Route description

This part of the old Lierbane route is largely car-free, paved, very easy to cycle, and with a gentle downhill towards Brakerøya and Drammen. Long stretches are straight and provide a good overview. A few kilometres closer to Drammen, there is some noise from the E18, but the cycle path is completely separate and safe.
