3. Bicycle tour at Romerike, Oslo Airport - Jessheim round trip

Bicycle trip from Oslo Airport Gardermoen to Jessheim

This tour will bring you from the airport at Gardermoen to Jessheim on a nice bicycle path. Feel free to return on a dirt road past idyllic Ljøgodttjern and historic Raknehaugen.

You will find very good facilities for bicycling between the airport at Gardermoen and the town of Jessheim.

The first thing you meet is a small park with benches and flowers, before the pedestrian- and bicycle path begins. It takes you safely out of the airport area and is well signposted all the way to Jessheim. The ride is easy with asphalt and just a few slopes. Even if you bicycle parallel to the road, there are longer distances with a view of open landscape.

In Jessheim there are restaurants, cafes and shops. The train stops here, and it is also possible to continue along the National Bicycle Route 7 Pilgrim's Route both north and south.

For a bit of variety, the return journey is partly on cozy dirt roads and stops at Ljøgodttjern with swimming opportunities. Raknehaugen is an old burial ground and is also worth a stop, before the return to Gardermoen. This tour returns to the bicycle parking lot at the airport.
