Påskestien

Description

A classic in Nesbyen! It is recommended to cycle this trail when it is dry, as the trail has many roots that can be unpredictable when wet! The trail is quite rough in places and has some tight turns, but offers natural gradients and fast rollercoaster cycling on old timber trails.

NB! Do not park on the private property where the trail ends (park along Alfarvegen or in the city center).

To cycle this trail, you have three alternative arrivals:

1. Cycle (or shuttle part of the way) up the gravel road that begins a few hundred meters north of where the trail ends.

2. Cycle up Bringenattvegen / Lyshøgdvegen from Rukkedalen to the start of the Påskeekstra trail (which is also extra rough) which you follow to the Påskestien trail.

3. Cycle from the top of Espeset, via the rather rough trails Påskeekstra Extra and Påskeekstra.

Description of arrival option 1:

From the center of Nesbyen, cycle/shuttle along Allfarvegen in the direction of Gol. When you reach a large embankment/rockfall protection, turn left and keep left. Follow this road uphill. After the second 180 degree turn, turn left at the first intersection and follow the road uphill. You can drive a good distance up here until the road becomes too steep and bad. From here it is steep, you can cycle if you are patient or push. Where the road has grown over again, continue for about 100 meters and the road flattens out completely. Here the path starts steeply down the left.
