  4. Point of interest after 15.1 km

    Tunsbergtunnelen Length: 4080m Lighting: Yes Comments : Closed to cyclists. The cycle route just sticks to the old road, down or up the hairpins by the waterfalls, there are a few signposts for the cycle route, but they aren't completely clear. If heading south, there's a road sign to 'Seim'. Going north, there's a cycle-path sign to Voss, but someone's swivelled it round so it points 180-degrees in the wrong direction!. Alternative route : Use the old RV13 road through the valley.

    Point of interest after 73 km

    Børvenestunnelen Length: 1210m Lighting: ? Comments : A new tunnel closed to cyclists. Alternative route : Heading east-west, there's no signed alternative for cycles as far as I can see, but just sticking to the old fjord road which is signposted to Børve, but marked as a dead-end. It bypasses the tunnel without problems. There is a cycle-path sign at the west end of the tunnel.
