Description.

An exciting, green route tucked away in the city centre between the heavily trafficked E6, Østre Aker vei and Trondheimsveien. The route runs mainly on car-free footpaths and cycle paths from Skillebekk by Trondheimsveien down to the bottom of Groruddalen. The surroundings are mainly grasslands, sports facilities and woodland. It’s a very easy route that is also perfectly manageable if you cycle it in the opposite direction, up towards Vestli.
