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.

There are signs in town indicating a blue and a red route. The red one is just a bit steeper, but otherwise they're both equally difficult and challenging. As a precaution, we hiked the blue one first and couldn't tell the difference from the red one.
