Mjostrakk stage Brumunddal - Lillehammer

About

This section starts by Mjøsparken in Brumunddal, and follows the Mjøstråkk route past the Prøysen Museum and Ringsaker church to Moelv. It then continues on the eastern side of Mjøsa on the old 'Kongevei' to Lillehammer. The distance leaves enough time to explore some of the attractions along the way.

If you prefer to stop and see some more, it is possible to spend the night at Steinvik Camping in Moelv. 

The leg starts in the brand new Mjøsparken recreational area – the ideal spot for families with children on a sunny day. It then continues as a relatively gentle ride on tarmac towards Moelv. Among the attractions along the way is the Prøysen Museum, which offers guided tours, exhibitions and a café. alternatively you can take a break at Fru G., a lovely garden café, located along the route. A few kilometres further along Mjøstråkk, you will reach Ringsaker church, the oldest church in the Mjøsregion which is open to visitors all summer and is well worth a stop.

​​​​​From Moelv, Mjøstråkk follows the old National Tourist Route a bit further up from Mjøsa. From Moelv towards Brøttum, Mjøstråkk follows the slightly busy route 213 for 15 kilometres. Please note that this stretch does not have a cycle path. Just before Brøttum, turn onto Gamle Kongevei – a gravel road taking you past old crofts and venerable manor farms. Just before Skog farm, St.Olav’s spring is emerging from underneath a boulder (an important stop for pilgrims). Swimming is possible at Bekkodden recreation ground.
