One of Norway’s best‑preserved stave churches; the site is accessible in winter though some visitor facilities may have reduced hours (site usually open).
Expect 6–8 hours depending on ferry connections and road/weather conditions; this southbound leg crosses fjords and varied terrain — plan extra time for winter travel.
About 1 hour drive; in winter the trail can be icy and snowy — only attempt if you have proper gear or join a guided winter hike (trail open but conditions vary).
If conditions permit, the hike offers spectacular views over Lysefjord; otherwise enjoy nearby viewpoints or short walks from the trailhead (allow 3–4h for hike).
Approximately 3.5–4.5 hour drive down the coast; winter evening driving recommended only when roads are clear — consider overnight stays en route if conditions are poor.
If your schedule allows, enjoy panoramic views over Oslo from Ekebergrestauranten or waterfront dining at Aker Brygge; check opening hours (lunch service usually midday).
