Cycle ride to Lian Gård
- The perfect family bike ride...
If you want to get up into the mountains and away from the fjord, we recommend taking a cycle trip to Lian Gård (farm). This is a wonderful trip but it can be a little challenging for the youngest children as it is steep for about 2 km and the road surface is a little uneven.
You start from Malangen Brygger and turn left onto the main road. Ride to the first intersection then turn right in the direction of Fjellbygda. The road rises gradually for around 4 km. Turn right at the intersection. Look for the second farm on the left-hand side of the road (about 2 km past the intersection) with a new barn and house.
Lian Gård is surrounded by planted trees including birch, pine and rowan. There are also isolated trees such as Swiss pine,maple and spruce in the yard, which comprises several flower beds. In between the lilies, elders, Nordland spiraea and a manifold of shrubs and summer plants is an idyllic swimming pool, butt his is for private use only. The farm is run by Marianne Hansen (phone +47 41 69 86 62), who produces goat milk and goat meat, firewood and strawberries.
Other tips:
- It′s very nice to walk from Lian Gård to the mountains of Nordbyfjellet and Kvannfjellet.
- About 1 km past Lian Gård is a rest area with a fantastic view where you can make a barbecue.
- You can extend this cycle trip by continuing past Lian Gård to the next intersection where you turn right down towards Meistervik and continue in the same direction towards Mortenhals and Malangen Brygger (distance: around 11 km).
Malangen Brygger hires out cycles and cycle helmets. We recommend you take the following with you: food, drink and camera.
