Special considerations: Gamle Osbanetraseen is used by children, walkers, joggers and cyclists.

Description.

You won’t find flatter cycling in Bergen than this! The route follows a disused railway line that makes for very easy cycling. The route is almost completely car-free, and therefore suitable for children and others who are not confident in traffic. The section between Kalandseidet and Fana Church is particularly child-friendly. Here, the cycle path follows its own route and only crosses a modestly busy road twice.

Both between Krambua and Nesttun, and between Stend and Kalandsvannet, it’s almost like cycling on a tarmac forest road. The disused Rådal and Stend railway stations are located along the line. The latter is a railway museum in the summer. There’s a nice picnic area at Klokkarvannet, but don’t forget to enjoy the view of Kalandsvannet.
