Just below the railway tracks at Snippen, the trail sneaks through a dramatic rock tunnel carved straight into the hillside. With the river flowing beside you and the sound of the train passing overhead, it’s a short but memorable stretch that adds a bit of adventure to your route.

There is a nice pth along the railway, and this crossing through an old tunnel.

Commonly used for XC races at Langsetløkka for classes M/F6 to M/F10, with one or two rounds depending on age. Mix of gravel and singletrail.

Short and easy (S0/green) built-up trail that's a lot of fun to ride, and way better than following the gravel around. Most enjoyable from west to east.

If you're like me and like to do "gravel up, singletrail down" this cabin with its cafeteria is perfectly located as several of the best trails in the area (like E6, Bunghole, Hobo...) start just south of this place. After you have exhausted yourself climbing the gravel up here, treat yourself to a coffee or waffle (or both) before you start the fun part of your trip down to Sognsvann again. You deserve it!
