From Rødberg, the route descends quickly through the valley, with the initial 10-12 kilometers in mixed traffic on county road 40. This part may be experienced as somewhat unsafe due to narrow road shoulders and some traffic in periods. Bus service covers the entire valley, so it is possible to avoid the stretch by bus between Rødberg and Nore.
We recommend you to visit Nore Stave Church before you continue on the road along the river in quiet surroundings. The surroundings are characterized by cultural landscape and the proximity to the river Numedalslågen. Numedal is also called the Medieval Valley and there are many old houses, storehouses and stave churches that make their mark on the trip.
After a quick trip on county road 40 again at Kravikfjord bridge, it will again be quiet, calm and rural. Now, some hills are awaiting, and with height comes views! In Veggli you can book a room, have dinner, do some shopping and try trolley driving on the old railway track. There is also a great picnic area down by the waterfall.
There are no cafés or restaurants until Veggli – only a grocery store at Nore.
This small stave church is dated to the year 1167 and is elaborately decorated inside.
Nice resting place by the waterfall close to Veggli, with several benches.
