"A lot of paths to take, with easier ones as well. I've also met some goats on the way, and a squirrel.
Definitely recommend it, you can go there by car or bus and then in less than an hour you reach the lake and all the beautiful spots."
Kathe K
"Easy to access with plenty of different pathways. I live in Trondheim and this is my favorite place to go (less people than in the forest of the ouest side of Trondheim).
There is a small cabin (hytta) up there where you can buy something to drink or food. It is the hytta with the most choice that I found so far. Be careful with the hours, especially in week days.
Accessible with dogs, skis. I recommand"

"Beautiful natur close to the city. Good roads to walk on if you. But you can also find trails that are more demanding. Great place for both hikers and bicyclist. (X-country skiing in winter season)"
