outdoors’ recreational activities. The coast along the Oslo fjord,
the countryside and vast forest areas all offer exciting outdoors’
experiences. And – all of this is located in close proximity to the
nation’s capital. Some of this the riders and spectators will get to
experience during the first stage of the race.
Tour of Norway - welcome to the bicycle county of Akershus!
Anette Solli
County mayor
It is with great pleasure that I welcome all participants and
partners in the Tour of Norway competition to the county of
Akershus.
Akershus is a county of big contrasts, and it is currently
experiencing substantial growth. Although it is one of Norway’s
smallest counties in terms of geographical extension, it is one
of the biggest in terms of population. It comprises some of the
leading technological resource centres, research institutions,
consulting firms and companies in the country, as well as Norway’s
main airport Gardermoen.
At the same time Akershus is the biggest producer of grain in
Norway, with rich natural resources and endless possibilities for
ØSTFOLD
Welcome to Østfold!
Even though Østfold is the second smallest county in Norway,
we like to call our region “compact and complete”. Everything is
reached within an hour or so by car. Østfold is a region with a
diverse nature – rivers, quiet lakes and forests in the inland, and a
beautiful coastline that attracts a great number of tourists every
summer. Østfold is the gateway to Norway – and is actually your
first meeting with the Norwegian fjords, as you cross the border
from Sweden over Svinesund.
We like to call Østfold both “the gateway to Norway” and “The
gateway to Europe”. Because of our central location between the
capitol Oslo and the Swedish border, we are also close to Europe
and EU. You will se a lot of Østfold while you’re here. Most people
prefer to see our county by car, which can be practical, due to the
distances. But as mentioned earlier, Østfold is a compact county.
By seeing from your bikes, you will see a lot more. You will travel
from the sea into the woods, and back. You will hear seabirds and
city noise, and then, maybe just an hour later, experience the
calmness of inner Østfold. Beware of the moose!
Once again – welcome! We hope to see you again!
Ole Haabeth
County mayor

BUSKERUD
Welcome to Buskerud!
climbing, hiking, fishing and not to forget; cycling. Our ski resorts
offer exciting tracks for downhill cycling, and if you want to go
inside the mountain there are opportunities for joining mine
safaris in old cobalt and silver mines.
It`s a great pleasure for me to welcome cyclists, collaboration
partners and guests to our county. This race has become a joyful
recurrence in Buskerud, but the 2015 edition of Tour of Norway is
very special to us because this year`s race will utilize larger parts
of our county. The race´s journey will take us through valleys and
villages encircled by spectacular mountains in the north-west, as
well as urban areas by the coastline of the Oslo Fjord in the southeast. Both racers and guests will really experience what Buskerud
has to offer, and I truly appreciate that.
We are proud that Buskerud has opportunities for everyone, and
it is therefore a great honour for me as Chairman of the County
Council of Buskerud to see our county as an arena for this race.
Good luck to all of you!
A steadily increasing number of people discover the great
opportutunities of Buskerud both as a region to visit as well as
to live the Good Life. The urban areas in the south experience
the fastest growth in the country. In the north of the county we
find Norway´s biggest tourist region with major ski destinations
visited by a lot of international guests during the season. We are
also pround of our innovative businesses and clusters in various
sectors; hi-tech, subsea, bio-economy and health. Buskerud
attracts both talents and investments to a thriving business life.
Morten Eriksrød
County mayor
From the Oslo Fjord to the mountain plateau of Hardangervidda,
Buskerud comprises the best of Norwegian scenery. During the
summer season there are great possibilities for water sports,
TELEMARK
Welcome to Telemark!
seat or on board one of the nostalgic canal boats. Get your
adrenalin kick at the Mountain-bike Park in Vrådal, or cycle on the
Hardangervidda, North Europe largest mountain plateau- you can
also take Krossobannen to the top.
One destination. Thousand opportunities.
«Norway in miniature» is a well-known and often used description
of Telemark. Why? Telemark has it all! Here you can enjoy Norway’s
amazing and diverse nature - from the beautiful coastline to the
majestic mountains – within short distances. However, there is
nothing miniature like when it comes to your Telemark experiences
– on the contrary.
Besides the great nature and the fun activities, Telemark is also
known for its history. Get an insight in Henrik Ibsen´s world at
his childhood home at Venstøp in Skien or learn more about
the fascinating industrial History at Notodden and Rjukan that
brought Telemark on Unesco’s tentative world heritage list.
Explore the maritime museum and science centre, Du Verden- the
children will be fascinated. For a customized Telemark-holiday get
in touch with Visit Telemark.
Telemark is the ideal place for combining wonderful nature with
fun activities for both adults and children. Start your adventure
with a RIB- trip on the Kragerø-archipelago, or just enjoy a relaxing
canoe trip on Møsvatn-lake. Don’t forget your swimming suite, you
might want to jump into the sea or swim in the amazing natural
waterpark in Nissedal. If you are a hike-enthusiast, we recommend
Southern Norway´s largest mountain Gaustatoppen, or a cruise
on the Telemark Canal-here are also good fishing opportunities.
Terje Riis-Johansen
County mayor
Take a break in the heart of Telemark and spoil yourself with some
local made bakeries, local apple juice or maybe local winetasting.
Further visit also Bø Sommarland or the new Høyt & Lavt Climbing
Park is not so far away - the children will totally love it. Telemark is
recognized as Norway’s largest bike region, with hundreds of km of
bike trails. Our huge variety of cycle paths cover everything from
national routes (1and )2 along Telemark coastline and Telemark
Canal to forest rides, mountain bike, downhill and off-road cycling.
Explore the magic scenery along Telemarks Canal from the bike

