We left Bergen and took Norway’s National Cycle Route 4, including the famous Rallarvegen bike route, toward Oslo. This section of riding was sparsely populated and the scenery was some of the most stunning of our whole tour through Europe. After completing the Rallarvegen, we switched over to the National Cycle Route 5 (Numedal Route) to reach Oslo and the end of our 14 month, 11,877 mile journey around Europe.

Time frame: Late August to mid-September 2022

  1. Just found this. Great stuff. Just wanted to mention that as ong as you find running water i n Norway, there really is no need to filter it. Naturally running water in Norway is even better than our tap water, which is already the best anywhere in the world. Thought it'd be nice to know if you ever decide to come back for some more bikepacking, or for anyone out there making plans to come here 🙂

  2. Hello. I watched a lot of your videos especially the ones in Scotland (it seams it was a tough part of your trip) but this episode is really gorgeous ! Such beautifull landscapes !!! Thanks.
    By the way: You passed near my place (between Paris and Le Mont St Michel. 😉

  3. What a great way to see my country. I have never done anything like that myself!
    Note to other foreigners: we don’t always have blue sky and sunshine like in all these YouTube videos…
