Description
Great roundtrip, but expect some climbing in the start. E-bike would be an advantage. If you choose to start your ride from Ulsåk/Torset you will be rewarded with a great view of the waterfall Hydnefossen along Hødnsvegen. Continue straight to the toll station and make the climb towards Krosstølane where you will pass old summer farms and idyllic landscape. From Grønlio you follow the rough gravel road along the river back to the toll station and if you need a break the dam Eikredammen is a beautiful spot to enjoy lunch with a view. Here you will also be able to find facilities with opportunities for a toilet break, a large parking space and the lovely waters contained by the dam.
Take a walk across the dam and if you are lucky, get to see it empty out into the ongoing river on the underside of the dam.
