At 46 km after the start, on the 307m high cliff where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Arctic Ocean, riders dive into the 6870m long undersea tunnel.
Have you ever ridden your bike under the sea? Have you ever ridden your bike 212m below sea level?
The tunnel, along with the Honningsvåg Tunnel, was built between 1993 and 1999 to connect the mainland of Norway with the town of Honningsvåg and the tourist attraction at the North Cape. King Harald V of Norway officially opened the tunnel on June 15, 1999. The maximum gradient is 10%
