Until the train was built in 1909 connecting Bergen to Oslo through Hallingdal (Gol) the roadway available into Hallingdal has been described as a two wheel wagon rut. Hiking, skiing and following a water route might also be employed (particularly if frozen as in winter). One young gent cross country skiied from Hol to a southerly port city in a relatively short period of time.
