Den Ravinde

Description

"Norway's best trail?" Asked Terrengsykkel magazine when they visited Nesbyen in 2019. This is definitely a must-try for all dedicated cyclists. The first machine-built downhill trail in Nesbyen offers large dosages, several (optional) jumps and generally very good flow. The first stage (Traversen) is built by hand. Around the middle of the upper part you will find the "mountain line" with many alternative lines. Incidentally, there are alternative lines in several places - and all demanding elements can be avoided. The whole trail can be rolled without jumping, but for those who like to go a bit further there are plenty of opportunities for air.

When you get down to the dirt road (Midtlivegen), the path continues down the open logging field. The path gradually becomes gentler downwards, and the last hundred meters before the end at the asphalt road (Vassfarvegen) have a blue grading.

What does the name mean? "Den Ravinde" means "The rapid" in the local dialect (Halling).

Trailhead Nesbyen and Any Excuse to Ride offer both guiding and shuttling for those who want to get the most out of their cycling day. Read more here: www.visitnesbyen.no/shuttling-og-guiding/.

"Den Ravinde" was built in several stages from 2016 to 2019, and has received gaming funds and support from Nesbyen Municipality and Tråkk n Roll.
