskleiva has been open to hikers and cyclists for a while now. Cycled up a few days ago, definitely worth it! It wasn't very busy, but given the gradient and the hikers I wouldn't cycle down the pass. You go up about as fast as the hikers and that's quite nice. Received enough encouragement in any case.

The road is definitely closed until at least 2025. We've tried to get through with the bikes, but it's being built and no exceptions are being made. The site manager suggested that the road may never be opened to bicycles again. Maybe a viewing platform will be built. All cyclists have to go through the two tunnels, which are now also open to cyclists. Signs have even been set up for motorists (caution cyclists).
