The Journey
Spikkestad Station
Begin your adventure at Spikkestad Station, a beautifully preserved building with a history as rich as the surrounding landscape. Once a bustling railway hub, it has been repurposed as a restaurant and bar, offering a chance to relax and soak in the atmosphere before starting along the rail trail. Imagine the trains that once passed through here, carrying passengers and stories through the Norwegian countryside. Now, it marks the beginning of a unique walking or cycling experience.
Gullaug Halt
Discover the tranquil beauty of Gullaug Halt, an abandoned railway stop offering breathtaking views of the Drammen fjord. After passing through two railway tunnels, take a moment to stretch your legs on the platform and absorb the peaceful scenery. An information board displays historical photos, providing a glimpse into the halt's past. This hidden gem invites you to step back in time and appreciate the serene isolation and scenic panorama.
Lieråsen Tunnel
Experience the engineering marvel of the Lieråsen Tunnel, a testament to Norwegian innovation. As the third-longest railway tunnel in Norway, stretching an impressive 11 kilometers, it offers a unique subterranean journey. Before the opening of the Gardermoen Line in 1999, it held the title of the longest. This tunnel is not just a passage, but a gateway to a different perspective, allowing you to appreciate the sheer scale and ambition of railway construction.
