The South coast of Norway
After leaving Oslo, we moved along the South coast of the country, where we had a few nice hikes planned. The first one was special indeed. Close to Larvik, you can hike along the "Tommerrenna", a disused timber slide, which was built in the 50s and used until 1981. It is the only one of its kind in Norway. Nowadays, you can hike the complete length of it, around 4km, mostly along a majestic river, crossing it various times on slightly swinging bridges with amazing views all around. You even have to go through a 100m long tunnel, pitch-black and dripping! Since this is a rather special path to trod, my human decided against a round trip and came back the same way instead. Although it is called a slide, there is hardly any incline, so the whole thing is very easy to do. Close-by, we found a very idyllic spot to park up for the night, right beside a beautiful lake. After a quiet night and some yoga on the jetty, we moved on to hike the small brother of the famous Preikes...
