Driving route and directions
Wondering how long it takes to drive from one place to another? Then these pages can help you:
Road standard
The entire national park route runs along an asphalt road. Some stretches are winding and narrow, but offer even better views and nature experiences!
Tolls and toll roads
There are no tolls or toll roads on the national park route itself, but if you take detours on dirt roads, you must expect to pay tolls in cash. There are only a few places where you can pay by card. The fee is from NOK 30 and up. That's why it's always a good idea to have some coins for this in the car.
