Description.
This is a circular route, the first half of which is on an excellent separate cycle path from Grorud station. You cycle along the railway line and some industrial areas, but it is quiet and calm. Commuter cycling goes away here. After a couple of kilometres, the route changes to a gravel road and you cycle in quiet and peaceful surroundings on a hiking trail along the Alnaelva river. Here, the pace should take into account that the path is shared with pedestrians. This is an easy and varied tour with benches in several places.
For those who want to continue cycling…
The route can be extended with the Green Cycle Route Trondheimsveien – Rommensletta – Grorud railway station.
