Suspension bridge on the Tømmerrenna

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

A swinging bridge made of these old water guides for logs. Parts are very rotten, and some have already broken through. Wet and slippery, it's definitely a little adventure. It's …

This hike is highly recommended. The route to the dam is a normal path, and the return journey goes through a canal where they used to float timber. You have to cross three bridges and go through a tunnel in the middle. It's pitch black, and if you're not careful, you'll get a headache! 😂

Many greetings from 🇳🇴 from Tømmerrenna. 👋 It was an exciting tour in a wooden slide that used to be used to transport tree trunks. On the way we went over two wobbly suspension bridges and through a tunnel. 😃 The start/finish was at the free car park.
