A walk that goes almost entirely downhill. You start in the Moholt student village, where five solid-timber towers stand around a car-free common. Then you walk to the Tyholt Tower, with a revolving restaurant at the top, and on to Kuhaugen, a hill with a view over the whole city and the fjord. The walk ends at the large stone church in Lademoen. Everything is free, apart from a coffee in the tower.
