The second stage takes you from Drammen to Kongsberg, following the Drammen River before heading into peaceful countryside with farms, forests and historic landmarks along the way.
Leaving Drammen, the route follows pleasant cycling paths along the river. A few kilometres before Mjøndalen, there is a short section shared with motor traffic before the route turns away from the valley and begins to climb. The ride through the rolling countryside is particularly enjoyable, passing farms and rural landscapes before a fast descent towards Vestfossen.
Vestfossen is a good place to stop for a meal or a coffee. The town is known for its contemporary art scene, while nearby Fossesholm Manor offers a glimpse into the region’s history.
The final section towards Kongsberg follows parts of the historic Silver Road, passing farmland, old bridges and small settlements. Kongsberg is famous for its silver mining heritage, with attractions including the Norwegian Mining Museum, Lågdals Museum and Kongsberg Church. The town offers accommodation, restaurants and cafés before the journey continues further into Telemark.
