Travle Description
The tour begins at Nedre Leirfoss. Close to the power plant, there is a pleasant park where you can spend some time.
The path continues down the river Nidelven. The path meanders through the landscape along with the river. Along the way you can find Shelters, benches and fishing spots. The path is widely used by the local population, and is mostly well sheltered from the busy city.
Eventually the trail passes Kroppanbrua(bridge), Sluppen, Tempe idrettsanlegg (where Trondheim Kayak is based) and further down to Valøya. From here, the trail passes into an urban environment and follows the streets past the Lerkendal football stadium, Teknobyen and finally through St. Olav's Hospital. When you get to the Studentersamfunnet, you get to see Nidaros Cathedral for the first time, the end of the journey. After crossing the Elgseter Bridge, turn left onto the path that goes down under the bridge. It will lead you past Olavskilden at Hadriansplass. Then you go up the stairs nearby and walk along the mighty facade of the medival Archbishop's Palace before arriving at the pilgrimage destination: Nidaros Cathedral.
A nice way to end the trip is to visit to the pilgrim reception close to the cathedral.
