Route description

This route is perhaps one of the country’s finest commuter routes, with almost no gradients on the outside of the railway line and partly right down by the sea. The route runs through greenery and woodland and there are many places to stop, at beaches, swimming areas and playgrounds. Some short stretches run through quiet residential neighbourhoods. At Jåttå, half a kilometre of the route passes through an area with various office buildings, but still on a car-free cycle path.
