Hellandsbygdvegen Scenic View

English below
Komoot reports "loose ground" on this part of Hellandsbygdvegen, which fortunately is not the case. The road is completely paved, but in extremely poor condition, even for the region. Everything is included about bumps, small potholes, asphalt cracks and split in curves. However, the whole thing remains reasonably easy to ride on a racing bike and the views are fantastic. Overall, the Hellandsbygdvegen is highly recommended. The western ascent is also in very good condition in terms of surface. If you want to be fast on the descent, it is better to head west, you probably have a nicer view to the east. As an alternative, Komoot recommends racing cyclists to take a northwestern hiking trail through the high mountains, which we can only advise against.Komoot marks this part of the Hellandsbygdvegen as loose gravel, which is untrue. The entire road is fully tarmaced but in poor condition, even compared to other mountain roads in the area. The road is pretty bumpy, has a few potholes, plenty of cracks and some gravel on the tarmac but remains pretty rideable for road bikes. The views are fantastic as well, all in all the Hellandsbygdvegen is an amazing road to ride. The surface on the western slopes are much better too, if you want to go fast it's better to go east to west, but the better views are probably on the ride west to east. Komoot recommends to take your roadbike on a hiking trail slightly to the north-west instead, don't do that.
