If you live in the Oslo region and are thinking of taking a longer day trip on your motorcycle, I can recommend taking a trip into Sweden, to the Dalsland Canal and the area around Ed and Lake Stora Le. The region offers fantastic roads and beautiful nature. The small towns of Dals-Ed, Håverud, Tacksfors, Lennartsfors and Ed, among others, offer locks, canals, lakes and a lot of old industrial history. The Motorcycle Museum in Ed (www.mc-dalsland.se) is also worth a visit. More information about the region can be found here: www.dalsland.com

Some key distances:

-Oslo-Halden-Ed: 171 km

-Ed-Håverud: 45 km

-Håverud-Lennartsfors: 81 km

Have a good trip!
