Lysebotn Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

This steep spiral tunnel cannot be bypassed.
Cons: practically unlit, steep on the ascent (accordingly the wheel dynamo does not work at full speed), long, narrow
Positive: only a car now and then

Norwegian dream landscape on narrow road with decent altitude gain. Fantastic views of streams and lakes, embedded in tundra-like landscape. Caution: Even on the narrowest roads, large trucks can come barreling down, albeit rarely.
