Norsk (English below):
En klassiker i Nesbyen Best når det er tørt – røttene kan bli glatte. Stien har god flyt og gir en fartsfylt, berg-og-dalbanefølelse, selv om noen partier er røffe og tekniske.

Viktig: Ikke parker på privat eiendom der stien ender. Bruk parkering langs Alfarvegen eller i sentrum.

Tre alternative tilkomstruter:
1️⃣ Sykle (eller shuttle) opp grusveien noen hundre meter nord for der stien ender.
2️⃣ Sykle opp Bringenattvegen / Lyshøgdvegen fra Rukkedalen til starten av Påskeekstra, og følg videre til Påskestien.
3️⃣ Sykle fra toppen av Espeset, via Påskeekstra.

Fra sentrum, sykle eller shuttle langs Alfarvegen mot Gol. Ved en stor fylling eller rasvern, ta til venstre og hold venstre. Etter andre 180-graders sving, ta første vei til venstre. Du kan kjøre et stykke opp til veien blir for bratt og røff. Derfra blir det bratt – gå eller sykle. Når veien flater ut etter ca. 100 m i gjengrodd terreng, starter stien bratt ned til venstre.

English:
A classic in Nesbyen! Best when dry—roots can be slippery. The trail is fast and flowy, with some rough, technical parts and a roller-coaster feel.

Important: Do not park on private property where the trail ends. Use parking along Alfarvegen or in the town center.

Three alternative access routes:
1️⃣ Ride (or shuttle) up the gravel road a few hundred meters north of the trail end.
2️⃣ Ride up Bringenattvegen / Lyshøgdvegen from Rukkedalen to Påskeekstra, then continue to Påskestien.
3️⃣ Ride from the top of Espeset via Påskeekstra trail.

From town, bike or shuttle along Alfarvegen towards Gol. At a large embankment or landslide barrier, turn left and keep left. After the second hairpin turn, take the first left. You can drive partway until the road gets too steep and rough. From there, push or ride. When the road flattens after ~100 m of overgrowth, the trail drops steeply to the left.

      Roq
      Rough but mostly interesting except som straight down runs in a rut . The whole trail is within the woods - steep and rocky with no longer flat sections.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
