Geilo – Dokka

From Geilo I rode further to the east on Rv7. In Torpo I stopped to visit the stave church there.

Continued on Rv7 to a town called Gol. There I left the main road and climbed an insanely steep road to cross a 40km plateau to a place named Bagn. Near Bagn’s church was a thermometer: 31°C in the shade of a big tree at 6pm.

Bagn lies at the bottom of a deep valley that roughly goes from north to south. I came from the west and had to leave the valley to the east – another nice climb – to reach Rv33 that leads to Dokka. Near Dokka I visited a site with prehistoric rock carvings (petroglyphs) that are more than 6000 years old.

Total distance covered today: 135km
