2. Near Jevnaker, on the way back
North of Jevnaker the long, narrow body of Randsfjorden reaches up into the hills, and this spot sits on its shores in the farming district of Hadeland. Randsfjorden is not a fjord at all but a freshwater lake, one of the biggest in Norway, some seventy kilometres long, filling a deep glacial trench between forested ridges. The water is clear, dark and quiet, with farms and small villages on the lower slopes and spruce forest above.

3. Food stop near Vikersund
Ski flyers have soared further at Vikersund than almost anywhere else. The giant hill above the village, Vikersundbakken, is one of the largest ski flying hills in the world and has seen several world records, with jumpers flying well over two hundred metres. Even in summer, the scale of the in-run and landing slope is astonishing, and the view from the top over the lake is spectacular.
