Norsk (English below):
Denne hundre år gamle stien forbinder gårdene høyt oppe på Espeset med Nesbyen.

Stien holder stort sett høy kvalitet og inviterer til fart, men vær oppmerksom på fotgjengere som kan gå oppover – dette er en populær tursti Underlaget er for det meste jevnt og behagelig, men enkelte partier med løs grus, større steiner og røtter gir en liten utfordring (gradering nær rød enkelte steder). For å bevare stien, unngå å låse bakhjulet!

Omtrent halvveis krysser du Bringenattvegen (grusvei). Lenger ned kan deler av Espesetstien være våt, så vurder alternative ruter (se Trailguide-kartet). Uansett hvilken vei du velger, ender du ved elven, hvor du følger en sti inn til Nesbyen sentrum.

Stien starter ved enden av Øygardsvegen (en 2 km privat vei som kan sykles).

English:
This centuries-old trail connects the farms high up in Espeset with Nesbyen.

The trail is mostly high quality, allowing for good speed, but be mindful of hikers walking uphill – this is a popular hiking route! The surface is mostly smooth and comfortable, but some sections with loose gravel, larger rocks, and roots add a slight challenge (borderline red grading in places). To preserve the trail, avoid locking the rear wheel!

Around halfway down, you’ll cross Bringenattvegen (a gravel road). Further down, parts of Espesetstien can be wet, so consider alternative routes (see the Trailguide map). No matter which path you choose, you’ll end up by the river, where a footpath leads you to Nesbyen town center.

The trail begins at the end of Øygardsvegen (a 2 km private road that can be cycled).
