Description.

Very easy and flat along the Farelva river in Skien city centre. This small hiking trail can be a place for the very youngest to join a trip, or perhaps a place to learn to cycle. Nice views of the river and the city on the other side. You also pass nice boats and the special sculpture Rottejomfruen, which is also a piece of play equipment.
