Bicycle rental and tour proposals
Several bicycles can be rented out together with helmet, pannier and other tour equipment. You can also get tour proposals, maps and help for bicycle and luggage transportation on one-way-trips or multiday round trips. On the map on the right you will find tour suggestions for the Hovin area and other routes on more than 130 km forest tracks. The silent road fv 364 and the "Old Hovinway" are alternatives to the main norwegian bicycle route no. 5 "Numedal, Geilo-Kongsberg-Larvik". They also connect the Telemark route 30 to Kalhovd on the Hardangervidda.