Sarpsborg
Nes
and has been important since Viking times. The well-preserved
ruins of the old church are what remains of the church built in the
1100’s.
Centrally located, near Oslo and the country’s main airport, is
one of the largest agricultural municipalities in Norway, Nes. The
countryside here has been cultivated for generations and the
area is often referred to as ”The Nordic Tuscany”. This is where
Norway’s two largest rivers, the Glomma and the Vorma, meet,
giving rich opportunities for fishing, bathing and recreation.
Further south along the river Glomma is the old farm Store Hvam.
This was one of the richest farms in the larger area of Romerike
and its history can be traced back for many generations. People
have farmed here for 1500 years. North along the Vorma we find
the lock at Svanefoss, enabling boats to travel from the rivers up
to the great lake, Mjøsa.
The central town of the area, Årnes, was established with the
building of the railway line to Stockholm in the 1860’s. About
4,000 people now live in Årnes and the area has a total population
of 21,000. Both the town and the municipality are growing rapidly
and a large increase in the population is expected in the years to
come.
Stein school, or The Fairytale School, as it is called, is beautifully
and playfully decorated by some of Norway’s foremost artists
in the 1930’s. The school was greatly influenced by Henrik
Wergeland, a leading pioneer in the development of Norwegian
literature and culture. In the school we find the artist Reidar
Aulie’s painting of Henrik Wergeland on his horse.
A large number of people commute to Oslo, Lillestrøm and Jessheim,
as well as the national airport at Gardemoen for work. Agriculture
is the largest industry in the area and there is a growing focus on
green industry with the construction of one of Europe’s largest
plants for the production of biogas from household waste.
In adition to boating on the rivers, the great forests which stretch
toward the Swedish border provide almost unlimited possibilities
for camping and canoing with their numerous lakes both large and
small. The Halden watercourse and channel systems along the
Swedish border start in this area. Nes also has two 18 hole golf
courses, one at Hvam and the other at Vormsund.
There are many sports and cultural activities in Nes. Possibilities
are many, the activity level is high and we have many talented
people. For instance we can mention that 3 of the 4 on this year’s
winning relay team in the junior World Skiing Chapionships came
from Nes.
Welcome to Nes!
On the headland where the two large rivers meet stand the ruins
of Nes church. This headland has given the area its name Nes,

Sarpsborg
Sarpsborg has 54 000 inhabitants and is the tenth largest
Norwegian city. It´s centrally located in the heart of Østfold, with
good communication links to Europe and the rest of Norway.
Sarpsborg is rich on culture, sports and history. We look forward to
welcoming Tour of Norway to our city of optimism, vitality, growth
and change.
We have growing businesses, great living facilities and beautiful
scenic surroundings both by the coast and in the inland. We also
have the largest waterfall in North of Europe, measured in water
flow.
Welcome to Sarpsborg!
Sarpsborg is founded by St. Olav and thus the country´s third
oldest. In 2016 we will celebrate our millennial birthday by hosting
a yearlong jubilee, highlighting everything from our Viking past to
our promising future.

