Cycle Norway across. From the Oslofjord on the eastside to Bergen on the westcoast.
Eastern Norway with the Oslofjord is the first part. We bike through large forest- and agricultural-areas and passing small lakes and rivers along the road. The next part is in to the mountains and the mountain plateau, Hardangervidda. After crossing the Hardangervidda we descend to the Fjordlandscape of the inland of Western Norway, with high mountains surrounding the Fjords. The last day we cycle all the way to Bergen, the second largest town in Norway, but with a small-town atmosphere.
In a few days you travel in totally different landscapes, each of them with their own fascination and beauty.

Our starting point is located directly on the Oslofjords eastside in Larkollen, about 70 km south of Oslo. We will cycle along the fjord on local roads before we cross the fjord with a ferry from Moss to Horten. From Horten we leave the fjord and enter agricultural areas heading towards the mountain areas.
From Kongsberg to Imingfjell we will experience the change of the landscape. At Imingen we are on the eastern border of the Hardangervidda mountain plateau, which we will cross over after cycling through different beautiful valleys.
After crossing Hardangervidda from Geilo we bike all the way from 1200 meter above sea level and enter the fjordlandscape and the fjord at level 0. Along the fjord we are surrounded by beautiful mountains.
