Eksingedalen Loop
The Bergen-Voss region boasts stunning landscapes, characterized by deep valleys and pristine rivers. While the main E16 road traverses this area, cycling is not recommended due to heavy traffic and long tunnels. However, departing from Voss, cyclists can explore a network of side roads that offer breathtaking views. Among these routes, Eksingedalen stands out as a particularly beautiful and secluded valley, tucked away from the bustling main valleys leading to Bergen. For those seeking a one or two-day cycling adventure near Bergen, exploring this remarkable area is highly recommended. Additionally, for a more extended journey, cyclists can consider combining the Bergen-Voss route with a scenic tour via Hardanger Fjord, creating a memorable two to four-day trip. This route is also part of the much larger National Cycle Route 6

Routes are created using careful research, but every cyclist has different abilities, expectations, and risk tolerance. Some routes may include hike-a-bike sections, muddy or wet hiking paths, technical terrain, steep climbs, descents, or remote areas that may not be suitable for everyone. Route data, mapping software, and conditions can also change or contain inaccuracies. Cycling in Norway is generally very safe. Nevertheless, if you choose to ride these routes, you do so at your own risk.
