What is Mjøstråkk?
Mjøstråkk is a 234 km cycle route around Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake – but is so much more than just a bicycle ride! 

Riding around Mjøsa on two wheels is the best way to experience this beautiful cultural landscape. There are also numerous attractions to discover and explore along the way. The route is mostly gentle, and meanders through an open cultural landscape with rolling hills, old crofts, medieval churches, and manor farms. Traffic is limited, and some of the stretches are suitable for children.

It is up to you where to start and whether to go in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. You may wish to cycle the full length, or prefer to do just parts of the route – pick the distance that suits you best. Whatever you decide, we recommend that you take your time.  The landscape around Mjøsa oozes tranquillity and rural charm. Slow down and just enjoy the experience of being on the go! Take a refreshing swim in Mjøsa, visit an exciting museum, or eat a delicious meal at a restaurant by the water's edge.