Drammen
The Drammen region offers an abundant package of experiences
within comfortable distances. Here you will find an exciting
combination of both urban and green experiences. Do it all on the
same day − or even on the same afternoon. You will be astonished
at everything that we have to offer.
We welcome Tour of Norway 2015 to the river city of Drammen.
Drammen offers an excellent salmon river with pleasure cruising,
nice beaches and idyllic sea fronts. A many- sided cultural life
with the most beautiful theatre building in Norway. A prizewinning main square with lively street life. Walking trails in almost
unspoiled nature and a great panoramic view from the Spiral Top.
Try combining a city trip in dynamic Drammen with a wilderness
expedition, or a round of golf in a picturesque cultural landscape.
Or you can take a chance on a ravine expedition or high ski jumps
on the slopes.
Drammen is located 40 kilometers west of Oslo. Drammen has
more than 64,000 inhabitants, but the city serves as a regional
centre for an area with a population of about 150,000.
Lakes, rivers and a long coastline with 286 kilometres of river- and
waterfronts await you, with swimming, sailing, fishing and other
exciting water activities.
The city of Drammen was founded in 1811 as the two towns of
Strømsø and Bragernes were united. The city shield was originally
created in 1715. It says ”In fide et justitia fortitudo” (From faith
and justice comes strength).
The central location of the Drammen region and its accessibility
make it easy for you to come visit.
The total area of Drammen is 145.2 square kilometres, including
9.5 square kilometres of lakes and rivers, 15.8 square kilometres
of farming land and 89.9 square kilometres of forest.
Drammen is a city of diversity and 20 percent of the population
have immigrant background, a fact which leaves its colorful mark
on the cityscape.

Langesund
Langesund offers a perfect blend of active days, hiking along the
coastal path, island hopping, bike rides, and lazy days on one of
the many beaches. Cyclists flock to the city for an ice cream break
on the pier as a natural highlight.
At Bamble municipality, with no less than three bicycle clubs, we
are looking forward to a fast-paced finish in the sprint leg of the
Tour of Norway on Thursday May 21.
Welcome to Langesund, a coastal gem at the edge of the
Telemark coast. With the most sunny days a year, Langesund is
an established tourist resort, bustling with life and a number of
festivals throughout the summer, such as Fishing Festival, Garden
Festival, Shanty Festival and the International Youth Film Festival,
to name a few. The well-known outdoor stage Wrightegaarden
is a rallying point, frequently visited by major international and
Norwegian stars. Langesund is popular with boaters and our
guest piers are frequently visited.

Skien
Skien, county capital of Telemark, is where this year’s toughest
leg starts. Home of just over 53,000, Skien offers city life with
concerts and pleasant cafés, and the Mersmak food festival, but
also salmon fishing right in the town centre, and great nature and
outdoor experiences.
The Telemark Channel starts here, to be enjoyed as a passenger
on one of the channel boats, and you can freely jump on and off
along the way, so as to include your own cycling holiday if you
so please. Channel Week from May 18 to 25 opens this year’s
season, inviting you to a long list of various events on and by
the channel. Skien is Henrik Ibsen’s native town and a visit to his
childhood home at Venstøp is recommended. In the summer ”Ibsen
and Food” offers samples from the playwright’s works along with
culinary treats. Riders in the Tour of Norway starting from here
get to taste honey cake, Ibsen’s favourite.
Skien has proud cycle traditions and racers Thor Hushovd, Dag Erik
Pedersen, and the sisters Monica and Anita Valen all kicked off
their careers here. Welcome to Skien!

