Yesterday afternoon on Den gamle Ridevegen (the old riding trail) in Søndre Land municipality which connects Fluberg down at Randsfjorden to Landåsbygda.
Wooden logs for those really boggy, swampy parts of the trail
The trail has been in use for about 1,000 years, and also connects Søndre Land to the Bergenske Kongevegen (the Bergen King’s Road), which travellers of yesteryear took from Oslo to Bergen over Filefjell mountain pass.
The trail takes you past some of the local farms
The trail is quite spectacular with several info boards telling the history of the local sights. Worth a hike, ride or a run 🙂
And into some amazing forest, especially in autumn

My favourite soft needle trail through pine forest
