Description.

The small Orrtuvannet lake south of Fyllingsdalen is tucked away in a residential area. Cycling around the lake only takes a few minutes, but it’s a great nature experience with wetlands and a rich bird life. The path along the lake is a safe place for children to learn to cycle and has no noticeable slopes. Along the water there are picnic benches and exercise equipment available for everyone.
