Capital to Mountains Gravel Loop

If you’re craving an authentic gravel adventure off the beaten path, you’ve found your match. This meticulously planned route promises a truly immersive experience. Starting from the capital, Oslo, your journey kicks off in the serene Nordmarka woods, gradually leading you down to Hønefoss. Don’t forget to stock up on supplies before heading northwest along tranquil country roads, soon transitioning to rugged gravel paths.

Over the next 150 kilometers, you’ll meander through dirt tracks and unmarked roads, weaving amidst pristine forests, calm lakes, and vast highlands. This remote landscape offers a wilderness encounter unlike any other within a day’s journey from Oslo. As you ascend beyond 800 meters, expect the occasional sighting of mountain sheep and perhaps even a mighty moose as your only companions.
