Part of Kongevegen: this was completed in 1793 as the first road between eastern and western Norway that could be traveled by horse and cart. Today you can hike on the Kongevegen.

Hiking

Be careful – in winter, there can be a thick layer of ice on the switchbacks – dangerous slippery slopes! However, you can also channel your inner child, sit on your butt, and carefully slide a little. This significantly increases the fun factor of this route. Have fun!
