Røros - Femund Lake
This tour takes you to Femund, Norway’s 3rd largest lake, 662 metres above sea level, with spectacular scenery featuring virgin forest, mountain expanses, fishing lakes, rivers and streams. There is also plenty of countryside with little or no tourist traffic. You start in the old and unique mining-town Røros, which is listed on the UNESCO`s World Heritage List. It is one of very few preserved towns with wooden buildings. It thus is an excellent starting point for a bicycle tour. Røros industrial history is fascinating, as well as its numerous cultural treasures and magnificent nature.The ferryboat 'MS Fæmund' takes you and your bike from Sørvika to Jonasvoll, and from there it is easy biking to Johnsgård.
The next day you bike on asphalt road with little traffic, maybe you will be lucky enough to see a genuine 'Norwegian' reindeer! You will also experience the beautiful cultural landscape around Vingelen -- an agricultural district with many mountain summer farms and grazing animals along the roadside.
