RouteXpert Review The Norwegian Fjords, worn by the moving glaciers, are simply breathtakingly beautiful. There are various fjords to visit in Norway, such as the Trollfjord, Lysefjord and Sognefjord and Geirangerfjord. In this route you cross the Hardangerfjord, Jøsenfjord and Lysefjord in succession.
In this route you will sail over the Lysefjord to Lysebotn, where the cornering party will begin! Via 27 hairpin bends you will come to Øygardstøl Fjellrestaurant, where you can enjoy the view over the Lysefjord while enjoying some goodies. Note: There is pebble in the parking lot!
Then it continues to Tjørhom, where the Suleskarvegen starts, this +/- 40 km long road has been awarded as Norway's most beautiful motor road. Even according to the Norwegians, this road is made for motorcyclists. TO ENJOY!
After a little less than 40 KM you turn into the Setesdalsvegen, this Riksvei 9 is a main connecting road in the south of Norway. The road runs from Kristiansand on the coast, through the Setes valley to Haukeligrend in the interior of Vestfold og Telemark. The total length of the road is 235.7 kilometers.
After 95 km you leave the Setesdalsvegen, and after the coffee stop you continue to the end point in Austbø, where you can quietly process the impressions you have acquired in the hotel.
In this 5-star route you mainly drive on good roads, great views and the most beautiful motor road in Norway.
General information:
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that tens of miles into the country, snow-covered high plains, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, the capital of which is Oslo.
Some practical tips:
Tolls must be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. For many routes that is temporary: in Norway the costs for new roads, bridges and tunnels are paid by tolls. When the construction costs are settled, the toll on that specific route is lifted again. Bergen, Oslo, Trondheim, Kristiansand and some other cities also charge (city) tolls.
It is not necessary to take action when staying in Norway. Anyone approaching a toll road can simply drive on without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the license plate of the trailer or caravan. It takes a long time for the photos to be processed.
The bill is then sent to the Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London within four to six months. There is no extra charge for this service.
Mandatory on the motorcycle:
Safety vest - A motorcyclist must bring at least one safety vest. In the event of a breakdown or accident, the driver is obliged to wear a safety vest. The ANWB advises motorcyclists to also bring a safety vest for a possible passenger.
Advice:
First aid kit - Motorcyclists are advised to bring a first aid kit.

About this region
Aust-Agder (Norwegian: [ˈæ̂ʉstˌɑɡdər] (listen), English: "East Agder") was a county (fylke) in Norway until 1 January 2020, when it was merged with Vest-Agder to form Agder county. In 2002, there were 102,945 inhabitants, which was 2.2% of Norway's population. Its area was 9,212 square kilometres (3,557 sq mi). The county's administrative center was the town of Arendal.
The county, located along the Skagerrak coast, extended from Gjernestangen at Risør to the Kvåsefjorden in Lillesand. The inner parts of the area included Setesdalsheiene and Austheiene. Most of the population lives near the coast; about 78% of the county's inhabitants live in the five coastal municipalities of Arendal, Grimstad, Lillesand, Tvedestrand, and Risør. The rest of the county is sparsely populated. Tourism is important, as Arendal and the other coastal towns are popular attractions.
The county includes the larger islands of Tromøya, Hisøya, Justøya, and Sandøya. The interior of the county encompasses the traditional district of Setesdal, through which the river Otra flows to the coast.
In 2017, the Parliament of Norway voted to merge Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder counties into one large region, Agder, effective 1 January 2020.The county was part of the Aust-Agder District Court and the Church of Norway Diocese of Agder og Telemark.

Route Collections in this region Top Car and Motorcycle tour through Sweden and Norway
Sweden and Norway are beautiful countries. You will find nice cities, but also impressive nature reserves. This versatility makes Sweden & Norway the perfect countries for an impressive motorcycle holiday.
In this collection 14 beautiful routes through Sweden & Norway.
Good preparation is half the battle, so read the tips below carefully.
1. Check the weather forecast. It can be very hot in Sweden & Norway, but it can also get very cold. Always check the weather forecast before you go, so that you can pack the right clothes.
2. Decide in advance which route or routes you want to follow. This way you don't drive around like a headless chicken and you can make the most of your days off in these beautiful countries.
3. Familiarize yourself with the traffic rules. In Sweden & Norway, in some situations, slightly different rules apply than in the Netherlands. By immersing yourself in the traffic rules, you prevent (unknowingly) committing a traffic violation and/or putting yourself in a dangerous situation.
It is also wise to book the accommodations in advance. It might be more fun to drive through these countries on spec, but you don't want to drive around endlessly to find a place to sleep. If you go to Sweden or Norway during the high season, the chance that you will have to look for a place to sleep is greatest. It is also possible to camp during your motorcycle trip, but find out in advance where this is and is not allowed. You are not allowed to pitch your tent everywhere.
As the largest country in Scandinavia, you can enjoy extensive tours in a unique environment. Forests, lakes, nature parks and agricultural areas largely determine the landscape, which also consists of flat areas and rolling hills. Around the Swedish-Norwegian border is the Scandinavian Highlands, where the mountains rise locally to 2100 meters.
Norway is known for its amazing natural beauty. Fjords that go into the country tens of kilometers deep, snow-covered plateaus, sharp mountain peaks and vast forests. In this sparsely populated country, most people live in the cities, of which the capital Oslo is the largest.
Tolls have to be paid on a large number of roads in Norway. If you approach a toll road, you can continue without stopping. With cameras above the road, the license plate of the vehicle is scanned, not the registration number of the trailer or caravan. It takes quite some time to process the photos.
The bill is then sent home within four to six months by Euro Parking Collection (EPC) in London.
