Description.

A fairly green and safe way to get from Heimdal/Tiller towards Trondheim. The route is characterised by flats and gentle downhill slopes. From Haldor Flatens veg, most of the route continues on hiking trails and the almost car-free Mellomfossvegen. The last two kilometres along the Nidelva are completely car-free. There are also tables and benches under small roofs, intended for fishermen, but they are probably shared with cyclists who need a breather.
