The rest shelters by Mjølkevegen along the route are called "Mjølkerampe" in Norwegian, referring to the stands where milk buckets were placed to be collected by the passing milk vehicle. This one is located at Tvindehaugen, along Eidsbugardvegen. Enjoy your break, and please do not litter.

Nice little kiosk at the start of the route. One of the few places to get supplies. Please note that the kiosk is usually only open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in summer, so it's a good idea to plan accordingly.
