Landeveisrunde mellom Jessheim og Kløfta

A leisurely bike ride in the cultural landscape of Romerike, between Kløfta and Jessheim.
The trip is a total of just over 2 miles. A few km of high traffic load are included in the trail.

 

Route description:
From Kløfta station, turn left onto Trondheimsveien when standing with your back towards the station building. Turn left at the roundabout and follow Kongsvingerveien over E6 to Ullensaker church. If you want a look along the walls of Ullersmo National Prison, take Ullersmoveien to the right after passing the railway exit, and Ilevegen to the left back to Kongsvingerveien.

Just after the bridge over the E6 there is an old venue on the left side, Galgeberg. No visible traces of business today. On the right is Miklagard Golf.
Turn left down the hill past Ullensaker church. This church, also known as the Roman Empire, was built in 1958 after the old burned, and was designed by Arnstein Arneberg. Just a mile past the church, turn right into the Løken Cross, towards Flatby and Hamar. Turn left at Flatby Cross to Myrhus and Hamar. Follow the Rambydalsvegen north through the Rambydalen. After passing the residential area on Flatbyseter, turn left, Old Algarheimsvei, which passes through the residential areas and onto Algarheims road towards Jessheim city center. Follow this road over the railway bridge and turn left just after the bridge. You have now passed the train station on your right before you swung, and the 1902 mansion, just after the turn. At the roundabout, turn left onto Old Trondheimsvei. Follow this in bridge over E6 and further towards Kløfta. This stretch has high traffic loads and there is no bike path here and is not recommended for children.

Take the road to the left, signposted Ullensaker church, follow this underground underneath the railway and bridge over the E6. Note the historic road signs before crossing the railway. The road goes through the cultural landscape and you will eventually follow the same road as you came past Ullensaker church.

Follow Kongsvingervegen, RV 2 towards Kløfta and back to Kløfta station.

Drengsrud cultural path

Drengsrud in Asker – historic roads and cultural landscapes. At Drengsrud school there is a notice board with a map and description of the cultural path around Hogstadvannet lake. The path features a number of posters placed at historic locations. We recommend that you print out the map and description from the internet in order to get the most out of the walk. The paths are narrow and hilly in places. The path is therefore only suitable for walkers. The path goes through forest, along the water’s edge and along the outskirts of Asker golf course. During the golfing season, you should watch out for stray golf balls.
The walk features much idyllic, natural beauty, and is recommended for everyone with a good level of general fitness, including children.

For recreational routes: Nearest gateway Drengsrud school.

4. Bicycle tour on Romerike, starting from the Quality Airport Hotel Gardermoen

Varied round trip east of the airport along the Pilgrimsruta and with long distances on nice gravel roads in the forest.

Tour description

This tour begins at the hotels located east of the airport. Feel free to stop by the iconic Kepler star and see it up close. It is a great eye-catcher for everyone driving to the airport. At the Modern Activity Center it is possible to test e.g. Norway's roughest wind tunnel.

The bicycle route continues eastwards and eventually northwards along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim route which runs all the way from Halden to Trondheim. It is signposted with red signs and runs on a separate bicycle path through fields and forest.

It leads into the forest on nice gravel roads. You eventually cross the highway, but apart from that it is quiet and calm and almost a magical atmosphere when the forest gets denser. It also goes through fields and farmyards and the surface becomes more of a cart track and path, but still completely bicycle able. Past Hauerseter there is asphalt and low-traffic roads through residential areas, before it becomes gravel again. Look for both blueberries and raspberries along the roadside.

The last part of the trip goes along an walking and bicycling path back to the hotels.

The route passes Hauerseter train station and can also begin and end from here.

Bicycle tour on Romerike, Jessheim/Kløfta round trip

Two different options between the Ullensaker locations Jessheim and Kløfta. Choose between a country road through forested areas or the "commuter route" on pedestrian and bicycle paths – or both!

The trip is described as starting from Kløfta but could just as easily start from Jessheim. The eastern part of the tour is signposted as National Cycle Route 7 and is part of the Pilgrims Route that runs from Halden to Trondheim. The landscape is characterized by a lot of cultivated land with farms and great cornfields. A few kilometres go through a forested area where it is a bit uphill. There is moderate to little traffic here. At Gystad, it is pleasant along Gamle Algarheimveg with a dirt road and through a residential area.

From Jessheim there is some bicycling through the traffic, but the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins quite quickly, and it takes you through the roundabouts to the south and eventually on fast, nice roads with a great view of the open Romeriks landscape. This distance is popular with commuters, so there are often several other bicyclists here. You will find rest area along the way.

The old road into Kløfta has little traffic and the route passes shopping center Romeriksenteret before ending at Kløfta train station.
