The Telemark Road
The road is known as the Telemark Road (Norwegian: Telemarksveien) and this name is used for the marketing of the road and surrounding businesses. The road passes Hamresanden Beach and Kristiansand Airport, Kjevik in the south in Kristiansand municipality. It then heads north through the municipalities of Birkenes, Froland, Åmli, Nissedal, and Kviteseid. These are municipalities that tourists do not always find easily, so marketing the road has helped to bring people there. The Telemark road goes through a lot of beautiful, Norwegian scenery as well.
