We had to go to Norway to pick up our new male kitten north from Oslo and decided to make a small holiday of it.
It was 2 years since our last time we were in Norway and we needed to have a break too.
It was a gorgeous time...beautifull weather and a lovely little house for 5 nights at Rauland Høyfjellshotell and hytter
on the right map you just see Hønefoss above right
In Åmot we took road 267 to Kolsrud and from there we took a small road to Lampeland in the Numedal.
It was a nice and friendly landscape and beautifull autumncolours.
On the maps you can find the roads and places mentioned. You can enlarge them by clicking on them.
Rauland hytter you see where the star is on the left map ( go from Rjukan to the south-west)

We made a roundtour around the lake Totak ( E134 and way 362). The E134 leads from Oslo to Haugesund on the west coast,
is an important route , but far from a highway.
Today the sunrise was even more beautifull than yesterday. This is the sunrise from the first photo above.
And again it was a beautifull sunny day.
From Raulands fjellhytter to Rjukan and then over the fjellroad to Sauland ( E134) and from Nutheim the smaller road back to Rauland.
Tour 3.......wednesday 19th
The route is road 38 to Dalen in the south, and from there road 45 to the Setesdal. Then to Haukeligrend and the E134 eastwards
and road 37 back to Rauland.
Tour 4.......thursday 20th
This morning it was dark and a bit rainy. So we cancelled the plan to go to Numedal and the fjellstation Langedrag to see the lynxes there.
It would have been a trip of more than 300 kilometers.
We decided to go to Rjukan instead and do some shopping. But we never arrived there; the road was a bit slippery
and to reach Rjukan we had to take many and steep S-curves. It was to risky without wintertires.
We went back and did the shopping in the town south of Rauland and Rauland itself ( not very interesting shops however)
Today we could have gone to a museum, but they all were closed. Only the paintings in the hotell,
eg. from Dyre Vaa, could be seen. They are a bit type of Munch paintings and also from that period.
