The trip starts at the marina in Leirvik. Turn right at the roundabout and continue
past Galleri Giga. Follow cycling route no 1 past Esso and out of the town centre.
The route takes you up a gentle ascent past Knutsaåsen Aldersheim (old people’s
home) to the end of the road where the road then splits in two – follow the one
that passes through an underpass. You will now be cycling on a gravel road. After
the last house on this road, there is a gradual descent down a carriage road. Follow
cycling route no 1 and you will return to Gruvevegen road. Pass the old school at
Stuva and continue through Litlabø. There are many lovely farms and fantastic
cultural landscape along the road.
After roughly 6.5 km, you come to an exit road on the right that takes you to the
Mining Museum at Litlabø. Iron pyrite was extracted here from 1865 to 1968. The
museum has lovely grounds with a walking trail.
