Final stage of this 4-day ride to the Southern part of Osensjøen, where Jan Henrik has bought a summer house.
A pretty easy ride today, with only two not very steep ascents. Sunny weather.
Following the road south past Engerdal along the beautiful Lake Engeren.

Past a small hydro power plant, Hylla from 1945, 2.7MW. Of course I’m over average interested in this, but it illustrates an interesting feature: the highly distributed character of Norwegian power production, compared with few large plants as in most other countries.

| Firewood is popular here. And necessarily, this is a very cold area in winter |
From here, I took provincial road 251 towards Osensjøen.

Wild strawberries in the roadside. Not very good unfortunately.

| Rather special power poles in this area, different from other places in Norway. I believe it is 10 kV, less common than 22kV |
Finally down Osensjøen, observing wind turbiner for the second time on my 400km trip. Norway is not exactly peppered with these as some claim.

Finally arriving at Southern Osensjøen. Great trip, although I must admit that this part of Norway is rather monotonous 🙂.

Well done!
ReplyDeleteJeg leser at du trekker samme konklusjon som Live og jeg gjorde etter å ha syklet Rendalen. Dette er en del av Norge som egner seg best for de som synes trær er det helt store.
