Gruva
Description
At the top, a gentle and winding flow path. A steep bend takes you down a more technical section through a pine forest before you thunder out onto a new felling field. Back into the forest on a steep section, then a steeper stretch before you get to test your agility on a narrow forest path. After passing a slightly rocky section, you get a fast-paced finish back on the tarmac.
No wet holes mean that this trail can be cycled in all kinds of weather. The steep sections and some technical obstacles mean that this trail has a degree of difficulty demanding if it is to be cycled in its entirety. Much used footpath, watch out for walkers! Number of height meters: 330.
Access
From Leira, you cycle/drive upwards towards Skaveldenbygda past Valdre's upper secondary school. Take off towards Pilset. Follow this road until it flattens out after a few kilometers and you get a logging field at the bottom of the road. Stop at the road junction at a small gravel roof on the upper side of the road (called Gruva), it is possible to park here. The path begins at the pine tree at the crossing.
