Description.
An attractive, car-free and surprisingly peaceful route through large green areas between Østre Aker vei and Grorudbanen. Be aware that good tarmac means that some people cycle fast here to and from work. If you want a more family-friendly ride, with fewer fast cyclists, you should take the route at weekends. If you cycle in the opposite direction, from Økern, the route can serve as a good start to a trip into Lillomarka.
For those who want to continue cycling…
This route can easily be linked to the Green Cycle Route from Økern, which you can take either towards Tøyen or Bjerke.
