Mjostrakk stage Minnesund - Tangen

About

Eidsvoll Station is a natural starting point for this stretch, whether you arrive by train or car. From the station, you can easily follow the Vormtråkk cycling route to Minnesund. This newly constructed 8 km cycle path starts right at the station and takes you along the western side of the Vorma River for the entire stretch. At Minnesund, you join the Mjøstråkk cycling route, which you follow all the way to Tangen. Please note that the route signage is somewhat limited until you reach Tangen. Make sure to download the GPX-file on your phone or GPS-device.

Alternatively, park in Minnesund and pick up Mjøstråkk directly. If you plan to do this leg as a day-trip and would like to return by train, we recommend that you park / start by Eidsvoll station.
