Ryfylkeveien mountain road between Sauda and Røldal
This
road was completed in 1960 as part of the development of hydro-electricity
projects in the area. Today it is an amazing trip by car or motor bike
over the mountains and part of the Ryfylkevegen and Fjordvegen tourist
routes. It is part of the FV 520 county road between
Sauda in Rogaland
county and Roldal in Hordaland county, in the Ryfylke area of west Norway. |

The
road is 41 kilometers long, and fairly narrow and winding, so it may take
a little longer than you expect to drive or ride it. In winter the road is closed between Breiborg (about 15 km from Sauda) and Røldal. There are many contrasts - lakes and waterfalls, wild mountains and snow banks in summer, small farms, woodland, rivers - and an amazing landscape to build a road through. Stop and see the Zinc mines (book in advance), complete with river walk and waterfalls - it is well worth it. Map reference: Rogaland Fylkeskart (scale 1:200 000): 3620 66240 By car: There are many ways to link this drive into your trip, with Sauda at the south west end and Røldal at the north east.
