Klassisk Bragernes

Description

A typical standard trip for the locals in Bragernesåsen. A little technical at times, but not difficult.

Start at the bouta at Stiboltkrysset. Climbing 1.5 km on gravel up past Landfallhytta and further over Landfallbrenna (take the second path to the left after the straight stretch before the summit) until you are on gravel again. Keep right and turn in at the bench down to Myrdammen. Up to Tverken on gravel/path. Take a rest. Go in behind the doe on the path and just follow it back to the light track towards Årkvisla (turn right). Follow the ski slope down. Turn left again after the stream crossing and keep right over the swain when you see the first cabin. Follow the path back to the ski track, slope over and cycle further to the right down towards Myrdammen on the cream trail. New break. From Myrdammen directly across the road and down the valley on a fast flow path to the bridge. Turn left over the bridge and up the hill and continue on the path until you reach the road. Turn right 500 m. You will come to a sign on a small peak, 50 m further down you follow the Elgstien down to the right. Things can go fast here - watch out for walkers!

Follow the road straight ahead and take the next path to the right down to Hvalsdammen after 300m. Then first left and over the dam and on to the next crossing. Take the west tree, then right 30m further on. Take the gravel up 150m and then turn left onto the path. You follow this over the top and to a new gravel road. Here you can either go back to the starting point (150m to the right) or cycle the fast cream trail straight ahead and down to Sturlahuset. From here you can cycle back up on gravel or continue down to the city.
