Ladestien

Ladestien (English: the Lade Trail) is a broad walking track that strolls along the

Charlottenlund

. The western part climbs small hilltops, often with a beautiful view of the Trondheimsfjord. The eastern part is almost flat.

There is lush vegetation along the track, with

ash, elm, maple, oak). The manor is owned by Trondheim

There are several beaches (mainly rocky or with pebbles) along Ladestien, some of the most popular are Ringvebukta (not far from Ringve Museum and botanical garden) and Djupvika; the latter includes a large lawn and volleyball net. Swimming in the fjord is indeed refreshing, although a water temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) is fairly common during warm spells, and in warm summers water temperatures might reach 21 °C (70 °F). In nice summer weather, a walk along the lush Ladestien with the calm waves from the fjord rolling gently against rocks and beaches might give associations to places much further south.^[1]
