Hitching Out

If going towards Oslo you might want to head towards the railwaystation. This is the area called Nylende. From here you will be close to the beginning of the Rv 32 (This is a more direct route towards Oslo) going to Siljan. This way you will probably pass through Drammen on your way to Oslo. If going to Tønsberg, or Oslo by the coastline, it is advisable that you take a local bus that leaves you close to Telemarksporten. This is in Porsgrunn/Eidanger.