Rjukan
Rjukan is situated in Tinn municipality, about 2.5 hours from
Oslo. Sam Eyde is the founder of Rjukan. He bought the Rjukan
waterfall in 1902 and built the Norwegian Hydro. Artificial
fertilizer were produced and saved the world from famine. Rjukan
grew from being a small farming community to a vibrant industrial
community with more than 10,000 inhabitants. This unique
industrial history has led to UNESCO nomination.
with the industrial history, as well as the world famous war history
”the drama of the heavy water”. Krossobanen is a cable car that
within 5 minutes whisks you up to the foot of Hardangervidda
- Norway’s largest National Park. The sun is behind the high
mountains all winter, thus a large mirror ensures that sunlight is
reflected and sent down to the Rjukan square.
Few other places have so much to offer within so few square
meters.
Today Rjukan has about 3,000 inhabitants and most of the
industry is shut down. However, tourism is a blooming industry.
Gaustatoppen towers majestically over the town. Inside the 1883
meter high mountain there is a lift called Gaustabanen which
enables you to reach Gaustatoppen within 15 minutes. At the
Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum you get a close encounter

Hol
active ski school in the 1950s, the first chair lift, Geilo Taubane,
which opened in 1954 and Norway’s first piste preparation
machine in 1972. Geilo’s first hotel, Gjeilo Hotell (now Geilo Hotel),
was established in 1880. In 1909 – the same year as the opening
of the Bergen Railway – came Dr. Holms Hotel. Skarverennet
was first organized in 1974. It is a cross-country skiing race,
arranged by the club Geilo IL. The race begins in Finse, and runs
along Hallingskarvet, before it finishes at Ustaoset, a total of 37
km. More than 12 000 people participate every year.
Geilo is the biggest town in the municipality of Hol, with
approximately 2500 inhabitants. It is located halfway between
Norway’s two main cities, Oslo and Bergen. Geilo is situated at 798
meters above sea level, near two national parks; Hardangervidda
and Hallingskarvet. Here you will find plateaus, waterfalls, rivers,
and a rich wildlife. There are several mountain roads and wellmarked and well-trodden paths if you want to walk or cycle. In
Hardangervidda National Park you can experience Europe’s largest
reindeer herd, and perhaps be lucky enough to see both snowy
owls and arctic foxes. In 2008 Geilo, as one of five in Norway,
was designated the title “National Park Village”. In addition, Geilo
is working hard to be sertified as a “Sustainable destination” in
2016.
Hol has fostered several great athletes such as the freestyle
skiers Andreas Håtveit and Tiril Sjaastad Christiansen, the ice
skaters Hege and Håvard Bøkko and Christoffer Fagerli Rukke. In
addition, the upcoming singer/songwriter star, Daniel Kvammen,
is from Geilo.
It is over 100 years since Geilo welcomed its first ski tourists. As
early as 1867, the first English tourist, Lord Garvagh from London,
came to the area around Hallingskarvet. In 1880, his son had the
well-known Lordehytta built at Folarskaret on Hallingskarvet.
Modern ski tourism began in 1935 when one of the country’s
first slalom races was organized in Geilo. That was the beginning
of today’s modern, all-round sports resort. Some of the greatest
events that have marked the development of Geilo have been the
opening of the Bergen Railway in 1909, the establishment of an
Geilo has developed into a popular destination – winter, spring,
summer and autumn. You will find a selection of restaurants, shops
and activities and a wealth of accommodation options. From Geilo
it is also only a short distance to the fjords of Western Norway,
and the journey by train from Geilo station is an experience in
itself.

Flå – First in Hallingdal
With its nearly 1100 inhabitants, Flå is the smallest of the
six municipalities in Hallingdal. This is by far Norways largest
travelling region with almost 6 mill guests each year. The last
few years a lot of the industry in Flå has shifted towards travel
and leisure. Olav Thon has invested more than 500 MNOK to help
develop Flå from a place primarily based mainly on agriculture and
forestry to also include retail and tourism.
Lately Flå has also started competing with the rest of the
Hallingdal region when it comes to recreation and tourism. The
last ten years hundreds of cabins have been built and there are
more to come. At Høgevarde around 1000 cabins are planned and
will be offered in the years to come. This is pristine area where
you can hike at 1000moh + With only a 90 min drive from the
capital Oslo, Flå has a serious advantage to rest of the region.
Flå is the warmest place in Norway during the summer. Should it
be too warm you can seek up in the mountains for a cooler breeze
or you can go swimming in the river or go to the lake Krøderen
only 10 minutes away from Flå sentrum.
Flå is working hard to focus on nature-based tourism. During
summer you can attend different kind of trips with the best
guides possible. The Norwegian hunting and Fishing association
has placed its national course-center here where you learn from
th best on how to improve your skills in shooting, fishing, and
general hunting.
The Bearpark alone attracts around 70.000 guests each year and
is the largest attraction in the summer for the whole region. One
of the reasons why it is placed here is that the last of wild brown
bears in Norway resided here.
With weights up to 400kg this is by far the largest predator
in Scandinavia. In the park you can experience this beautiful
and intelligent animal in its natural environment. In addition
to the brown bear you can also see other animals that resides
naturally in the woods of Norway, like lynx, moose and red deer.
You also get to attend feeding sessions and there are loads of
other animals that you can pet and get to know better. The park
emphasis interaction between visitors and animals like few other,
but of course on premises best for the animals.
www.visit flaa.no
Funfacts:
• The bear looses up to 40% of its weight during hibernation.
• The bear can eat up to 184000 blueberries in one single day.
• The male can kill cubs in order to breed with the female bear in
order to ensure continuation of its own genes
• The Lynx can jump 2m straight up and 5m forwards from a still
stand, thus making it capable of completely taking its prey by
surprice.

