Biking/hiking in Bymarka

Bymarka is Trondheim’s green belt. In summer and winter, Bymarka entices us with the beauty and variety of its countryside. It is easily accessible and the place where many a Trondhjemmer goes for a little peace and tranquilty among the hills and pines. The wiew from some of the hills is worth a hard trip to the top. Gråkallen, Geitfjellet and Storheia is the best wiewpoints. From here you can see the fjord, the whole city centre and mountains far, far away.

Winter is a very special time in Bymarka. Believe it or not we can't wait for the snow as this is a great and invigorating place to go skiing. In the middle of winter the lakes freeze over and there is a thick layer of snow for young and old to enjoy. If you're visiting Trondheim in the winter, or here attending a convention, try to borrow some skiis and visit this unique paradise. As the spring approaches and the sun starts to melt this winter landscape, you can still enjoy skiing, maybe getting a tan as well.

To get there you can take a bus(number 10) from city centre or you can even take a tram. The tram service runs from St. Olav’s gt. in the centre to Lian in Bymarka (hills to the west). There is no charge for transfer fares to city buses. Veteran trams run on Saturdays in the summer. If you feel really sporty, you can sweat your way to the forest on your bike.

Equipment: Well, what can I say, bring something you can walk in the forest with. Good shoes is important. If it is summer you may want to bring something you can take a bath in, bikini, bathingsuit, shorts... You will pass many small and beautiful lakes on your way to the top. And remember; bring your camera!
