Stage 5:
Lysebotn – Sirdal
This stage is for adventurers. From Lysebotn up to Øygardstøl (Kjerag Trailhead) it is only 7.5 kilometres. But cyclists have to overcome a whopping 640 metres, spread over a dizzying 27 hairpin bends. One of the bends is halfway through a 1,000-metre-long tunnel. The climb does not end after the turns. Lysevegen Road over to Sirdal has its highest point 932 meters above sea level. The road is narrow, winding and with many hills, through a moon-like barren landscape. The road goes through the Setesdal Vesthei Ryfylkeheiane landscape conservation area, before it descends into the beautiful valley of Sirdal.
