Norsk (English below):
En herlig morsom flytsti med doseringer og godt driv hele veien – men også tekniske elementer for de mer erfarne syklistene. Overflaten består av en blanding av stedlig jord og tilkjørt grus, noe som gir godt feste og jevn flyt.

Langs stien finnes flere utsiktspunkter med panoramautsikt mot Hallingdal, Vassfaret og innsjøen Krøderen. Underveis passerer du også en rasteplass med mulighet for bål (NB Bål er forbudt i perioden 15. april–15. september).

Stien starter øst for Høgevarde Fjellpark, like ved Lavvostien. Turen kan gjerne starte ved Lavvoen – følg Lavvostien til østre punkt, og ta derfra inn på Forkbeard.

English:
A wonderfully fun flowtrail with berms and great rhythm from start to finish – but also technical elements to challenge advanced riders. The surface is a mix of local dirt and imported gravel, giving solid grip and smooth flow.

Along the trail, you'll find several viewpoints with sweeping views of Hallingdal, Vassfaret, and Lake Krøderen. There is also a rest area with a fire pit along the way (NOTE: Campfires are not allowed during the forest fire season from April 15 to September 15).

The trail begins just east of Høgevarde Fjellpark, near Lavvostien. A great option is to start at the lavvu, ride Lavvostien to its easternmost point, and join Forkbeard from there.
