View of Nidelva River

Highlight • River

Meandering its way through Trondheim, the Nidelva River is the focal point of the town. There are some nice running and cycling paths bordering and crossing the Nidelva. There are also five bridges that cross the river, and here is one of them, the Stavne bridge. For cyclists and pedestrians, the bridge is very convenient as a means to connect Byåsen/Stavne to the university area. In addition, the views down over the Nidelva and the charming riverside houses are a delight.