The Ringerike Region
Hadeland Glassverk is one of the most popular tourist attractions
in Norway. The glassworks was founded in 1762 in Jevnaker, and
is the oldest handicraft factory in Norway. Kistefos Træsliberi was
founded beside the Kistefos waterfall in the river Randselva in
1889, and is now a museum. Here you can see how the old tree
grinding factory worked, and enjoy the many sculptures in the
park around the old buildings. Christen Sveaas has spent many
years developing this unique activity centre.
Once upon a time … This is how many of the famous Norwegian
fairy tales collected by Jørgen Moe and Peder Christian Asbjørnsen
begin. The two good friends sat down in Ringerike in the middle
of the 19th century to write them down. And the landscape
stretching from Sollihøgda in the south to Sør-Aurdal in the north
really seems to be part of a fairy tale. Fjords, plains, forests and
mountains inspire the visitors to look for trolls and gnomes. From
“Kongens utsikt” (The Kings viewpoint) you can gaze out on this
beautiful landscape. Many kings have lived here. The region has a
rich history that includes six kings from the old sagas.
For sports lovers, the possibilities are many and varied. We have a
modern soccer stadion, a swimming hall, an outdoor scating arena
, a ski jumping hill, an athletics arena, an ice hockey arena and a
large indoor sports arena with many facilities including a climbing
wall. All these facilities are possible because the municipalities, the
county and private donors cooperate in building and maintaining
them.
The Ringerike Region has 43.000 inhabitants and includes
the municipalities Ringerike, Hole and Jevnaker. Hønefoss is
the capital of the region. The forests and lakes have been very
important for the region’s development. In the 1300s, Hønefoss
started building its industries along the exceptional waterfall
where people lived and worked. The water driven sawmills along
the Hønefoss waterfall were the beginning of the city. The
waterfall can still be impressive at times. In the middle of it stands
the “Oppgangssaga”, (“The water driven sawmill”), a sculpture by
Knut Steen. Hønefoss officially became a city in 1852, and has
become an important connection between the east and the
west of Norway. Both the railroad and the main roads go through
Hønefoss.
We also have a broad spectrum of cultural events. Norway’s largest
summer revue can be enjoyed in Hønefoss. There is a children’s
show on Gladtved pier, and the show Jailhouse Rock takes place
in the garden of the cultural foundation Fengselet (The Jail). A
variety of other events take place in the culture centre and other
local stages all year round.
You can see the exciting finish of the Tour of Norway at
Eggemoen. On this former military camp you now find Eggemoen
Aviation and Technology Park, a national and international cluster
for technology and aviation industries with with its own operative
airfield
Hønefoss is a vital city. You can walk from the South Square to
the river and to the recreational areas in the outskirts of the city.
Many people enjoy spending time in their boats on the rivers and
lakes. Fishing is a lot of fun; you can even catch delicious crayfish
in the right season. The charming yacht, Dronning Tyra, provides
lovely sightseeing tours in the summer. Both lake Tyrifjorden
and lake Steinsfjorden have many islands, which are rich in many
different plants and animals. The geology of these islands is
interesting, with rare rocks and fossils.
