Description.
This neat little route provides a safe connection from the west side of Damsgårdsundet to the north end of Store Lungegårdsvann. You take a pedestrian and cycle bridge over Damsgårdsundet, through Nygårdparken and on a cycle path under the heavily trafficked roads Nygårdsgaten, with Bybanen, and Fjøsangerveien. The hiking trail along Lungegårdsvannet offers great views of the mountains on the eastern side of the city.
For those who want to cycle further…
The closest connection with other Green Cycle Routes is the old Osbanen line, which starts 600 metres south of Danmarks plass, at Fabrikkgaten. Here it is very cycle-friendly past Krambua, Nesttun, Lagunen and Stend.
