Cycling National Road 7 in mid June
Does anyone know what the traffic density is like on National Road 7 in early to mid June?
Although summer holidays in Norway last from 21 June to 17 August 2025 and I’m planning to cycle on Rv7 before that, it is still a very important road in Norway (connecting Oslo and Bergen) and not part of any National Cycle Route.
From Geilo to Eidfjord it is 90km on Rv7, and then another 30km to Kinsarvik. (Google suggests that Eidfjord-Kinsarvik is not passable by bicycle, but GraphHopper claims otherwise and https://cyclenorway.com/en/routes/fjord-norway/ does this exact route).
I have had some scary experiences at unavoidable parts of the Swedish E4 and highways in the Baltic States, but those lasted for 20km at a time, and I will be on National Road 7 for 120km..
(the screenshot from Google Streetview is from July, in the middle of Norwegian summer holidays, not June).
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
