Numedal

There is a very attractive road up the Numedal to Geilo. The valley, with particularly fine scenery in its upper reaches, is traversed by the river Lågen, which rises in the central Hardangervidda. Leave Kongsberg on Road 40, going north. Beyond Flesberg (31km/20mi) the valley narrows. At Djupdal station (46km/29mi) the road crosses the river, here flowing through a deep gorge, and runs past the old church of Rollag and beyond this the Mykstufoss hydro-electric station.
