Highlight • Monument

Vanse obviously lives and loves Route 8 🇺🇸. This is quickly apparent in the small town centers… they even have a “little Brooklyn Bridge.”

Swing Bridge at Bøensbakken

Highlight • Bridge

Nice Brigde 🙌🏻😊 Perfect for Gravel and MTB, but also ok for Roadbike.

Tip by

Beautiful gravel segment with nice views of the lake and surrounding area. When you come from Kvinesdal, take to the right before the tunnel and follow the signs. You will get this nice detour instead of the tunnel.
