If someone are interested in biking in Norway, I just did the Villmarksvegen from Trysil to Halden.
> I had an impromptu biking trip this year’s Ascension Day, I knew that I had four days with no plans, and with a bad elbow I couldn’t join my friends climbing. So the weekend before the trip I started searching for routes. I’ve looked at Finnskogen several times before, and this time I wanted to finally get an overnight in that huge forested area bordering Norway and Sweden. While I was looking at trips in Finnmarkskogen I found the national cycling route number 9, that went thought most of that area, plus some more. I’ve known about the national cycling routes for a long time, but haven’t really thought much about them, as they all require a lot of transport to get to the start. So I thought, why not?

It looks absolutely amazing, how was the weather though? Were you able to camp without freezing? I’m from France and not really familiar with the Norwegian climate at this time of the year 🙂
Looks like a great route! I will be touring in Norway this summer. Do you have any recommendation to continue from Trysil up north?
