At the south end of the lake, you can bike down to Stiklestad National Cultural Center for lunch, tour or just a break before continuing north on the east side of the lake.

By Sæli just south of Vegmo take the county road and bike onto the road to Henning Church. The road passes through a farm with horses so use caution. Continue to Skarpnes, then on to Røli and  Trana via the road by Bruem (farm with distinct "tower"), take the side road to the left where the main road bends to the right and continue to Trana Marka / Trana, down Tranabakken (Trana Hill) straight down to the centre.
