Friendly staff, good food, just a very nice place to rest after a ride. Includes a splash in the lake or sauna inhouse. Staying a night or two makes totally sense since Nordmarka is an endless gravel paradise

Vikseterfossen is a hidden natural gem located in the Krokskogen region, near Lake Damtjern. The waterfall is part of a stream that flows through a lush, forested ravine, offering a more secluded experience compared to the more frequented trails in the area.

This is not Dødarbakken, but Kikutstua. Nice place for a waffel and a short break.
