Historical visit

Once you have reached all the slopes, you have only a few hundred meters down to the Emerald Mines – a perfect place to stop and have coffee and lunch – and perhaps look for the world's rarest gemstone.

On the way down to Minnesund right by the bridges you will find the Mjøs collections as well – here you can get the story of life and the boats on Lake Mjøsa.

To get down to Eidsvoll station you can take the shortest road, 11 km, on the west side of Vorma, via Trondheimsvegen and Eidsvollsvegen on National Bicycle Route 7. Choose the somewhat more hilly and longer road (Fv177), 14 km, on the east side of Vorma, you largely avoid the traffic noise from the E6.

Historic visit to the Eidsvolls building
On the way to the Eidsvoll building, you can choose to stop by Loftet gårdsbutikk which is located along Trondheimsvegen, take off to Hammerstadvegen and then take Hoelsvegen down to Loftet Gårdsbutikk – which was previously named one of the country's best farm shops – and if you have a little extra gunpowder left in the legs, there are also opportunities to turn to Eidsvoll 1814 to get a refill of the history that has shaped our democracy. You can also stop by Eidsvoll bygdetun on the way to Eidsvoll 1814.

If you need a night's sleep before you travel on because you want to experience more of what Eidsvoll has to offer, then take a night at Best Western Leto Arena so that you are ready for the next stage!

On the way back to Minnesund you can then take the trip via Eidsvoll Church, Wergelandshaugen, and read a little about the history of Eidsivating which celebrates 1000 years in 2022.

Then just cycle back to Minnesund – a tip is perhaps to take the west side road south on day 1 and then take the east side road back on day 2 – then you will experience both stretches!

Have a nice visit!

3. Bicycle tour at Romerike, Oslo Airport – Jessheim round trip

This tour will bring you from the airport at Gardermoen to Jessheim on a nice bicycle path. Feel free to return on a dirt road past idyllic Ljøgodttjern and historic Raknehaugen.

You will find very good facilities for bicycling between the airport at Gardermoen and the town of Jessheim.

The first thing you meet is a small park with benches and flowers, before the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins. It takes you safely out of the airport area and is well signposted all the way to Jessheim. The ride is easy with asphalt and just a few slopes. Even if you bicycle parallel to the road, there are longer distances with a view of open landscape.

In Jessheim there are restaurants, cafes and shops. The train stops here, and it is also possible to continue along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim's Route both north and south.

For a bit of variety, the return journey is partly on cozy dirt roads and stops at Ljøgodttjern with swimming opportunities. Raknehaugen is an old burial ground and is also worth a stop, before the return to Gardermoen. This tour returns to the bicycle parking lot at the airport.

Biking Hurum from farm to farm

The bike tour starts in Holmsbu, an idyllic village with a pier, restaurants, shops and a charming hotel. The tour goes up steeply past Holmsbu Church from 1887, decorated by Henrik Sørensen and other Holmsbu painters.

You then cycle to Sand Farm, which has a farm shop, bakery, café and activities all year round. Then you follow Granvoll Farm, with local honey, and Grønnsletta Farm, which offers its own lamb and pork, yarn and cheese.

At Kana the road becomes quieter. From here you can take a 3 km detour to Knatvoldstranda camping for a swimming stop. Alternatively, you continue to Bergsmyrene Farm, with a self-service shop and organic products.

A gravel road leads to Biffgården, where you will find meat products in a self-service shop and grazing cows. The route then goes up Jahrenveien, past Ravnsborg garden which has the most beautiful flowers, and further through farmland and forest.
