Family-friendly route with both path and gravel road. There is a nice rest area at a cozy gamme built by the school. Footpath to Rjukandefossen, a beautiful nature reserve, features a great swimming area and an exciting suspension bridge (there is also an outhouse). At the waterfall, it is recommended to eat your packed lunch.
From Venåsen, you can continue to Bjøberg/Lærdal on Kongevegen, or cycle back along Rv 52 and further on the Dal route or Grøndals route.
Rjukandefossen is one of Hemsedal's best-known attractions and is just a short walk away with this cycling route. The swimming area is prepared for nice and safe swimming, but this should be assessed depending on the water current.
This is originally a route that doesn't take very long, but with a stop at the beautiful waterfall, it becomes a ride worth trying. The climb from Rjukandefossen and further up is regularly steep and suitable for anyone.
