Description.
This route won’t save you much distance compared to cycling the car roads via Damsgård, but on the other hand, it’s scenic and largely car-free. It also has great views from Løvstien, and many people will probably choose this route because of the view. There is a steep descent about halfway down, so Løvstien is not recommended for young children.
For those who want to continue cycling…
The nearest Green Cycle Route goes over Småpudden towards Lungegårdsvann. Another option is the old Osbane trail from Fjøsanger, about two kilometres south of the end of our part of Løvstien.
